ABSTRACT

To control rising costs in treating medical aid patients who get hemodialysis treatment, the korea government has begun to apply a case payment system to this population since 2001, which set a fixed price for a hemodialysis treatment regardless of type of institutions. There was cost reduction in medical aid program after the case payment system. However, the degree of satisfaction of both medical aid hemodialysis patients and physicians about a case payment system for hemodialysis treatment were low. There is no precedent study on the unconstitutionality of case payment system of medical aid hemodialysis patients. This study was conducted to improve payment system for hemodialysis patients enrolled in medical aid program, and through this study, appropriate quality of treatment would be achieved and medical aid hemodialysis patients' quality of life would be improved finally.
