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($\alpha$).

우리나라는 의료법 제34조에서 의료인 간 원격의료를 규정하고 있다. 따라서 원칙적으로 의료인과 환자 사이의 원격의료는 인정되지 않는다. 그러나 코로나19 팬데믹 이후 원격의료의 필요성에 대한 요구가 증대되었고, 다른 한편으로 원격의료의 경험이 축적되면서 의료계의 강경한 반대입장에도 변화가 감지되고 있다. 본고에서는 의료인-환자간 원격의료를 전제로 한 원격의료법제에 참고가 될 수 있는 프랑스의 원격의료법제를 중심으로 고찰하였다. 프랑스는 「공중보건법전(Code de la santé publique)」을 통해 원격의료의 개념, 유형 및 원격의료 수행 조건을 규정하고 있다. 특히 원격의료는 대면진료와 번갈아 가며 수행되어야 한다는 원칙 및 원격의료 비용과 의료수가, 원격의료장비 지원 등 원격의료 수행에 관한 세부내용을 의료계와 건강보험기구가 체결한 협약을 통해 규정하고 있는 점으로부터 우리법제에 대한 시사점을 제시하였다.
