건강생활실천지원금제The Healthy Living Practice Subsidy is a patient incentive paid to patients registered under the universal system when they practice healthy living on their own, such as walking, or when they continuously participate in disease management services provided by the clinic. This is a system that provides up to 80,000 points per year and allows them to be used at designated online shopping malls, and was previously only available in 10 regions.
The primary care chronic disease management pilot project is a project that establishes customized patient management plans at local clinics and comprehensively manages patients with high blood pressure and diabetes through education and periodic patient management.
A notification message (in the form of KakaoTalk) from the National Health Insurance Corporation will be sent from the 28th of this month to those in 99 regions where incentives will be provided.
In addition, in order to improve the quality of high blood pressure and diabetes management services provided by clinics, basic education (first time) and continuing education (yearly) are mandatory for service providers (doctors, nurses, nutritionists).
Detailed information on the improvement model can be found in the revised pilot project guideline posted on the Ministry of Health and Welfare website (www.mohw.go.kr).
Director of the Health Policy Department at the Ministry of Health and Welfare, Shinkkot Watch, said, “As we expand patient incentives, we hope that more patients with high blood pressure and diabetes will manage their health on their own initiative.” He added, “In the second half of next year, we will expand the project nationwide and distribute the points provided as incentives to local residents. “We plan to improve it so that it can be used in clinics, etc.,” he said.
