ABSTRACT

This study investigates how the lump-sum type health insurance affect the length of stay, by using Korea Medical Panel Survey. The research uses the duration analysis to look into the difference of probability of being discharged from hospital between lump-sum type health insurance holders and non-holders. The results show that there is not statistically significant difference of the probability of being discharged between them. It may imply that lump-sum type health insurance holders do not affect the medical use, covered by Nathional Health Insurance of Korea.
