2024 National Health Insurance Premium Statements and Payment Slips

National Health Insurance (NHI) premium statements and payment slips based on the income during the year 2023 will be sent to heads of households on 6/14.

Calculation of insurance premiums

Annual health insurance premium amount is calculated based on the number of the enrolled health insurance members and the total income amount of the household in the year 2023.

Reduction of insurance premiums

For households whose total annual income earned between January and December of the previous year is below designated levels, the per capita amount of their NHI premiums are reduced by 70%, 50%, or 20%. Whether a household qualifies for a reduction will be determined by total household income. Therefore, residents are required to declare the income of all household members, even in cases when there is no income.
