Current DAN policy for treatment in Korea is to pay up front, then get a receipt and file a claim with DAN. John Lippmann of DAN-SEAP assures us that you will be reimbursed. This goes for chamber treatment as well. If you do not have the money up front, Mr. Lippmann advises that DAN members call DAN-SEAP's 'Travel Assist' number (1-919-684-3483) for further assistance.
