- Note
- For the 2nd phase of care benefit, the patient must present a referral slip issued by the doctor who saw the patient first. The referral slip must include the fact that the benefit beneficiary needs her 2nd phase of care benefit from a tertiary general hospital. Issuing a doctor's referral slip based on a health care delivery system enables appropriate treatment according to the doctor's decision at the 1st primary care institution; thus aiding in the effective management of medical resources. Issuing a doctor's referral slip at a patient's request is naver allowed because it is against primary purpose of the health care delivery system.
