Critical Care Assistance
Individuals with overdue premiums because of economic
difficulties can still receivemedical care. If a hospital physician
determines that a patient needs to be hospitalized, or given
emergency treatment or critical care, the patient only needs to
provide a certificate of low-income status from the hospital
or borough chief to receive care as an insured patient. Based
on the specific circumstances of each case, the NHIA then
helps people by re-enrolling them in the NHI program (if their
eligibility was suspended because of overdue premiums),
deferring their premiums, referring them to a charitable
organization or allowing bills to be paid in installments. In
2012, 3,787
patients with outstanding bills totaling NT$110
million received help in this way.
Contributions from Lotteries
In addition to the installment plans, relief loans and
referral plans used to safeguard the right of the economically
disadvantaged to care, the NHIA has also vied for public
welfare lottery funds since 2008 to provide financial assistance
to individuals in need. Eligible patients are notified through
the program that they will receive help in paying what they
owe. As of the end of June 2013, a total of NT$2.66 billion
in subsidies had been paid for 124,798 people through the
program (Table 11).
