First, this paper will present the analytical results of the regional equity in utilization of National Health Insurance. the CI of benefit cost and outpatient utilization show a positive number, but inpatient utilization show a negative number. This means the benefit cost and outpatient utilization of National Health Insurance are concentrated in urban areas and the inpatient utilization in rural areas. Second, the regional differences in health status are as follows. The CI of the death ratio, subjective health status cognition, the numbers and contraction of chronic disease display a negative number. Therefore, health needs in relation to four items are concentrated in rural area. On the other hand, the CI of health needs in the numbers and contraction of acute disease display a positive number. It means that health needs in relation to acute disease is concentrated among old people in urban areas. The health status of rural inhabitant are worse off than those living in urban areas, because they are much more exposed to serious and chronic disease. Third, the Le Grand index is calculated by the difference between the CI of National Health Insurance and the CI of health needs. Benefit costs and outpatient utilization show a positive number in the event considering death ratio, subjective health status cognition, the numbers and contraction of chronic disease.
