CHAUM is a premium preventive-health and medical-checkup center in Gangnam, Seoul. Its current Korean price page lists the basic checkup at ₩1,090,000, with organ-specific packages and optional tests priced separately. The service is organized around a private Hive room, one-to-one physician review and staff who bring tests to the patient where practical. English-language coordinators are available, but the English site does not mirror the complete current Korean package table, so international patients should request a translated inclusion list and final quote.
What we checked
We checked the provider’s current program pages and, where available, independent or regulatory sources listed below. We then separated standard inclusions from optional costs and open questions. Every source carries the date we reviewed it.
The short answer
CHAUM is a credible option for a traveler who wants a concentrated hospital-linked checkup with privacy, same-day physician discussion and language coordination. The public base price is useful, but a buyer can quickly move into higher-cost MRI, CT, genetic, endoscopy or disease-specific add-ons. Choose tests from age, symptoms, history and established screening guidance, then confirm who reviews each finding and how records and follow-up will work after you leave Korea.
At a glance
The current basic program combines common screening tests with abdominal ultrasound and gastroscopy. Higher programs add targeted cardiovascular, brain, liver, pancreatic, respiratory, women’s-health or other testing, while the English pages describe MRI, lower-dose CT, ultrasound, genetic testing and broader aging-related assessments. The private-room workflow is a real service difference, but the medical value still depends on choosing the right tests for the individual.
The current Korean page lists the basic checkup at ₩1,090,000 and an additional ₩183,000 for sedated endoscopy. Published specialized packages range higher, and separate MRI, CT, monitoring and laboratory sets can be added. Prices on older English PDFs should not be treated as current quotes. Ask for a dated English proposal that shows the base package, sex- and age-specific items, sedation, pathology, contrast, specialist review and any recommended add-on.
CHAUM says a personal physician provides a one-to-one consultation and that results can be discussed on the day of the checkup. Its international center lists interpretation support and coordination across the CHA Health System. The public pages do not state the duration of the physician meeting or a standard post-visit schedule. Confirm when final pathology and imaging reports arrive, who contacts you about urgent findings and whether a later video or in-person appointment is included.
Korea’s disease-control guidance notes that screening can produce false positives, false negatives, procedural injury, anxiety and unnecessary cost, and recommends screening when benefits clearly outweigh harms for the target population. That applies directly to optional CT, MRI, endoscopy and biomarker panels. Ask why each proposed test fits your age and risk, what a positive result triggers and whether the follow-up procedure is available before you leave Seoul.
CHAUM emphasizes privacy, a concentrated checkup and access to a larger Korean medical network. Chi offers clearer English tier comparisons and remote support; Sheba places a lower-cost longevity track inside an academic hospital; YEARS publishes European program tiers with different imaging levels. Compare the translated test list, physician minutes, radiation or sedation exposure, final-report timing and cross-border follow-up rather than the luxury setting.
The current Korean page lists the basic program at ₩1,090,000. Specialized packages, sedation and optional MRI, CT, monitoring or laboratory tests cost extra.
