  • This paper aims to demonstrate current health expenditure (CHE) and National Health Accounts of the years 2018 constructed according to the SHA2011, which is a manual for System of Health Accounts (SHA) that was published jointly by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), Eurostat, and World Health Organization in 2011. Comparison is made with international trends by collecting and analyzing health accounts of OECD member countries. Particularly, scale and trends of the total CHE financing as well as public-private mix are parsed in depth. In the case of private financing, estimation of total expenditures for (revenues by) provider groups (HP) is made from both survey on the benefit coverage rate of National Health Insurance (by National Health Insurance Service) and Economic Census and Service Industry Census (by National Statistical Office); and other pieces of information from Korean Health Panel Study, etc. are supplementarily used to allocate those totals into functional classifications. CHE was 144.4 trillion won in 2018, which accounts for 8.1% of Korea's gross domestic product (GDP). It was a big increase of 12.8 trillion won, or 9.7%, from the previous year. GDP share of Korean CHE has already been close to the average of OECD member countries. Government and compulsory schemes' share (or public share), 59.8% of the CHE in 2018, is much lower than the OECD average of 73.6%. 'Transfers from government domestic revenue' share of total revenue of health financing was 16.9% in Korea, lower than the other social insurance countries. When it comes to 'compulsory contributory health financing schemes,' 'transfers from government domestic revenue' share of 13.5% was again much lower compared to Japan (43.0%) and Belgium (30.1%) with social insurance scheme.

  • 1988년부터 전국적으로 실시된 농어촌 지역의료보험제도의 형평성을 검토하기 위하여 1개군 지역의료보험 대상자 중 1년간 계속하여 자격을 보유하고 있었던 피보험자를 대상으로 세대당 총보험료와 능력비례 보험료에 따라 10등급으로 구분하여 1) 등급별 보험료 구성, 2) 등급별 의료이용도, 3) 등급별 보험급여액, 4) 등급별 의료이용의 진료권별 분포를 분석하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 총보험료중 능력비례 보험료가 차지하는 비율은 39.2%이었으며 등급이 증가할수록 총보험료중 능력비례 보험료가 차지하는 비율이 증가하고 있었다. 보험료 부담수준이 증가할수록 병의원 외래, 입원 및 치과 의료이용율이 증가하여 소득이 낮은 계층에서 상대적으로 큰 미충족 의료필요가 존재함을 시사하고 있었다. 총보험료 및 능력비례 보험료 등급이 증가할수록 보험료의 누적백분율이 보험급여액의 누적백분율보다 커서 상위 등급에서 하위 등급으로 보험료의 이전이 발생하고 있으나, 보험료 등급에 따른 피보험자수의 누적백분율이 보험급여액의 누적백분율보다 크게 나타나고 있어 의료보험제도 내에서도 소득수준에 따른 의료이용의 차이가 있어 매우 제한된 범위내에서 소득재분배 효과가 있는 것으로 생각되었다. 총보험료 및 능력비례 보험료 등급별 의료이용 중 군내 및 군외 1차기관이 차지하는 비율은 등급의 상승에 따라 감소하고 2차기관의 이용 비율은 증가하는 경향을 보이고 있어 의료전달체계의 실시가 병의원 이용에 있어 보험료 부담수준 또는 의료비 지불 능력에 따라 차별적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며 이는 주로 간접의료비에 기인한 것으로 생각되었다.자에게 1-2종의 항생제를 평균 1주일 정도 투여하였다. 또 어떤 의원에서는 제왕절개 분만시 모든 환자에게 전혈을 수혈하는 곳도 있었다. 이 외에도 의료기관에 따라 비타민제제, 지혈제, 자궁수축제, 진통제, 해열제, 소염제, 진정진경제, 소화제, 변비완화제, 항히스타민제, 이뇨제 등을 투여하는 빈도와 약품종류가 다양하였다. 입원기간에 있어서는 정상분만의 경우 평균 입원기간이 초산은 2.6일, 경산은 2.4일로 초산이 경산보다 약간 길었으며 어떤 병원에서는 3.5일로서 약간 긴 경우도 있었으나 대체로 비슷한 양상이었다. 제왕절개 분만에 있어서는 평균 입원기간이 초산 7.5일, 경산 7.6일로 별다른 차이는 없었다. 그러나 의료기관에 따라 가장 짧은 것은 6.5일에서 가장 긴 것이 9.4일로 차이가 났다. 평균 입원비는 일반환자인 경우 정상분만의 초산 비용은 182,100원이었고, 경산은 167,300원이었다. 의료보험인 경우 본인 부담액이 초산은 82,400원, 경산은 75,600원이었으며 제왕절개분만은 일반환자 초산인 경우 946,500원, 경산은 753,800원이었고, 의료보험인 경우 초산은 256,200원, 경산은 253,700원이었다. 대학병원간에도 정상분만 비용이 268,000원과 350,000원으로 큰 차이를 보이며 제왕절개 분만의 경우에도 각 의료기관별로 차이를 나타내고 있다. 이와 같이 의료기관에 따라 정상분만과 제왕절개분만시 임상병리검사, 투약 등에 큰 차이를 나타내고 입원기간에도 차이가 있어 결과적으로 의료비에도 큰 차이를 나타내고 있으며 어떤 기관에서는 포괄수가제를 적용하고 있는 곳도 있었다.

  • Currently, the South Korean Government does not provide sickness benefits from the National Health Insurance, which is different from most other Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development countries. The sickness benefit guarantees a part of lost income due to injuries or diseases. The purpose of this study is to propose a sickness benefit scheme for South Korea. To this end, we compare health care systems, sickness benefit schemes, and delivery systems of those in Germany, Japan, and Sweden, focusing on the seven categories: management authority, object, level of payment, duration of payment, qualification requirements, connection with paid sick leave of workplace, and financial resources, and as to delivery system, the six categories: the number of procedures, transferring document between institutions, whether or not utilizing electronic reporting system, applicant, and administrative convenience. Based on the implications derived from the case study, we propose the sickness benefit scheme and its delivery pathway and other details for South Korea. This study is first to propose the sickness benefit for health insurance in Korea with its level of details. More studies should follow with case studies of other countries, as well as productive debates to build a feasible and sustainable sickness benefit system in South Korea.

  • Reforming the insurance scheme for herbal drugs in the National Health Insurance is a long-cherished desire for Korean Medicine doctors. Because most Korean Medicine doctors distrust the quality of existing insured herbal drugs, which are powdered mixes of each herbal extract, the use and the expenditure of insured herbal drugs have been decreased in the last ten years. To address this, it has been demanded to insure the composite type of herbal preparation, which is the extracted powder of the whole prescription, to the benefit coverage for herbal drugs. Many stake holders, however, have so far been unable to reach an agreement on this. In this situation, Sasang Constitutional prescriptions are expected to make a breach of insuring the composite herbal preparations, because some of them were approved as prescription drugs in 1999. In this review, I discussed the problems of insured herbal drugs, the necessity of insuring the composite herbal preparations and Sasang Constitutional prescriptions, and the tasks of Sasang Constitutional Society to insure them.

  • Patients' health data is very sensitive and the access to individual's health data should be strictly restricted. However, many data consumers may need to use the aggregated health data. For example, the insurance companies needs to use this data to setup the premium level for health insurances. Therefore, privacy-preserving data aggregation solutions for health data have both theoretical importance and application potentials. In this paper, we propose a privacy-preserving health data aggregation scheme using differential privacy. In our scheme, patients' health data are aggregated by the local healthcare center before it is used by data comsumers, and this prevents individual's data from being leaked. Moreover, compared with the existing schemes in the literature, our work enjoys two additional benefits: 1) it not only resists many well known attacks in the open wireless networks, but also achieves the resilience against the human-factor-aware differential aggregation attack; 2) no trusted third party is employed in our proposed scheme, hence it achieves the robustness property and it does not suffer the single point failure problem.

  • Background: The purpose of this study is to examine the characteristics of and factors associated with long-term care (LTC) utilization under public long-term care insurance (LTCI) among end-of-life older adults in Korea. Methods: Using a 5% sample of older people aged 65 or older and their health and LTC insurance data, two-part model analyses were conducted. We compared LTC uses and their determinants during the last year of life among decedents in the year 2010 with those of survivors. We also compared the medical uses of the same sample with their LTC uses. Results: The end-of-life elderly were more likely to use LTC, and their expenditure on LTC was higher than their counterparts. Whether or not older people used LTC during their last year of life was significantly affected by age, sex, health insurance, household income, and living alone; however, LTC costs of the decedents were only affected by functional status, which may have been due to the reimbursement scheme of the current LTCI, which is mainly based on functional dependency level. For the survivors, having chronic diseases significantly increased the likelihood of LTC use, which was not the case for the decedents. End-of-life elderly with relatively low social economic status were more likely to use the LTC other than medical services, while the health conditions affected their medical uses most significantly. Conclusion: The study findings provide key information for predicting demand related to the increasing LTC needs of Korean older people at the end of life.

  • Background: The coverage of breast and cervical cancer screening has only slightly increased in the past decade in Thailand, and these cancers remain leading causes of death among women. This study identified socioeconomic and contextual factors contributing to the variation in screening uptake and coverage. Materials and Methods: Secondary data from two nationally representative household surveys, the Health and Welfare Survey (HWS) 2007 and the Reproductive Health Survey (RHS) 2009 conducted by the National Statistical Office were used. The study samples comprised 26,951 women aged 30-59 in the 2009 RHS, and 14,619 women aged 35 years and older in the 2007 HWS were analyzed. Households of women were grouped into wealth quintiles, by asset index derived from Principal components analysis. Descriptive and logistic regression analyses were performed. Results: Screening rates for cervical and breast cancers increased between 2007 and 2009. Education and health insurance coverage including wealth were factors contributing to screening uptake. Lower or non-educated and poor women had lower uptake of screenings, as were young, unmarried, and non-Buddhist women. Coverage of the Civil Servant Medical Benefit Scheme increased the propensity of having both screenings, while the universal coverage scheme increased the probability of cervical screening among the poor. Lack of awareness and knowledge contributed to non-use of both screenings. Women were put off from screening, especially Muslim women on cervical screening, because of embarrassment, fear of pain and other reasons. Conclusions: Although cervical screening is covered by the benefit package of three main public health insurance schemes, free of charge to all eligible women, the low coverage of cervical screening should be addressed by increasing awareness and strengthening the supply side. As mammography was not cost effective and not covered by any scheme, awareness and practice of breast self examination and effective clinical breast examination are recommended. Removal of cultural barriers is essential.

  • There have been a lot of considerable. discussion and debate surrounding the management model in the health insurance management system and opinions regarding the management operating cost. It is a well known fact that there have always been dissenting opinions and debates surrounding the issue. The management operating cost varies according to the scale of the management organization and component members characteristics of the insurance carrier. Therefore, it is necessary to examine and compare the management operating cost to the simulated management models developed to cover those eligible for the health insurance scheme in this country. Since the management operating cost can vary according to the different models of management, four alternative management models have been established based on the critical evaluation of existing theories concerned, as well as on the basis of the survey results and simulation attempts. The first alternative model is the Unique Insurance Carrier Model(Ⅰ) ; desigened to cover all of the people with no classification of insurance qualifications and finances from the source of contribution of the insured, nationwide. The second is the Management Model of Large-scale District Insurance Carrier(Ⅱ) ; this means the Korean society would be divided into 21 large districts; each having its own insurance carrier that would cover the people in that particular district with no classification of insurance qualifications arid finances as in Model I. The third is the Management Model of Insurance Carrier Divided by Area and Classified with Occupation if Largescale (Ⅲ) ; to serve the self-employed in the 21 districts divided as in Model Ⅱ. It would serve the employees and their dependents by separate insurance carriers in large-scale similar to the area of the district-scale for the self-employed, so that the insurance qualifications and finances would be classified with each of the insurance carriers: The last is the Management Model of the Multi - insurance Carrier (Ⅳ) based on the Si. Gun. Gu area which will cover their own self- employed people in the area with more than 150 additional insurance carriers covering the employees and their dependents. The manpower necessary to provide services to all of the people according to the four models is calculated through simulation trials. It indicates that the Management Model of Large-scale District Insurance Carrier requires the most manpower among the four alternative models. The unit management operating costs per the insured individuals and covered persons are leveled with several intervals based on the insurance recipients. in their characteristics. The interval levels derived from the regression analysis reveal that the larger the scale of the insurance carriers is in the number of those insured and covered. the more the unit management operating cost decreases. significantly. Moreover. the result of the quadratic functional formula also shows the U-shape significantly. The management operating costs derived from the simulated calculation. on the basis of the average salary and related cost per staff- member of the Health Insurance Societies for Occupational Labours and Korean Medical Insurance Corporation for the Official Servants and Private School Teachers in 1987 fiscal year. show that the Model of Multi-insurance Carrier warrants the highest management operating cost. Meanwhile the least expensive management operating cost is the Management Model of Unique Insurance Carrier. Insurance Carrier Divided by Area and Classified with Occupation in Large-scale. and Large-scale District Insurance Carrier. in order. Therefore. it is feasible to select the Unique Insurance Carrier Model among the four alternatives from the viewpoint of the management operating cost and in the sense of the flexibility in promoting the productivity of manpower in the human services field. However. the choice of the management model for health insurance systems and its application should be examined further utilizing the operation research analysis for such areas as the administrative efficiency and factors related to computer cost etc.

  • In Korea, telemedicine is still under the beginning stage, but we expect that the developing 'Information Highway' will make this technology more common place and more easily used in coming soon. Currently, three hospitals are providing telemedicine services with their subsidiary hospitals which are far away from their remote place. However, the fee schedule of telemedicine services are not well-settled down, of course not reimbursed through current health insurance system. This study aims to develop new payment system for medical services provided through telemedicaine system. To design appropriate fee schedule for telemedicine services, we, first, review the current insurance payment system and telemedicine system both in domestic and foreign countries focusing on its payment system. A framework of telemedicine payment system is proposed in following steps based on information we acquired from this stage. Second. We decide the span of cost items which should be covered by telemedicine payment scheme. In hear, we suggest payment method for telemedicine services should be designed as dual structure which are telemedicine fee that should be reimbursed through payment scheme and any costs related to capital investment that should not be covered by payment system. Which is, payment system for telemedicine services should cover only service-related costs and any costs related to capital investment should be generated through third party such as government, health insurance association, etc. Finally, we suggest new fee schedules for telemedicine services. The key issues on developing telemedicine fee schedules are related with the determination of appropriate additional rate($\alpha$). The reasonable additional rate($\alpha$) must determine through careful evaluation of any additional efforts(e. g. : additional work hours which are related to providing telemedicine services). This study shows the process of how to determine appropriate additional rate($\alpha$).

  • 본 논문은 65세 이상 고령인구의 수와 노인들의 건강상태 등만을 중심으로 한 기존의 연구에 더하여, 노인장기요양보험제도 제2차 시범사업의 자료를 이용한 계량분석을 통해 장기요양서비스 수요의 결정요인을 분석하였다. 분석 결과에 따르면, 우선 노인장기요양보험제도상 장기요양서비스 이용에 대한 보험 적용 대상자를 정하는 등급판정에 일상생활활동에서의 장애가 노인들이 많이 앓고 있는 고혈압, 관절염, 치매 등의 질환을 통제하고서도 통계적으로 유의한 영향을 미쳤다. 또한 노인들의 건강상태, 여성, 기초생활수급자 여부, 노인가구 형태, 노인가구의 월평균 소득 등이 장기요양서비스이용 및 이용 양태에 통계적으로 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 특히, 노인가구의 월평균 소득을 통제하고서도 장기요양서비스를 무료로 이용할 수 있는 기초생활수급 대상 노인들의 재가서비스 이용확률이 높게 나타나는데, 이는 소득과 더불어 장기요양서비스의 가격도 장기요양서비스 이용을 결정하는 중요한 요인임을 의미한다.
