Objective: This study aims to increase the interest of therapists in claiming fees by examining the aware ness of health insurance fee claims, practice degrees, and educational requirements for occupa tional therapists, and furthermore, to help develop occupational therapy along with appropriate compensation for intervention.
Methods: For 256 occupational therapists working in Gwangju and Jeollanam-do, a questionnaire on the awareness of health insurance fee, education requirements, and practice was conducted in a self-filling method, and 256 copies were used as final analysis data. For data analysis, descriptive statistics, frequency analysis, t-test, ANOVA, and Pearson correlation analysis were performed using the SPSS program.
Results: First, as a result of examining the perceptions of occupational therapists on the health insurance fee, those who answered ‘I don't know about the rate of reduction in medical expenses’ account for 75%, showing lack of awareness in general. And also the most respondents answered that education was ‘necessary’. The education demand for occupational therapy fee was the highest. The response to practice was ‘average level’. Second, as a result of examining the correlation between education requirements and practiceitems, a significant positive correlation was found (p<.05).
Conclusion: It is thought that systematic and continuous education and effort on health insurance fee claim will help to improve the awareness of fee claim and reduce the cost of medical care benefits.
