Home/Taiwanese Mandarin/All pairs/健保 vs 医保
health insurance · Preferred written form
Preferred written form The two preferred forms differ by a single character. In Taiwan the standard term is 健保; on the Mainland it is 医保 - both point at “health insurance”.
Taiwan’s Ministry of Education dictionaries record 健保、醫保 for this concept. The Mainland standard is among them - the difference is which form each side makes the default.
Neither term carries an HSK or TOCFL level in this table - this pair is dictionary-recorded, not syllabus-derived.
