As an example, a hospital's outpatient clinic might have access to a total of NT $ 10,000 for reimbursement. If the hospital is allocated 100 points by the NHI program, then if 100 patients are seen each patient is worth one point. If a hospital attempts to increase revenues by treating 200 patients, each patient will be worth only 0.5 points, while the total reimbursement it receives stays fixed.
以門診為例，如果全國健保總額是一萬元，醫院看一位病人健保給付一百點，看一百位病人點值剛好等於一，但如果全國醫院總計超額看了兩百位病人，給付總額仍然不變，等於點值只有○・五。
