With respect to the medical expenses for victims of the fire that erupted at Formosa Fun Coast in New Taipei City on June 27, 2015, the National Health Insurance Administration (NHIA) of the Ministry of Health and Welfare and the Public Health Department of the New Taipei City Government have reached the following understanding: 
1. The medical expenses incurred by medical institutions in response to the Formosa Fun Coast fire will be handled by the NHIA under a special scheme. 
2. The medical expenses incurred by medical institutions in response to the Formosa Fun Coast fire will not be included in the global budget of each medical institution, and will be handled loosely. 
3. The patients should not be charged the expenses that are generated as a result of emergency medical treatment from June 27 to June 30 and that are not covered by the health insurance (including the expenses that should be partially paid by the patients themselves, the differences in ward fees, the costs of medical supplies for burns that should be fully paid by the patients themselves, and the treatment fees). The expenses will be first paid by the NHIA and then reimbursed by the New Taipei City Government through a subsidy scheme. 
4. The subsidies in relation to the medical treatment after the first 72 hours will be provided under other special schemes. 
5. The NHIA will inform all of the medical institutions today that the aforesaid principles should apply to all medical expenses incurred as a result of the Formosa Fun Coast fire.
