RSBY suffered from a static financial coverage cap, low enrollment, inequitable service supply, utilization, etc. PMJAY expanded coverage and mitigated some of RSBY's drawbacks. Investigating equity in PMJAY's supply and utilization across geography, sex, age, social groups, and healthcare sectors depicts several systemic skews. Kerala and Himachal Pradesh with low poverty and disease burden use more services. Males are more likely to seek care under PMJAY than females.

We propose a two-dimensional rating of the spending categories often available in household budget survey data where we consider the requirement to pay for necessary healthcare as one dimension and the incentive to pay extra for additional services, higher quality options or more convenience as a second dimension to assess the distortionary potential of higher spending for additional healthcare or higher quality options.MethodsWe use three waves of a large German Household Budget Survey and decompose the Kakwani-index of total out-of-pocket healthcare spending into contributions of the eleven spending categories available in our data, across which user charge regulations vary considerably. We compute and decompose Kakwani-indexes for the different spending categories to compare the degrees of regressiveness across them.ResultsThe results suggest that categories with higher incentives for additional spending exhibit smaller contributions to the overall regressive effect of total out-of-pocket spending than categories where spending is presumably mostly on necessary and effective care.ConclusionsAssessing the consumer choice potential of different spending categories is important because extra spending among the better-off may outweigh necessary spending in aggregate expenditure data, and may also hint at potential inequalities in the quality of provided healthcare.}, keywords = {Germany; health insurance; policy analysis; Kakwani index; consumer choice; Decomposition analysis; Out-of-pocket spending on health}, year = {2023}, eissn = {1475-9276} } @article{MTMT:33071387, title = {Exploring heterogeneity of national health insurance scheme enrolment among persons in the informal sector}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/33071387}, author = {Sekyi, Samuel and Domanban, Paul B. and Agbenyo, Fauster}, doi = {10.1002/hpm.3557}, journal-iso = {INT J HEALTH PLAN M}, journal = {INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF HEALTH PLANNING AND MANAGEMENT}, unique-id = {33071387}, issn = {0749-6753}, year = {2022}, eissn = {1099-1751}, orcid-numbers = {Sekyi, Samuel/0000-0002-6693-2498} } @article{MTMT:31893763, title = {Self-Reported Waiting Times for Outpatient Health Care Services in Hungary: Results of a Cross-Sectional Survey on a National Representative Sample}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/31893763}, author = {Brito Fernandes, Óscar and Lucevic, Armin and Péntek, Márta and Kringos, Dionne and Klazinga, Niek and Gulácsi, László and Zrubka, Zsombor and Baji, Petra}, doi = {10.3390/ijerph18052213}, journal-iso = {INT J ENV RES PUB HE}, journal = {INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH}, volume = {18}, unique-id = {31893763}, issn = {1661-7827}, year = {2021}, eissn = {1660-4601}, orcid-numbers = {Zrubka, Zsombor/0000-0002-1992-6087; Baji, Petra/0000-0003-2899-8557} } @article{MTMT:32352269, title = {Strategies for reducing out of pocket payments in the health system: a scoping review}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/32352269}, author = {Jalali, Faride Sadat and Bikineh, Parisa and Delavari, Sajad}, doi = {10.1186/s12962-021-00301-8}, journal-iso = {COST EFFECT RESOUR A}, journal = {Cost Effectiveness and Resource Allocation}, volume = {19}, unique-id = {32352269}, issn = {1478-7547}, abstract = {Background Direct out-of-pocket payments (OOP) are among the most important financing mechanisms in many health systems, especially in developing countries, adversely affecting equality and leading vulnerable groups to poverty. Therefore, this scoping review study was conducted to identify the strategies involving OOP reduction in health systems. Methods Articles published in English on strategies related to out-of-pocket payments were Searched and retrieved in the Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed, and Embase databases between January 2000 and November 2020, following PRISMA guidelines. As a result, 3710 papers were retrieved initially, and 40 were selected for full-text assessment. Results Out of 40 papers included, 22 (55%) and 18 (45%) of the study were conducted in developing and developed countries, respectively. The strategies were divided into four categories based on health system functions: health system stewardship, creating resources, health financing mechanisms, and delivering health services.As well, developing and developed countries applied different types of strategies to reduce OOP. Conclusion The present review identified some strategies that affect the OOP payments According to the health system functions framework.

Objectives: The objective of this review is to summarize concepts, frameworks, and approaches used to identify corruption risks and consequences of corruption on health systems and outcomes. We also inventory interventions to fight corruption and increase transparency and accountability. Methods: We performed a critical review based on a systematic search of literature in PubMed and Web of Science and reviewed background papers and presentations from two international technical meetings on the topic of anti-corruption and health. We identified concepts, frameworks and approaches and summarized updated evidence of types and causes corruption in the health sector. Results: Corruption, or the abuse of power for private gain, in health systems includes bribes and kickbacks, embezzlement, fraud, political influence/nepotism and informal payments, among other behaviors. Drivers of corruption include individual and systems level factors such as financial pressures, poorly managed conflicts of interest, and weak regulatory and enforcement systems. We identify six typologies and frameworks that model relationships influencing the scope and seriousness of corruption, and show how anti-corruption strategies such as transparency, accountability, and civic participation can affect corruption risk. Little research exists on the effectiveness of anti-corruption measures; however, interventions such as community monitoring and insurance fraud control programs show promise. Conclusions: Corruption undermines the capacity of health systems to contribute to better health, economic growth and development.

Design/methodology/approach An overlapping generations model with heterogeneous agents where a person's probability of survival into old age is determined by a variable elasticity of substitution (VES) health production function with public and private expenditures as inputs is developed. Public expenditure on health is determined through a political economy process. Findings Analytical and numerical results reveal that higher substitutability between private and public expenditures at the aggregate level and a higher share of public spending in the production of health lead to higher long run wealth levels and lower inequality. In the political equilibrium, higher aggregate substitutability between public and private health expenditures is associated with more tax revenue allocated towards public health. For most parameter combinations, the political economy and welfare maximising proportions of tax revenue allocated towards public health care converge in the long run.Originality/value This paper adopts an innovative approach to exploring this issue of substitutability in health expenditures by introducing a VES health production function. In an environment where agents have heterogeneous wealth endowments, this specification enables a distinction to be made between substitutability of these expenditures at the aggregate and individual levels, which introduces a rich set of dynamics that feeds into long run outcomes and political economy results.}, keywords = {Health Expenditures; inequality; political economy; Variable elasticity of substitution; Wealth distributions}, year = {2019}, eissn = {1758-7387}, pages = {942-964} } @article{MTMT:30704301, title = {Unmet medical needs in ambulatory care in Hungary. forgone visits and medications from a representative population survey}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/30704301}, author = {Lucevic, Armin and Péntek, Márta and Kringos, Dionne and Klazinga, Niek and Gulácsi, László and Brito Fernandes, Óscar and Boncz, Imre and Baji, Petra}, doi = {10.1007/s10198-019-01063-0}, journal-iso = {EUR J HEALTH ECON}, journal = {EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF HEALTH ECONOMICS}, volume = {20}, unique-id = {30704301}, issn = {1618-7598}, abstract = {The objective of this paper is to explore unmet health care needs in Hungary in ambulatory care due to costs and difficulties in travelling, and to analyze how unmet needs relate to socio-demographic characteristics.The quantitative analysis is based on a national, representative online survey carried out in Hungary on a sample of 1000 respondents in early 2019 using a proposed set of questions developed by the OECD. We present and compare unmet medical needs in different socio-demographic groups, and we use multivariate logistic regression analysis to identify the main determinants of unmet medical needs.Among responders who had medical problems in the last 12 months, 27.3% reported forgone medical visit due to difficulties in travelling, 24.2% had unfilled prescription for medicine due to costs, 21.4% reported forgone medical visit or follow-up visit due to costs and 16.6% reported skipped medical test, treatment or other follow-up due to costs. These shares are much higher than presented previously in international databases. The logistic model indicates that respondents were significantly more likely to report unmet needs if they were women, younger or belonged to first and second income quintiles.Policy makers need to address the issue of high prevalence of forgone medical care among the Hungarian population to avoid deterioration of population health and inequalities in access.

The main objective was to assess the vertical equity of outpatient out-of-pocket payments for lymphedema patients in France. Twenty-seven centres, among which 11 secondary care hospitals and 16 primary care practices participated in this prospective national multicenter study. We measured the lymphedema-specific outpatient out-of-pocket payments over 6 months. The vertical equity of out-of-pocket payments was examined using concentration curves, the Gini coefficient for income, the Kakwani index, and the Reynolds-Smolensky index. We included 231 lymphedema patients aged 7 years or more, living in metropolitan France, and being able to use Internet and email. After voluntary health insurance reimbursement, the mean out-of-pocket payment was equal to 101.4 Euros per month, mainly due to transport (32%) and medical devices (26%). Concentration curves indicated regressivity of out-of-pocket payments. Total out-of-pocket payments represented 10.1% of the income by consumption unit for the poorest quintile and 3.5% for the wealthiest (p<0.05). The Kakwani index for out-of-pocket payments was equal to -0.18.Regarding outpatient health care, French lymphedema patients face significant and regressive out-of-pocket payments, associated with an increased risk of unmet medical needs.

Household surveys in Kyrgyzstan pointed to a perceived growth in OOP payments for outpatient medicines, including those covered by the benefits package scheme (the Additional Drug Package, ADP). The study aimed to explore the extent of co-payments for ADP-listed medicines and to explain the reasons for developments.MethodsA descriptive statistical analysis was performed on prices and volumes of prescribed ADP-listed medicines dispensed in pharmacies during 2013-2015 (1,041,777 prescriptions claimed, data provided by the Mandatory Health Insurance Fund). Additionally, data on the value and volume of imported medicines in 2013-2015 (obtained from the National Medicines Regulatory Agency) were analysed.ResultsIn 2013-2015, co-payments for medicines dispensed under the ADP grew, on average, by 22.8%. Co-payments for ADP-listed medicines amounted to around 50% of a reimbursed baseline price, but as pharmacy retail prices were not regulated, co-payments tended to be higher in practice. The increase in co-payments coincided with a reduction in the number of prescriptions dispensed (by 14%) and an increase in average amounts reimbursed per prescription in nearly all therapeutic groups (by 22%) in the study period. While the decrease in prescriptions suggests possible underuse, as patients might forego filling prescriptions due to financial restraints, the growth in average amounts reimbursed could be an indication of inefficiencies in public funding. Variation between the regions suggests regional inequity. Devaluation of the national currency was observed, and the value of imported medicines increased by nearly 20%, whereas volumes of imports remained at around the same level in 2013-2015. Thus, patients and public procurers had to pay more for the same amount of medicines.ConclusionsThe findings suggest an increase in pharmacy retail prices as the major driver for higher co-payments. The national currency devaluation contributed to the price increases, and the absence of medicine price regulation aggravated the effects of the depreciation. It is recommended that Kyrgyzstan should introduce medicine price regulation and exemptions for low-income people from co-payments to ensure a more affordable and equitable access to medicines.}, keywords = {evaluation; Transparency; equity; Pharmaceutical policy; pricing; Out-of-pocket payment; Access to medicines; affordability; co-payment; Price regulation}, year = {2019}, eissn = {1475-9276} } @article{MTMT:31133406, title = {Strategies to reduce informal payments in health systems: A systematic review}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/31133406}, author = {Zandian, H. and Esfandiari, A. and Sakha, M.A. and Takian, A.}, doi = {10.26719/emhj.19.057}, journal-iso = {EAST MEDITERRAN HEALTH J}, journal = {EASTERN MEDITERRANEAN HEALTH JOURNAL}, volume = {25}, unique-id = {31133406}, issn = {1020-3397}, abstract = {Background: Informal payment is a major barrier to universal health coverage, particularly in low and middle-income countries. Aims: The aim of this study was to determine appropriate methods to reduce informal payments in health care via a systematic review. Methods: For this systematic review, we searched the Cochrane Library, PubMed and SCOPUS covering the period 2000–2014: 10 papers which considered reduction strategies for IP were finally included in the review. Three of the authors independently extracted data and assessed the papers against inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results: Improving public awareness and measures towards changing the culture were the main policies to combat informal payment. In addition, providing additional financial support to motivate physicians and other health service providers, appropriate monitoring of legislation, and converting informal to formal payment through tailored new policies were other solutions mentioned towards reducing or removing informal payments. Conclusions: No unique strategy exists for reducing informal payments in any health system.
