Analysis of outpatient medical services for correctional institution's inmates entitled to national health insurance: A prison in Taiwan.

CONCLUSION: The number of medical visits and the average medical fee increased. The medical cost of inmates is higher than the generally insured individuals. If environmental conditions in the correctional facility are improved, the consumption of medical resources will be reduced. There should be a complete therapy and medical treatment plan for mentally ill inmates for a successful return to the society after serving time. PMID: 32798032 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
