FY2008
National Health Insurance Premiums Have Been Determined
National Health Insurance premiums for April 2008 through March 2009 are the sum of the Basic Portion (for Medical Treatment), Latter-Term Elderly Support Portion, and Nursing Care Insurance Premiums (for those between 40 and 64 years of age) and are to be paid by the head of the household.
The insurance premium rates for per-capita amounts and income-based amounts are determined based on insurance premiums covering expenses for medical treatment, the support portion for latter-term elderly medical insurance, and premiums paid by Type 2 members of Nursing Care Insurance.
Annual Insurance Premium for a Household = (1) Basic Portion (for Medical Treatment) + (2) Latter-Term Elderly Support Portion + (3) Nursing Care Insurance Premiums
