National Health Insurance

Take your National Health Insurance Card with you when going to see your doctor. By presenting your card, your medical costs at the hospital will be reduced 70% under the National Health Insurance Program.
In case you are hospitalized or have to undergo surgery, you can reduce the amount that you must pay at the hospital, by presenting a “Maximum Payable Amount Certificate”. If you expect to be charged high medical treatment fees, take your health insurance card, residence card and Individual Number “My Number” Card or Notification Card to the Health Insurance and Pension Division of your local ward office to apply for the Maximum Payable Amount Certificate prior to hospitalization or surgery.
If you are hospitalized before you have a chance to obtain the certificate, you must pay the whole amount of your medical fees at the hospital. After being discharged from the hospital, go to your local ward office to apply for the certificate, then return to the hospital reception desk and present it. The amount you overpaid will be transferred into your bank account a few months later.
