Taiwan’s national health insurance program will expand its coverage to include the cost of duodenal stents for patients with gastric, biliary, pancreatic, and duodenal cancers starting from Dec. 2023. This change is expected to benefit 242 patients annually, according to the National Health Insurance Administration (NHIA). Previously, patients had to pay out-of-pocket for duodenal stents, which cost between NT＄60,000 to NT＄80,000.
