 2 minor   Health expenditure per capita - Voluntary health care payment schemes       Health expenditure in voluntary health care payment schemes divided by population. Includes domestic pre-paid financing schemes under which the access to health services is at the discretion of private actors. This category includes all domestic pre-paid health care financing schemes under which the access to health services is at the discretion of private actors (though this “discretion” can and often is influenced by government laws and regulations). Included are: voluntary health insurance, NPISH financing schemes and Enterprise financing schemes. The term “compulsory scheme” refers to schemes where membership is made compulsory by the government (by law). All other schemes are considered voluntary. For instance, an employer can decide to have a group insurance for all its employees: this is considered as voluntary insurance, although for each employee participation in the insurance can be imposed by the employer. There is one important difference between these schemes and household OOP payments that is of critical policy-relevance: the presence or absence of inter-personal and/ or inter-temporal pooling, which is also reflected in the separation between the time of payment and the time of service use. In the case of OOP payments, households must pay the whole or part of the cost of care at the time of care delivery. OOP expenditures show the direct financial burden of medical care for the household, which may have a catastrophic effect on its financial situation. This justifies a separate first-digit level category for voluntary private schemes (other than OOPs) and Out-of-pocket payments.
