Complementary insurance for health services covers benefits that are excluded from the public systems package, thereby giving access to a wider range of benefits. Fragmentation also occurs in the few countries (Germany, Netherlands, Chile) that allow certain population groups (e.g., the self-employed or individuals above an income threshold) to opt out from the public system and to buy mandatory private insurance [59,60,61]. PubMedGoogle Scholar. Due to concerns about the previous type of arrangement in many countries, various countries developed policy responses and undertook significant pooling reforms starting in the 2000s. Figure 5.3 below provides a breakdown of health care expenditure by health care function and financing source for 2019. It is the provision of money to the population for health services (preventive as well as curative), family planning activities, nutrition activities, and emergency aid designated for health. Each of the insurance schemes thus constitutes a separate pooling agency. Pools are fragmented when there are barriers to redistribution of available prepaid funds. A system of health accounts.

Structured pluralism: towards an innovative model for health system reform in Latin America. Mathauer I, Dkhimi F. Analytical guide to assess a mixed provider payment system. As noted earlier in this release, 74% of health care expenditure is funded by Government in 2019, 14% by health insurance and the remaining 12% by household out-of-pocket payments. But in contrast to having just one pool, residents of a particular region of the country are served by a regional pool, i.e. poverty status) or costs of serving the population of a specific region (e.g. Health financing is a core function of health systems that can enable progress towards universal health coverage by improving effective service coverage and financial protection. Conversely, schemes that have voluntary membership, i.e. World Scientific Handbook of Global Health Economics and Public Policy 2016; 267309. there is no explicit purchaser-provider split. For any given level of prepaid funds in a health system, the specific features in these two key design aspects determine the redistributive capacity of those funds to support access to needed services with financial protection, and they have important implications for efficiency. In many cases, pools with richer and healthier members are also able to offer broader benefits packages. 0000005327 00000 n Hatfield (South Africa): CMS; 2016.

The purpose of pooling is to spread financial risk across the population so that no individual carries the full burden of paying for health care. Kutzin J. Countries need to focus not on generic models but on. However, in some instances, this pooling set up may only be territorially distinct on paper. Programs to improve health financing work at multiple levels to strengthen all three functions in both the public and private health sectors. 2S?dI9c{rP"=-Gsi1NU@ Health Systems in Transition.

Pooling ensures that the risk related to financing health interventions is borne by all the members of the pool and not by each contributor individually. the allocation of pooled funds to health service Health financing for UHC consists of three core functions: 1) revenue raising, i.e. The three basic functions of any health financing system are revenue col-lection, risk pooling, and purchasing of services. 2016;15:57. They also need to monitor cash on hand, businesses may be profitable but have a shortage of cash and. Many others receive poor quality of services even when they pay out-of-pocket. As the name suggests, it exists in addition to and along the other main pooling arrangements, as outlined above. However, evidence for efficiency improvement with increased market competition among purchasers is weak [25]. Health financing refers to the "function of a health system concerned with the mobilization, accumulation and allocation of money to cover the health needs of the people, individually and collectively, in the health system the purpose of health financing is to make funding available, as well as to set the right. What does health care financing mean? Fragmentation is further aggravated, as a small part of the better-off population is often enrolled in commercial voluntary health insurance, whilst a small share of people in the informal sector may enroll in voluntary community-based health insurance schemes [41, 42]. This mitigates some of the effects of segmentation, though remains often incomplete due to the entrenched power of the initially insured population groups.

Financing systems need to be specifically designed to provide all people with access to needed health services (including prevention, promotion, treatment, and rehabilitation) of sufficient quality to be effective; and to ensure that the use of these services does not expose the user to financial hardship. Int J Equity Health. Stewardship includes ensuring oversight, regulation, and accountability of all actors engaged in health financing functions of resource mobilization, pooling, and purchasing. to (5.) Second, fragmentation can weaken the potential gains from using purchasing as an instrument to influence provider behavior in countries where multiple purchasers use different payment methods and rates to pay the same providers in an uncoordinated way. 154 39 However, mandatory coverage is often not implemented because it is difficult to enforce, especially with respect to people working in the informal economy. When people have access to publicly financed coverage schemes, this VHI is duplicating. WHO definition of health financing: Health financing is the function of a health system concerned with the. Innovations in Health System Finance in Developing and Transitional Economies. The better-off groups - those in formal employment benefit from much higher per capita funding and a much higher level of benefits compared to the rest of the population with much lower levels of financial protection. In any country, prepaid health revenues may be held, i.e. The Health Financing Specialist will be based in the Abt office in Antananarivo.

Pooling ensures that the risk related to financing health interventions is borne by all the members of the pool and not by each contributor individually. PLoS ONE. OECD, World Health Organization. (Of course, fragmented pool structures will yield more dependence on OOP expenditure and thus decrease the share of prepaid funds in overall health spending). Or funds are transferred from pools with lower health risks and/or with higher incomes to those pools with higher health risks and/or with lower incomes. Today, millions of people do not access services due to the cost. In turn, this can help countries assess their pooling arrangements and contribute to identifying policy options to address fragmentation or mitigate its consequences. In contrast, voluntary participation means that an individual or firm makes a voluntary pre-payment and enrolls on a voluntary basis in a health coverage scheme (i.e. It also describes Ghana's health financing system. Cuba, with a much larger population, also has this setup, as does Sri Lanka, where financial protection performance is relatively good despite a high share of OOP [29]. startxref Inke Mathauer.

There are different classifications for finance functions, and it varies with organization types. Google Scholar. Int J Equity Health 18, 198 (2019). Risk selection negatively affects the redistributive capacity, as healthier and wealthier individuals and their contributions often end up in a different pool than poorer and sicker members with (usually) lower contributions. Innovations in health system finance in developing and transitional economies. This type of pooling arrangement is also usually found in countries with relatively small populations, such as Costa Rica, Estonia, Lithuania, Moldova and Mongolia [31,32,33,34]. Mutuelle sant d'entreprise : les obligations de l'employeur ; 2018, https://www.service-public.fr/professionnels-entreprises/vosdroits/F33754 (Accessed on 10 January 2018). Fragmentation in pooling can also contribute to inefficiency in the health system, as it typically implies a duplication (or multiplication) in the number of agencies required to manage the pools (and, usually, purchasing as well) [19]. Comprehensive policy analysis for health system reform. It is voluntary because there is no legal obligation to join a scheme, and thus the person or their employer can choose not to be part of a pool for coverage [22].

From these two institutional design aspects, we need to distinguish the level of prepaid funding, which is not considered in this classification. However, in most countries with complementary or supplementary VHI, VHI expenditure is below 10% of current health expenditure [29], and when a large part of the population has this form of VHI coverage, spillover effects are less severe [22, 53]. 0000010246 00000 n A single pool maximizes the potential for risk pooling across the whole population. PubMed Central A critical requirement of this pooling arrangement is thus the riskadjustment of the revenues that go to each insurer as a means to limit segmentation of the population into different pools based on their health risks and to address inequities in resources available across different pools [38]. Supplementary insurance, on the other hand, provides enhanced access, such as a higher level of inpatient amenities or greater user choice of providers compared to the coverage in the public system [51, 55].

It is possible to have competition across pools, i.e. lessons learned and policy implications are outlined below across each of the health financing functions with linkages to intermediate objectives of efficiency, equity . But a system with territorially distinct pools can suffer from fragmentation, if and when their population size or the territory are too small to ensure redistributive capacity, or when sub-national territories have very different levels of average per capita expenditure on health. In a well-functioning healthcare system, the financing of healthcare is defined by three key functions: (1) revenue generation, which involves the mobilization and collection of funds from different sources; (2) resource pooling, where generated revenue is accumulated to ensure availability to the population in need; and (3) the purchasing In course two, students will learn how to conduct a health impact assessment and how to assess the impacts of policies, plans and projects, as well as how that support decision-makers make choices regarding alternatives and improvements to prevent disease or injury and to actively promote health. different pools for different population groups, with explicit coverage for all; (6.)

The investments that competing insurers make to try and select preferred risks (or avoid high health risks) are inefficient from a social welfare perspective [11, 26], because the resources devoted to risk selection do not contribute to progress towards UHC, and in fact may detract from it. 2012;380(9849):125979.

Risk pooling is the spreading of the financial risk associated with the need to use and pay for health services, rather than to be fully borne by the individual who falls ill [11].The objectives of this paper are to raise the profile of pooling as a health financing policy instrument and to provide a simple classification of country pooling arrangements through which we discuss the challenges typically associated with how fragmentation manifests in each setting. 4. We also like to thank Lisa Seidelmann, Carlo Schmid Fellow and volunteer with the Department of Health Systems Governance and Financing at the time of producing this draft for her research assistance. We propose eight broad types of pooling arrangements: (1.) Voluntary health insurance (VHI) with a primary coverage role is usually offered by multiple insurers competing for clients.

Improved equity in service use and financial protection involve expanding risk pooling, and as such pooling is a policy objective in itself. Thomson S. What role for voluntary health insurance? Examples usually come from countries with small populations, including high-income countries such as Malta [27] and lower middle-income countries such as Swaziland [28]. In contrast, the public budget through the Ministry of Health offers theoretically free health services for the rest of the population. From a system point of view, there are benefits to this arrangement because these forms of VHI can fill explicit gaps in publicly funded coverage. Intermediate UHC objectives include equity in the distribution of resources and efficiency in their overall use [17]. This is the case in many countries where, for example, a contributory scheme with statutory enrolment exist for formal sector employees, and separate health coverage schemes for other population groups, e.g. Knaul FM, Gonzlez-Pier E, Gmez-Dants O, Garca-Junco D, Arreola-Ornelas H, Barraza-Llorns M, Sandoval R, Caballero F, Hernndez-Avila M, Juan M, Kershenobich D, Nigenda G, Ruelas E, Seplveda J, Tapia R, Sobern G, Chertorivski S, Frenk J. Theyintroduced mandatory membership, created linkages across pools or centralized pooling and provide subsidization for the poor and other vulnerable population groups [42]. As a consequence of this de facto voluntary arrangement, countries such as Ghana, the Philippines and Vietnam still experience inequities between the insured and uninsured population [34, 44]. Book financing refers to any mechanism that gives people the ability to pay for health care services; the two functions of financing are purchase of health insurance and payment for the services delivered to insured patients before the main insurance clauses of ACA went into effect of 2013, the main percentage of americans without health insurance . endstream endobj 155 0 obj<> endobj 156 0 obj<> endobj 157 0 obj<> endobj 158 0 obj<> endobj 159 0 obj<> endobj 160 0 obj<> endobj 161 0 obj<> endobj 162 0 obj<> endobj 163 0 obj<> endobj 164 0 obj<> endobj 165 0 obj<> endobj 166 0 obj<> endobj 167 0 obj<>stream It also had schemes for the low-income population and the elderly and a subsidized voluntary insurance program for the rest of the population.

Discussion paper. 787 0 obj <> endobj However, relevant responses to improving pooling depend on the specific nature and the broader context of the country. This article provides an overview of health financing reforms across countries in the Western Pacific Region as progress is made toward universal health coverage (UHC). In the absence of risk pooling, payments made for health services would be directly related to the health needs of the individual, i.e. Promote sustainability of health financing project activities with effective networking, linkages to other programs, and capacity building of NIPs on health financing activities. Common to these low- and middle-income country examples is that they did not manage to merge all coverage schemes into one pool due to the resistance of the formal sector employees for a unified national scheme. Taken quite literally, perhaps no country has only one single pool. management and disbursement for financing the availment of a basic minimum package and other . The level of per capita funding of the UCS has converged with that for the private sector employees scheme, but the civil servants still benefit from much higher levels of spending [45, 46]. 2007;83(23):16279.

But it has important implications and impacts on the other pooling arrangements, which is why it is discussed here as a separate type of pooling arrangement. Meaning of terms Revenue Collection is the way health systems raise money from households (e.g. While the issue of segmentation first emerged in Latin America [43], it is not limited to that region. These latter three were replaced by a new health coverage scheme that was introduced in 2002, called the Universal Coverage Scheme (UCS), as a response to growing concerns about the huge differences in level of funding per capita across the schemes and the remaining coverage gap due to the failure of the voluntary insurance to reach much of the informal sector. Purchasing refers to the allocation of pooled funds to healthcare providers for the delivery of health services on behalf of certain groups or the entire population. 201102-E 25. "Health system financing is an essential component of UHC but progress toward UHC also requires coordinated actions across the pillars of the health system with particular attention to strengthening human resources for health." Health system financing health topic The extent to which the potential redistributive and efficiency gains established by a particular pooling arrangement are realized in practice depends on its interaction and alignment with the other health financing functions of revenue raising and purchasing, including the links between pools and the service benefits and populations they cover. 2014;29:71731.

Spending wisely: buying health services for the poor. SMG 1117A.641 . Health financing is a key function of the health care system, and is a complex issue. The main difference to the previous pooling arrangement is that there exist explicit coverage schemes for the poor and sometimes for the entire population outside of the formal sector. Geneva: World Health Organization; 2017. 0000009066 00000 n <]>> Health care delivery forms the most visible function of the health system, both to patients and the general public. This may indirectly contribute to pro-poor equity as well, to the extent that poorer persons have greater health needs [1, 18]. When each level of government in a decentralized setting pools for a distinct level of health services, then it is organized in a territorially distinct way. It is important to mention that supply side financing, where the health budget flows in a vertically integrated way to service providers, constitutes a pool, and in many cases is often the largest pool in low- and middle-income countries. Each financing mechanism was analysed in respect to key functions namely, revenue generation, pooling and purchasing. Mathauer I, Kutzin J.
