AB - Foreigners are known to have various difficulties in accessing medical services in their resident countries. On the other hand, in Korea, illegal or over-utilization of NHIS by a few of foreigners by foreigners became a social problem. However, there was not enough empirical researches for their medical utilization of NHIS foreign subscribers. Thus, this study looked at the pattern and characteristics of medical use of NHIS foreign subscribers through the data of all NHIS subscribed foreigners over the past five years (2013-2017).
Foreign health insurance subscribers in Korea have a higher proportion of non-users of medical insurance compared to Korean subscribers, and their overall use of medical care was low, including the number of days per person and cost for medical treatment per person. However, considering the high cost of hospitalization, it is possible that the foreigners have had more serious case mix than Koreans.
