## About

## What it does

Korea Drug Reimbursement Price API provides current and historical reimbursement prices for medicines covered by South Korea's National Health Insurance (NHI). Each medicine is identified by a 9-digit Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) code and includes its maximum reimbursement price in Korean Won (KRW).

You can use the API to find a medicine's current reimbursement price, check how its price has changed over time, find prices linked to a Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS) approval item, or search medicines by product name, company, ingredient, therapeutic class, prescription type, or price range.

The API also provides monthly changes such as medicines added, price changes, and removed medicines. This makes it useful for reimbursement checks, formulary review, price comparison, and building drug pricing dashboards.
