Abstract

The purpose of this study was to identify the average cost and present status of non-benefit medical expenses by using the data of tertiary hospitals released by the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service(HIRA), and to compare the data to find cost variations. The target of analysis was the present status of the non-benefit medical expenses reported by 41 tertiary hospitals among the 44 previously designated hospitals (three were excluded due to revocation or new designation) for 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018 (until April). This study was conducted after approval of using the released data of the HIRA's data opening system. This study was analyzed by its general characteristics, annual non-benefit medical expenses by frequency analysis, and annual understanding of variation by designating Coefficient of Variation (C.V.). The research found out that the number of details of non-benefit medical expense was gradually increased: the numbers of categories were 51 in 2015, 53 in 2016, and 98 in 2017, but there was a rapid increase in 2018 by 193. As a result, to standardize non-benefit medical expense items across tertiary hospitals due to their variations in the expenses, the government should expand standardized non-benefit medical expenses and make it mandatory for medical institutions to use the standardized items or names of such expenses.

이 연구의 목적은 건강보험심사평가원에서 공개한 2015년 4월부터 2018년 4월까지 상급종합병원의 비급여 진료비 자료를 사용하여 비급여 진료비 항목별로 현황 및 평균 비용과 변이가 있는지 파악하는 것이다. 조사대상은 2015년, 2016년, 2017년, 2018년 4월 기준 상급종합병원 44개 기관 중 취소되거나 신규로 지정된 기관은 제외하고 최종 41개 상급종합병원의 비급여 진료비 현황이다. 연구방법은 건강보험심사평가원 정보공개창구에서 공개 자료를 요청한 후 승인을 받아 진행하였다. 분석방법은 일반적 특성과 연도별 비급여 항목 현황은 빈도분석, 연도별 변이 파악은 변동계수(C.V.)를 선정하여 분석하였다. 연구 결과, 비급여 진료비 세부항목의 현황을 비교 분석한 결과 비급여 항목의 개수가 2015년에는 총 51개였지만, 2016년 53개, 2017년, 98개로 점점 증가 추세를 보였으며 2018년에는 총 193개 항목으로 급격히 증가하였다. 상급종합병원 비급여 진료비 변이에 따른 항목 표준화를 위해서 정부는 비급여 진료비 표준화를 확대하고 의료기관은 표준화된 비급여 진료비 항목이나 명칭 등을 사용하도록 의무화하여야 한다.
