[Asia Economy Reporter Seo So-jeong] The National Health Insurance Service (Chairman Kim Yong-ik) will start the 'Digital Notification Delivery Service' in cooperation with Naver from the 12th, allowing easy access to health insurance notification services via mobile.

The Service has been sending various health insurance notifications and notices by mail to the residents' registered addresses or addresses requested by individuals nationwide. However, paper mail, which requires significant time and cost for printing and delivery, has caused inconveniences such as subscribers not receiving mail directly due to address changes or absence, as well as issues like personal information exposure due to loss.

Accordingly, the Service established a mobile-based electronic document delivery system last month through collaboration with Naver, an authorized electronic document intermediary, in the electronic document service sector.

Starting from the 12th, the Service will begin sending 37 types of notifications in the first phase, including the 'Infant and Toddler Health Checkup Form,' and plans to sequentially expand digital conversion to a total of 715 types of paper mailings, including 219 types by December and 459 types in 2022.

Approximately 35 million health checkup-related notifications sent between March and April will be delivered as electronic documents instead of paper.

In the future, citizens will be able to use mobile devices anytime and anywhere to access the Service's electronic documents through Naver electronic documents after identity verification via Naver Certificate. This service includes checking health checkup eligibility, notifications of changes in health insurance subscriber status, inquiries about health insurance premiums and personal refund amounts, and other health insurance notification services.

For electronic documents with expiration dates, the Service has prepared to allow viewing of electronic documents through Naver notification services and mobile carrier text notifications (MMS) three hours before expiration.

An official from the National Health Insurance Service said, "We will continue to strive to enable citizens to easily access the Service's electronic documents anytime and anywhere via mobile, and to provide timely health insurance notifications and notices in line with the realization of paperless administration and electronic government."
