Abstract
Objectives: To study the standard herb prescriptions based on the specific names of the sick and wounded for the application of Eastern Medicine Health Insurance. Methods: We selected 678 herb prescriptions from the eleven Eastern medical books recognized by the Ministry for Health of Korea and then researched the concrete opinions of Korean Oriental Medicine Societies (KOMS) on those herb prescriptions from July 31, 2006 to August 31, 2006. Results and Conclusions: KOMS said that 80 herb prescriptions must be included and 26 herb prescriptions must be excluded. They also said that the proper numbers of the specific names of the sick and wounded for the application of Eastern Herbal Medicine Health Insurance were 20-29 and the proper range of herb prescription change was within 30 percent.
