The Korea Health Panel Survey(KHP) is a nationally representative survey on healthcare utilization and expenditures for the Korean population. The KHP began in 2008 and has been administered by a consortium between the Korea Institute for Health and Social Affairs(KIHASA) and the National Health Insurance Service (NHIS). The KHP provides not only information on healthcare utilization and expenditures but also insights into various factors affecting health care use, such as socioeconomic characteristics, comorbidities, and health behaviors.
This report includes descriptive statistics on comorbidities, healthcare utilization and expenditures, patient experiences, unmet healthcare needs, and health behaviors of 11,811 individuals from 5,505 households in 2022. It provides empirical evidence to better understand healthcare utilization and expenditures among the Korean population.
