Improving the performance of social health insurance system through increasing outpatient expenditure reimbursement ratio: a quasi-experimental evaluation study from rural China
2018
Background
China has set up a universal coverage social health insurance system since the 2009 healthcare reform. Due to the inadequate funds, the social health insurance system reimbursed the inpatient expenditures with much higher ratio than outpatient expenditure. The gap in reimbursement ratios resulted in a rapid rising hospitalization rate but poor health outcomes among the Chinese population. A redistribution of social health insurance funds has become one of the main challenges for the performance of Social Health Insurance.
