A STUDY ON THE MEDICAL TREATMENT FEE SYSTEM OF AUTO INSURANCE

Insurance companies and medical institutions pay for auto accident victims according to the ‘medical treatment fee system’ set by the Ministry of Construction & Transportation. Due to improper and somewhat unrealistic provisions of the current fee system, however, auto accident victims may not get treated well enough. Considering the significance of the auto insurance in our society, it is so important to review the problems of the current ‘medical treatment fee system’ and think about its improvement. Specifically, Provision 5.2 covers many relevant issues including complication, selective treatment, first class room use and others that are so important compensation matters to auto accident victims and that is why it needs to be reviewed more carefully and be improved.
