National Health Insurance Corporation published the “2010’ Major Surgery Statistics”
-1.48 million received 33 major surgeries and 3.8 trillion won have been spent
National Health Insurance Corporation (President Kim, Jong Dae) informed that it has published and is distributing the 2010 Major Surgery Statistics by analyzing detailed data on health insurance and medical care expenditures.
The selected ones are 20 surgeries required by OECD such as cataract surgery, tonsillectomy, stent insertion, coronary artery bypass, etc and 13 surgeries that are highly expensive or have a growing demand recently such as brain tumor, gastric resection, hepatic resection, hemorrhoidectomy, regular spinal surgery, thyroid surgery, etc to make it in line with the Statistical Year Book that has been published since 2006. The analysis is based on the hospitalization and medical treatment bills issued to the patients whose medical treatment began in 2010.
By having codes of each surgery validated by evaluators from hospitals and medical academies, accuracy of data for the 2010 Surgery Statistics has been solidified. Also, the statistics are available in English, making it possible to compare with the OECD health index by country.
In addition, the Major Surgery Statistics will be available for all users at the statistical data room at the website of the National Health Insurance Corporation (www.nhic.or.kr). Also, wider and easier access to the statistical data will be available for users sooner or later by linking the Major Surgery Statistics publication data with KOSIS, a national statistical portal provided by Statistics Korea.
