Nationwide Implementation of 'Major Changes to Health Insurance Payment Methods', Latest Regulations at a Glance-1

Citizens preparing to work abroad, study overseas, or be on long-term assignments often worry about not being able to return home for short periods, potentially incurring late fees or affecting their health insurance benefits if their families forget to pay their National Health Insurance premiums. Previously, individuals had to personally visit financial institutions or National Health Insurance Administration counters to set up automatic deductions, often finding it difficult to complete the process in time due to the rush before departure. To thoroughly address this pain point, the National Health Insurance Administration has launched a new convenient system to protect the health insurance rights of citizens going abroad! No need to go out or visit an office! Complete 'Automatic Premium Payment' anytime, anywhere by logging into online banking. Director Chen Liang-yu of the National Health Insurance Administration stated that to provide more diverse and convenient digital services to the public, the Administration has partnered with 10 domestic financial institutions to fully open online applications for 'automatic deduction of National Health Insurance premiums' via online banking. As long as citizens have an online banking account with a partner bank, they can complete the setup online anytime, anywhere before their departure. In the future, monthly National Health Insurance premiums will be automatically deducted from the designated account, saving time and ensuring security without needing to leave home or visit an office. Even when abroad, there's no need to worry about missed payments.
