Another way to look at the burden of OOP payments for health spending is to consider this spending as a share of total household consumption. As a share of total household consumption, out-of-pocket medical spending (excluding any spending on long-term care) accounted on average for 4.7% of the final consumption of all households in Korea in 2013. This is much higher than the average across OECD countries (2.8% on average) and more than two times greater than across G7 countries (2.1%) OECD (Figure 5.7). In Korea, the share of the costs covered by the public insurance scheme is relatively low for all health services and pharmaceuticals, and even lower for dental care. Nearly 50% of all out-of-pocket spending for health care in Korea (excluding long-term care) is related to curative care in hospital or outside hospital, about 30% is for the purchase of pharmaceuticals, and the other 20% is for dental care.
