Many new immigrants do not know that their NHI enrollment status shall be continuously kept without a withdrawal. If they fail to keep enroll in the NHI, a high premium bill could be charged at one time when they re-enroll in the NHI. The NHIA reminds new immigrants to ensure their own rights related to the NHI and remain insured in time. If the new immigrants qualify for the "NHI subsidy program for new immigrants before having a household registration," they can fill out the application form to apply for the subsidy to partially waive the NHI premiums.

"Care for the Disadvantaged" is a goal of the NHI. In order to safeguard the health of the disadvantaged, for example, the NHIA Kaoping Division has helped 2,760 new immigrants applying for this NHI premium subsidies totaling over NT$12.58 million. Meanwhile, through the cross-sector cooperation between the government and charity groups, and by using lottery feedback funds and donations, over 6,200 economically disadvantaged people have been subsidized.

If you need further information and related regulations, please visit the NHIA website for further information. If anyone has financial difficulties to pay NHI premiums, please report the case on the NHIA "Disadvantaged People Reporting Platform," ensuring the rights to access health care.
