National Health Insurance (NHI)

Taiwan’s NHI covers all citizens and foreign residents. For benefits, limitations, and terms of coverage information, visit the NHI website. 

NHI provides comprehensive coverage for regular outpatient and inpatient medical care and examinations (including dental) with a small copayment incurred by the patient to be paid at the time of service. 

Rates & Terms of Coverage

During your enrollment at NCCU, the university will handle your NHI payments, charging each student NTD4,956 each semester for six months of coverage as part of your tuition fees.

Eligibility

To qualify for NHI, you must have been resident in Taiwan for six continuous months (with no more than 30 days and only once out of Taiwan during the period). Therefore, to bridge this six month gap before you qualify for NHI, you must arrange at least six months of private international medical coverage in your home country prior to arrival.

For the students who enter Taiwan on a Resident Visa, the six month qualification period begins upon your date of arrival. For students who enter Taiwan on a Visitor Visa, the six month period begins from the date you change to a Resident Visa. 

If you are already covered by NHI through an organization other than NCCU, please contact the OIC to switch your coverage over to NCCU.

Application Procedures

1. Submit your ARC to OIC to begin your NHI application. You will be notified by email when your eligibility date draws near.
2. When your NHI coverage start draws near, OIC will notify you by email to submit a passport-sized photo and a scan/photo of your Alien Residence Certificate (ARC) (front side only) to changhm@nccu.edu.tw. You will be notified by email when to pick up your NHI card at the OIC (usually about ten days).

NHI Fee Payments

Once you qualify for NHI, NCCU will include a charge of NTD4,956 NHI fee in your semester tuition fees, and this charge will appear in your second semester fee statement. A similar charge will be included in each semester’s tuition fees thereafter as long as you remain covered by NHI through NCCU.

If you leave NCCU prior to the last month of your current NHI coverage period, you will be refunded NTD826 per month unused. This refund will be remitted to the bank/postal account on record.
