Abstract

Objectives The purpose of this study was to analyze the Chuna manual therapy usage status after the application of Chuna manual therapy health insurance. Methods This study analyzed the health insurance data (2019-2021). From April 2019 to December 2021, monthly data were collected by simple Chuna, complex Chuna (own expense 50%), complex Chuna (own expense 80%), and special (dislocation) Chuna. Results The major results are as follows. First, in hospital-level medical institutions, simple Chuna and complex Chuna (own expense 50%) occupied a similar proportion. In clinic-level medical institutions, simple Chuna occupies the largest proportion. Second, the amount of use decreased in all medical institutions after September, which is thought to be the result of restrictions on Chuna manual therapy health insurance. Conclusions Therefore, it is necessary to conduct research by receiving more detailed data onr Chuna manual therapy health insurance. Through this, an improved policy of Chuna manual therapy health insurance should be discussed.
