Medical insurance after you retire - Illustration Continuation of benefits Medical Care System for Retired Persons Voluntary and continuous insured person Once you turn 75


Financial adjustments to medical costs for persons in the earlier stages of old age

 

A system has been adopted to make adjustments for inequalities between the costs paid by different insurers resulting from the large number of persons aged 65 - 74 (referred to as “persons in the earlier stages of old age”) enrolled in National Health Insurance. These adjustments correspond to the number of insured persons covered by each insurer.

This system makes financial adjustments only. Persons in the earlier stages of old age will continue to be covered by their current health insurance plans unchanged.



Eligible persons


Persons in the earlier stage of old age from 65 through 74 years of age



Personal cost burden


Co-payments will remain unchanged.



System for making adjustments


Inequalities in cost burdens will be adjusted by comparing the percentage of persons insured (by each insurer) who qualified as persons in the earlier stages of old age (65 to 74 years old) with the average percentage of all insured persons who qualified as the persons in the earlier stages of old age (65 to 74 years old).
