This study is aimed at evaluating the impact of China's New Cooperative Medical Scheme (NCMS) on the utilization of health service and health status. Using a large sample based on the China Health and Nutrition Survey (CHNS) data and both Instrument Variables and individual Fixed Effect methods to eliminate the potential endogeneity problem, we consistently found that being enrolled by NCMS reduces out-of-pockets expenditure of rural residents of China. There's also a weaker evidence that the enrollment increase the use of preventive health service. However, we found that Enrolled in NCMS neither improves health condition nor increases the utilization of preventive and formal health service.
