According to the BNHI website, medical centers most frequently ask patients to pay out of pocket for IV drips. Other common items include disposable medical products (e.g. single-use ear-temperature-gun sheaths, enema syringes, catheters, and drainage bags), patient-controlled administration of analgesics, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, and PET scans.
另根據健保局在網站上的公告顯示，醫療院所經常要求民眾自費的項目中，「大量點滴注射」名列榜首，此外，一般醫療耗材（個人可拋棄式的耳溫槍專用膠套、灌腸器、導尿管、引流袋等等）、病患自控式止痛藥、高壓氧治療、正子斷層掃瞄等，也都榜上有名。
