Medical aid (MA) in South Korea, a national public assistance scheme, provides minimum medical security for low-income families. The Korean government has adopted a case management (CM) programme to control MA beneficiaries' inappropriate medical use and enhance beneficiaries' quality of life. This study aimed to explore case managers' experiences of implementing CM for MA beneficiaries' potential barriers. This study employed a qualitative phenomenological tradition using focus-group interviews. Three focus groups with 19 MA case managers were conducted (July to August 2018) using semistructured interview questions. Data were analysed through qualitative content analysis using the NVivo software programme, followed by consensus meetings between researchers. Participants perceived the structural barriers to CM implementation as a contradictory MA system, lack of communication among government departments and CM guidelines not reflecting reality. To improve case managers' experiences concerning MA beneficiaries, policy solutions and a collaborative environment with beneficiaries, public nurses and social service providers are needed to ensure the workforce's sustainability. Also, it is required to develop practical guidelines that reflect the reality of implementing CM
