| Summary: | Out-of-pocket health expenses are direct payments for assets and services made by households
related to the health sector, including the copayment, which responds to a direct contribution made by
users or their families members of part of the total cost of the health sector medical care, including
medications and diagnostic tests. The purpose of this study is to determine the economic burden of the
copayment, as an out-of-pocket expense, in the hospital care of adult and pediatric patients in a clinic in
the city of Cartagena de Indias D.T y C. By means of a treatment of the data that rest in the databases of
said clinic, it was found that the economic burden of the copayment as out-of-pocket expense of the
pediatric and adult patients of the clinic under study is quite high, as it is located in the upper percentiles,
it was also found that the families members of pediatric patients tend to have more expenses in copays
than adult patients and their families. |
