Word origin
본인부담금 (boninbudamgeum, "the amount paid by the person") is a Sino-Korean compound of 본인 (bonin, "the person themselves"), 부담 (budam, "payment responsibility"), and 금 (geum, "amount").
Usage tips
- In Korean clinics and pharmacies, the amount may change with insurance coverage and the patient's coverage category, so the final bill is not always the same as the listed charge.
