The cost of radiofrequency ablation in South Korea typically ranges from $11,500 to $13,900. Pricing can vary depending on the hospital, the experience of the physician, the complexity of the case, and whether the procedure targets the spine, liver, thyroid, or other areas. In the United States, the average cost is $40,000 (according to AHA). That means radiofrequency ablation in South Korea is about 68% cheaper than in the U.S.
Korean clinics usually include the initial consultation, imaging (such as ultrasound or CT guidance), the ablation procedure itself, anesthesia, and a short hospital stay. Post-procedure follow-up and medications are often part of the package. In the U.S., many of these items—especially imaging, anesthesia, and aftercare—are billed separately. Always confirm exactly what’s included with your clinic.
