Notes
No reliable share. A peer-reviewed review (Int J Environ Res Public Health 2021, PMC8067770, fetched) states that "the coverage rate of dental health insurance was 31.9%" in a 2015 study, and that implants and orthodontics were excluded from that rate, so the true insured share is lower; that coverage rate is not an out-of-pocket share and is a different basis. Need NHIS Health Insurance Coverage Rate (건강보험 보장률) detail table or OECD SHA dental out-of-pocket series.
