Abstract

The inpatient DPC package payment system lowers national insurance reimbursement as compared to the former fee-for-service payment system for inpatients, when an inpatient with hyperthyroidism or toxic multinodular goiter (TMNG) is admitted for 2-day radioiodine therapy. The differentials are 29,970 yen and 48,870 yen for a 2-day hospital stay for administration of 555 MBq and 925 MBq, respectively. We request the Health and Labor Ministry to newly establish the fee for 131I internal therapy for hyperthyroidism. Furthermore, the fee should be paid according to the fee-for-service payment system.
