Out-of-pocket payments in the Czech health care system
Original language description
In comparison to other European countries it is claimed that the Czech Republic belongs to the countries with higher health care consumption, even if health status does not positively correlate with health care use. Therefore there were introduced user fees as a form of patient cost sharing to regulate health care consumption and to confront the patient with resource scarcity in the health care system as a part of health care reform package in 2008. The goal of the paper was to determine the changes inhealth care consumption after user fees implementation and evaluate their regulatory effect in a short period of time. The analysis of the changes in health care consumption was made on the basis of data from the largest health insurance company (60 % ofthe Czech population). The health care consumption was monitored according to the particular types of health care services for particular age groups in years 2007, 2008 and 2009.
