The financial crisis of the National Health Insurance caused by the separation of prescription and dispensing of drugs had been overcome due to the government’s urgent financial countermeasures, increase of contribution rate, and expenditure-control policies. However, the balance has became in deficit again for the years 2006 and 2007. Although the balance has turned into a surplus in 2008, it is expected that an increase in the contribution rate of 12~13% is likely with the aging of the population, increases in chronic diseases such as hypertension and diabetes, a rise in national income, and development of new medical technologies. Moreover, as Korea’s total health expenditure (THE) remains at a very low level compared to many other countries’, it is expected that the insurance expenditure as well as THE will further increase. Due to the current economic recession, possible financial risk factors including the increase in the number of defaulters should be considered, too. This study is intended to examine the measures for financial stability and to present the amendment of contribution rate of the insured as one of the measures for financial efficiency from the consumer side, in order to ensure efficient use of health resources.
