Outpatient copayments for the elderly at local clinics to more than double

‌

Currently, when seniors aged 65 and older receive physical therapy and medication,
the structure is 1,880 KRW out-of-pocket + 18,120 KRW covered by National Health Insurance.
Starting next year,
the structure will change to 4,240 KRW out-of-pocket + 15,760 KRW covered by National Health Insurance.
This will be a huge help in preventing excessive medical shopping by the elderly and saving on health insurance premiums.
But the Medical Association is working hard to block this lol
