Health Insurance (National Health Insurance)

National Health Insurance premiums comprise a medical portion, support portion, and Long-Term Care Insurance portion (only for those between 40 and 64 years of age). Each portion is determined by adding together an income-based amount from the previous year and per-capita amount. The latter is calculated based on the number of all enrollees of the National Health Insurance (NHI). To ensure that NHI premiums are calculated correctly, an income tax report for the entire household is necessary. Your cooperation in this matter would be appreciated.
