1.According to the National Health Insurance Act and the Regulations Governing Medical Services for Insured of the National Health Insurance Held at Correctional Facilities, when  and where inmates may seek outside medical care under escort will be determined by the correctional facility based on the medical needs of inmates and security management needs, for which inmates cannot designate on their own. Thus when an inmate has the need to seek  outside medical care, be it inpatient or outpatient services, the time and the hospital will be  determined by the correctional facility. 

2.When an inmate needs to be hospitalized outside the correctional facility, the inmate should be arranged to stay in the guarded ward. If the hospital does not have a guarded ward, the inmate should be arranged to stay in a NHI room, and the hospital may not charge the inmate additional costs for room upgrade.
