Methods : Since the commencement of the government health insurance program in 1977, there has been criticism that the national insurance fee for health care service had been set poor by the Korean government. But they are not reflecting the current health care environment. This is threatening the survival of the occupational therapy profession that is essential for rehabilitation process.
