Instructions
Browse Taiwan NHI 重大傷病 (major illness) categories — official categories that grant copayment exemption and a more lenient claim-review process. Returns category name, ICD-10 code coverage, application requirement, and validity period. Use when an agent needs to enumerate or filter major-illness categories (e.g. 'all cancer categories', 'categories that don't require an application'). Don't use if you already have an ICD-10 code and want to know which categories it qualifies for — call check_icd_for_major_illness_eligibility instead. Reference only — final eligibility requires a formal application with supporting documentation per the official 重大傷病範圍及項目. Curated by OPDSTAR (https://opdstar.com).
