Ulsan City implements ‘multiple fetus safety insurance support project’ to ease the burden of medical expenses for families with multiple fetuses

Ulsan City announced on the 26th that it is implementing the 'Multiple Fetal Safety Insurance Support Project' to alleviate the burden of medical expenses for families with multiple fetuses, such as twins.

This project is a system in which the city of Ulsan supports insurance subscription so that families can receive benefits without paying separate insurance premiums in order to reduce the burden of medical expenses that may arise after the birth of multiple fetuses.

Those eligible for support are multiple fetuses born in 2026 with resident registration in Ulsan.

Recipients can be covered for a total of 13 items, including emergency room visit costs, disease treatment costs, hospitalization costs, and surgery costs, for two years from the date of birth. The maximum guaranteed amount is 5 million won.

However, multiple fetuses who have moved to another city or province are excluded from coverage.

The city signed a contract with Meritz Fire & Marine Insurance last April to provide smooth insurance support.

Insurance benefits can be applied directly to the insurance company within 3 years from the date of medical expenses.

A city official said, "As the burden of medical expenses can be relatively large for families with multiple births, we hope that support for safe insurance will help ease the financial burden on these families. We will continue to discover support policies that provide practical help to families with childbirth and raising children."
