 2 minor   Health expenditure (as a share of total expenditure) - Cost-sharing with third-party payers       Health expenditure in cost-sharing with third-party payers divided by the total health expenditure, expressed as a percentage. Includes the share of the cost of health care services covered by the scheme. _Treatment of cost-sharing_ There are three components of coverage by a third-party financing scheme (insurance or government scheme): population coverage, the service package covered and the share of the costs of the given services covered by the scheme. Cost-sharing by the patients should be considered as a component of out-of-pocket payment and should not be considered as expenditure by a third-party financing scheme. The concept, the monitoring and the assessment of financial protection require a clear distinction between the share of the costs covered by compulsory insurance (or a government scheme) and the share of the costs paid by the patients. Obviously, a high level of cost-sharing by the patients jeopardises financial protection. Thomson and Mossialos (2009) emphasised that: “Several countries have made efforts to expand population coverage ... However, the scope and depth of coverage are as important as its universality, and the trend in some countries to lower scope and depth undermines financial protection” (p. xxi). Voluntary insurance may reimburse cost-sharing by the patient. This case should be treated similarly to the case when voluntary insurance reimburses the bill of a service not covered by compulsory insurance. The payment is considered expenditure by the voluntary insurance. Consequently, the part of cost-sharing reimbursed by voluntary insurance should be accounted as expenditure by voluntary insurance, and should not be considered as OOP payment by the households. This treatment ensures that a proper picture of financial protection is provided. It should, however, be noted that the characteristics of the coverage by the government scheme or insurance determine the household cost-sharing, which is a component of household out-of-pocket payment (OOP). The full cost of the services or goods concerned accounts for its two payer components: the third-party payer and the OOP. As the full costs of the services or goods concerned are also important information, the following memorandum items are included in the classification: government schemes and compulsory contributory health insurance schemes, together with cost-sharing (HF.1+HF.3.2.1); and Voluntary health insurance schemes, together with cost-sharing (HF.2+HF.3.2.2).
