본 연구는 장기요양 1등급 건강보험가입자를 대상으로 장기요양서비스 이용자와 미이용자의 의료비 지출 차이를 비교하고, 의료비 지출에 미치는 영향 요인을 규명해 보고자 시도하였다. 연구 대상은 건강보험가입자로 2009년 1월 1일부터 12월 31일까지 1등급 판정을 받은 21,213명 전수를 대상으로 국민건강보험공단의 장기요양급여, 건강보험급여 자료를 활용하였다. 연구결과 2007년부터 2009년의 연간 총 진료비 변화량의 경우 서비스 이용자에 비해 미이용자는 5,337천원 증가하였으며, 연간 요양병원 진료비 변화량은 5,449천원 증가하였다. 연간 총 입원일 변화량의 경우 서비스 이용자에 비해 미이용자는 87.31일 증가하였으며, 요양병원 입원일 변화량은 79.47일 증가한 것으로 나타났다. 이 같은 결과는 장기요양 서비스 미이용자의 의료이용, 특히 요양병원의 의료이용이 높게 나타남에 따라 미이용자에 대한 적정의료와 요양서비스 지원 정책을 통해 장기요양과 의료서비스의 효율적 연계가 필요로 된다.
