This study was performed to assess feasibility for expanding of prescribing incentive system through survey for prescribing management system and awareness to the system by types of medical institutions. We conducted mail survey for the persons in charge of prescribing drug management in tertiary hospitals, secondary hospitals, and hospitals by the structured questionnaire. The survey results shows the difference in selection process of prescribing medicines, presence of drug formulary, individual assessment and feedback to clinicians by types of institutions. Tertiary hospitals had higher negative response to availability of less-priced drugs and possibility of reduction in pharmaceutical expenditure after introduction of the incentive system. Supports from the government and medical institutions will be needed to minimize the healthcare provider`s inconvenience and to improve the effect of the incentive system when it is expanded.
