【自2023年1月1日起，不具健保身分之非本國籍人士在台確診COVID-19，需自付確診隔離治療費用】
中央流行疫情指揮中心表示，考量國內疫情趨緩，邊境及社區防治政策穩健鬆綁，規劃自2023年1月1日起，非本國籍人士在臺期間如確診COVID-19，其確診隔離治療費用須由確診者自付。指揮中心指出，現行民眾於國內確診後隔離治療或隔離治療期間之相關醫療費用，不分國籍、或是否具健保身分，均由政府預算支應。依據監測資料顯示，本(2022)年截至11月28日止，非本國籍人士確診個案數計260,929例，占本年確定病例數3.2%，其中112例為中、重症個案。為因應入境旅客人數穩定成長，預計自2023年1月1日起(確診隔離起始日)，調整COVID-19確診隔離治療費用支付對象(以確診當下之身分別為主)：一、具中華民國國籍者(不論是否具健保身分)、具健保身分之非本國籍人士以及在臺受聘僱之外籍人士(含藍領移工、白領應聘、失聯移工、境內僱用之外籍漁工等)，其確診隔離治療期間相關費用由政府預算支應。
二、不具健保身分之非本國籍人士如於在臺期間確診，其確診隔離治療期間相關費用由個案自行負擔。
CECC explains its plan to require non-R.O.C. nationals without NHI cards who are diagnosed with COVID-19 in Taiwan to pay their medical costs during their isolation period themselves starting January 1, 2023.
On December 5, the Central Epidemic Command Center (CECC) announced that, in consideration of a steady increase in the number of inbound travelers, it plans to adjust the eligibility criteria for the government's program to cover the medical expenses of people diagnosed with COVID-19 during their isolation period (based on the nationality/National Health Insurance status at the time of diagnosis). The adjustments about eligibility, which will take effect on January 1, 2023, are listed below:
A. The government will cover the medical expenses related to isolation and treatment of R.O.C. nationals (regardless of NHI status), non-R.O.C. nationals enrolled in the NHI program, and employed foreign nationals in Taiwan (including blue-collar foreign workers, white-collar foreign workers, missing foreign workers, and foreign fishermen employed by domestic entities) during their isolation period.
B. Non-R.O.C. nationals not enrolled in the NHI program should pay their medical expenses during their isolation period if they are diagnosed with COVID-19 in Taiwan.
