When you incur high medical care costs

The copayment for medical care costs you can be required to pay is capped. If your copayment calculated based on a certain standards exceeds this maximum, the excess amount will be paid as “High-Cost Medical Care Benefits”.

The expenses combined with any additional sum will be paid automatically to the insured person in four or five months. However, the additional sum to cover a person who has not yet graduated from junior high school will be paid upon application.

When you want to reduce the amount of medical care costs you pay at the medical care institution

We recommend using a Myna health insurance card. By doing so, your cost-sharing maximum amount information will be provided with no need to give your consent and you will no longer need a Certificate of Application of Maximum Copayment Amount.

Required documents: Print size

A4

Applies to: Insured persons or dependents whose copayment amounts for one month are expected to exceed their individual cost-sharing maximum amounts in the following cases:
  • Examinations and treatment received at a medical care institution or other facility that has not adopted the online eligibility verification system
  • When not using a Myna health insurance card
  • When not using a Myna health insurance card and you are 70 or older and in the same income category as active workers Ⅰ or Ⅱ
  • * Even when using a Myna health insurance card, those in the low income category must apply in advance for a Maximum Copayment/Reduced Standard Copayment Certificate to be treated as falling in the low income category.

Notes: You can use this system for both inpatient and outpatient costs.
