    AbstractAs the number of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients increased rapidly, the Korean government decided to pay most of the related medical expenses with finances from the National Health Insurance (NHI). We aimed to document changes in NHI medical expenses during the COVID-19 pandemic period. We also sought to compare how Japan and Taiwan, neighboring countries with NHI systems, responded to COVID-19 and to discuss policy implications.© Copyright: Yonsei University College of Medicine 2023.
