[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Gwan-ju] The Korean Medical Association (KMA) announced on the 8th that on the 7th, Kim Seon-min, President of the Health Insurance Review & Assessment Service (HIRA), visited the KMA to discuss current issues including the reform of the review system.

The meeting was attended by President Kim, KMA President Lee Pil-su, and key executives from both the KMA and HIRA.

President Kim said, "I had planned to visit the KMA after President Lee's inauguration, but due to the COVID-19 situation, the visit was delayed by a year. I will communicate and cooperate more actively with the KMA, HIRA's most important partner."

President Lee expressed gratitude, saying, "I appreciate HIRA's efforts to strengthen mutual cooperation with the medical community regarding issues such as COVID-19 related medical fee claims during the pandemic," and added, "Since it was decided to temporarily restrict participation in the analysis review committee, I hope this will serve as an opportunity to restore trust between HIRA and the medical community."
