 2 minor   Health expenditure - Rest of the world financing schemes (non-resident)       Health expenditure in rest of the world financing schemes (non-resident). Includes financial arrangements involving institutional units that are resident abroad, but who collect, pool resources and purchase health care goods and services on behalf of residents, without transiting their funds through a resident scheme. This item comprises financial arrangements involving institutional units (or managed by institutional units) that are resident abroad, but who collect, pool resources and purchase health care goods and services on behalf of residents, without transiting their funds through a resident scheme. For example, a person resident in country A can buy a voluntary insurance in country B and can use that insurance to pay for services in either Country A or B. US citizens of Mexican origin, for instance, may buy health insurance in Mexico that gives them emergency cover in the United States but pays for elective treatment in Mexico. A resident scheme has the predominant economic interest in the country for which the accounts are drawn up. It has a physical presence in the country and is under the jurisdiction of the local government (e.g. compulsory reporting activities). Non-resident (RoW) schemes may also operate in the country for which the health accounts are produced, but these schemes originate with and are controlled by agencies subject to foreign government jurisdiction, including, for example, aid agencies and military agencies. Rest of the world financing arrangements are defined according to the following characteristics: - Mode of participation: 1) mandatory, e.g. based on the conditions of employment (such as foreign insurance), or 2) voluntary; - Basis for entitlement: 1) a contract between an insurance carrier and the individual, or 2) discretion of a private entity (charity foundation, employer, foreign entity); - Method for fundraising: funds are collected and pooled abroad; - Coverage: foreign entities usually have the freedom to design the benefits. Note that the rest of the world usually contributes to the financing of health care in the example of a typical model economy, as international aid and other flows, by channelling the funds via government or resident NPISH agencies. This is a typical case of RoW revenue for resident financing schemes, and could thus be classified as HF.1 or HF.2 spending and RoW revenue. International agreements strive to ensure that external funding agencies work with resident health care agencies to ensure that external resources (financing revenues) are directed towards national priorities in a co-ordinated way. There is a need for reporting to national authorities and co-ordinating with national efforts to achieve that goal and foster complementary health actions. Agencies managing external funds for aid would then be acting as residents (resident units and schemes). If SHA adjusts for international aid agreements, the external resources would be recorded as external sources (revenues) and would in most cases be executed by resident schemes, grouped as NGOs and corporations. It is not always clear whether a foreign assistance programme should be accounted as i) a financing RoW source (FS), or ii) both as a financing RoW source and a financing RoW scheme. In the case of enclaves, these are non-resident units that are physically located in the host territory but have immunity from the host country laws (e.g. international organisations and embassies). When health care for the personnel of enclaves does not require any allowance or jurisdiction of the resident country, then the foreign health scheme should be classified as a RoW financing scheme (HF.4). However, an entity created by a government under the laws of another jurisdiction is a resident unit in the host jurisdiction, and not part of the general government sector in either economy (SNA 2008, 26.43). Thus, a foreign aid programme set up by an external aid organisation to handle resources in a foreign country is to be considered as a resident NGO or corporation in that country. Foreign assistance may be given for a specific purpose (e.g. an AIDS programme), and a separate organisation, also part of the foreign entity, may be established to manage the fund, which is not necessarily involved in the provision of the service. When the scheme is part of a global or multinational entity but is operated in the country as a “branch”, it is considered resident, e.g. an insurance agency having a local setting is resident. The key feature is that it shares permanent economic interests with local entities, as well as a physical presence; individual accounting and linkages to the rules of local governments, such as reporting, are also features of resident schemes. However, when the scheme cannot be differentiated as a specific “branch” but is kept as a unique scheme because it is run as an indivisible operation with no separate accounts, then it is treated as a RoW scheme. The value of multinational schemes reported as RoW schemes cannot be taken as the entirety of multinational schemes, but would be based prorata on the volume of activity in the country.
