AB - The paper analyzed four types of barriers, which exist in the service utilization process: barriers in eligibility criteria, availability of services and benefits, availability of facility resources, and financial barriers. Also discussed is whether the current system has tried to increase service accessibility by minimizing under-utilization or excessive over-utilization of services. It can be concluded that the long-term care insurance system in Korea has paid little attention to policies for preventing under- utilization of services,while it has emphasized policy efforts at minimizing over-utilization of services. The Korean government has focused on short- term issues of cost reduction and financial sustainability, while ignoring long-term societal costs which will be incurred from under-utilization of services. It is suggested that policy makers need to examine effective accessibility issues to esbablish a more efficient service delivery system.
