How often do doctors increase their price?
« on: June 23, 2023, 08:40:23 PM »
As it is, it'll probably take me about a year-a year and a half to save up for this surgery. I wonder how often doctors increase their price based on your experience?

I would imagine it's not really a time-based thing, but rather a demand-based thing. If next year, all of a sudden 10 times as many people want to get LL surgery, then that would probably causes prices to rise across the board pretty quickly...

When they can. They aren't helping you for charity.

They seem to change it about every 1-3 years to reflect some combination of their costs and demand.

The western docs have the highest fixed costs and the lowest profit margins, and don't typically raise prices that much just because of more demand.

The non-western docs who have different prices for locals will raise their foreigner prices to whatever they can get.

Korea has been consistent for a very long time with same prices but I think with mixture of global inflation and growing popularity of the surgery the price has been increasing steadily by 10k~20k in a yearly basis for 2021 and 2022. Not sure if they are going to continue this trend for 2023 and onwards though but honestly lot of the hospitals have a very large wait time and client pool so they can probably afford to do it without much decrease in demand.
