Disclosure of the direction of the Ministry of Health and Welfare and the Ministry of Health and Welfare

Ho-Jun Son, Manager, “I will put my concerns about new drugs and medical technologies, and an innovative health insurance system”

The government plans to include discussions on the need to apply innovative insurance systems such as new drugs and new medical technology 'seondeungjae-postevaluation' to strengthen treatment coverage for severe diseases such as cancer in the '2nd National Health Insurance Comprehensive Plan' to be established in the second half of this year.

 

The purpose is to draw a blueprint for the future in which a sustainable health insurance policy to supply new drugs and new medical technologies to the people in a timely manner can be discussed at the social consensus body.

 

In particular, it also revealed the direction that measures to activate home medical treatment and institutionalize non-face-to-face treatment will inevitably be included in the 2nd comprehensive health insurance plan to establish a health care policy that goes beyond time and space constraints.

 

The Ministry of Health and Welfare and KIHASA, which initiated the establishment of the 2nd health insurance plan, made this announcement on the 19th at the 'policy debate for health insurance reform desired by the people hosted by Lee Jong-Seong, a member of the People's Power, and hosted by the Future Health Network.

 

On this day, the results of a public awareness survey on national health insurance conducted with 5,000 people across the country were released.

 

As a result of the survey, 85% of the respondents agreed to strengthen the guarantee of new drugs and new medical technologies for the treatment of severe diseases such as cancer or rare diseases.

 

Shin Hyun-woong, a senior research fellow at the National Health Insurance Institute, who is in charge of research on the 2nd health insurance comprehensive plan, revealed the direction of the comprehensive health insurance plan.

 

Researcher Shin Hyeon-wrong explained that although the details cannot be mentioned in detail as the research is still in progress, the outline of the health insurance plan set up by the Yoon government will be partially disclosed.

 

Commissioner Shin said that the 2nd Comprehensive Health Insurance Plan would take a different direction than the previous administration, which focused on increasing the coverage rate by resolving economic accessibility.

 

It was said that the 2nd Comprehensive Plan would contain not only economic feasibility, but also concerns about medical coverage policies that transcend time, space, geography, and service constraints anytime, anywhere.

 

Commissioner Shin cited home medical services and institutionalization of non-face-to-face medical treatment as representative examples.

 

In particular, he said that he would include in the research the health insurance pre-registration and post-evaluation policies for new drugs and new medical technologies, along with measures to resolve the current fee-for-service fee system limitations.

 

Commissioner Shin said, "Currently, the people's medical need is high, but there is a problem that the medical service itself is not created.

 

The essential medical vacuum comes out when you turn on the news." "We will provide medical guarantees that go beyond the limits of time and space.

 

For a health care policy that resolves time and space constraints, home medical care and non-face-to-face care have no choice but to be dealt with," he explained.

 

Commissioner Shin said, “The higher the frequency of the fee-for-service system, the higher the profit.

 

The lower the investment, the lower the investment.” We are thinking about reorganizing the payment system," he added.

 

Commissioner Shin said, "In terms of coverage, we will cover not only treatment but also prevention and health care, as well as mental health.

 

We are considering a system that preemptively guarantees medical safety net funds, anticancer drugs, and expensive drugs for rare diseases." I am doing it," he said.

 

Son Ho-Joon, head of the insurance policy department at the Ministry of Health and Welfare, also announced that he would establish a second health insurance plan to create a structure in which the health insurance system plays a role in ensuring people's medical care.

 

He also said that he would improve the problem of financial leakage, and discuss the registration of health insurance for anticancer drugs, rare disease treatments, and innovative medical technologies and medical practices.

 

Manager Son Ho-Joon said, "We plan to establish a second health care plan that includes not only the financial sustainability of health insurance but also the reason for the existence of the health insurance system." A representative case is to catch the unnecessary leakage of finance and invest in essential childbirth and pediatric medical care.” Manager Son said, "In addition to this short-term approach, a structural and health insurance approach is included in the comprehensive plan.

 

We will also discuss the issue of the payment system and enter into it to ensure the people's essential medical care." It also includes discussing the application of an innovative insurance system for new drugs and new medical technologies to enable the continuous supply of medical services while looking at whether they will play a role.”
