Medical Care Cost Information

In an effort to raise your understanding and awareness of our health insurance system and ensure appropriate medical treatment expenses, we send you early February via school a statement of medical expenses describing an annual record of providers and expenses of your clinical and medical treatment for the period of November of the previous year to October of the current year.

The statement may be used as a referential evidence for the filing of your income tax returns (for medical expenses deduction).

People who will receive the notice

Members and dependents who have visited a medical institution between November of the previous year and October of that year (persons that retired before the data extraction date (late December of that year) are excluded).

Note:
“Medical Care Cost Information” will include the expenses for both the member and dependents.

Note

1. “Medical Care Cost Information” is created based on the medical statement received at PMAC by December of that year, and does not include the medical expenses for medical care during November and December of that year. Receipts can be used to file the medical care during November and December.
2. If there is a delay in claiming a medical statement by a medical institution and if this was not reflected on the “medical care cost information,” receipts can be used to file that medical care.
3. Medical expense for Judo therapy, acupuncture, moxa cautery, massage, and medical apparatus are not included in “Medical Care Cost Information,” receipts can be used to file them (includes the expense for dependents).
4. Information on Benefit for High-cost Medical Care and Copayment Refund paid from PMAC are not included in the “Medical Care Cost Information.” Refer to “Benefit Decision and Remittance Notification” to file tax returns.
5. We cannot reissue “Medical Care Cost Information” for 2017 and before.
6. For those that do not wish the “Medical Care Cost Information” to be sent, contact the short-term benefit division medical expense reimbursement section individually by document or phone before the data extraction date (late December of that year). We cannot handle any request after that date.
7. If there are any issues regarding the final tax return (medical expense deduction) process, refer to the National Tax Agency’s homepage or contact your closest tax office.
