초록

In this research a model for establishing a new, rational fee schedule for general surgical procedures in a national health insurance program is developed. A fuzzy multiple criteria decision-making (FMCDM) model is proposed. The relative values of eleven surgical procedures were obtained through an empirical study based on the FMCDM model. Consequently, a new fee schedule obtained from the FMCDM model. This new fee schedule is more convincing than previous schedule and more persuasive to the references for the policy setting.
