The National Health Insurance Service said on the 30th that it provides information on noncovered medical services on Naver. When users search for terms such as extracorporeal shockwave on Naver, an artificial intelligence (AI)-curated summary appears along with information on the prices, effectiveness, and safety of noncovered services.
To do this, the service linked the noncovered information portal with Naver search results. The noncovered information portal is a site that provides the public with information on noncovered medical services. Previously, it was available through the National Health Insurance Service website (www.nhis.or.kr) or the mobile app Health Insurance 25 Hours.
The service said it partnered with Naver to strengthen the public's access to medical information. Users can currently search 22 noncovered items, including extracorporeal shockwave and proliferative therapy. It plans to expand the noncovered items linked with Naver search going forward.
An official at the service said, "We will build a medical information environment that the public can trust."
