Abstract Background: Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) attaches importance to the philosophy of holism and disease prevention. Meanwhile, costs arising from TCM diagnosis and treatment services are relatively low. Such features cater to the needs of less developed countries and regions to increase the equity and accessibility of medical services and to save basic medical insurance funds. However, China’s current payment system for basic medical insurance fails to fully regard these features, thus unable to incent the demand for and supply of TCM services. Methods: Based on the analysis of the features or rather the advantages of TCM, the article, taking Shaanxi Province located in central China as an example, studies the status quo of economic development, coverage of TCM diagnosis and treatment services by basic medical insurance, implementation of payment methods for basic medical insurance in TCM medical institutions, and aims to explore the reformation of payment methods for basic medical insurance. Results: Statistics have shown that the economic power of Shaanxi Province is below average in China, as a result of which, Shaanxi Province is confronted with a general lack of basic medical insurance fund. On the other hand, the present payment methods for basic medical insurance fail to accommodate the features of TCM. Besides, only a very limited number of TCM medical institutions, service items and medicines are covered by basic medical insurance. Consequently, the advantages of TCM are not exploited to the full in a country that has always treasured TCM. Therefore, reformation in payment methods is pressing. Conclusion: In view of the economic and social development of Shaanxi Province, this article proposes to reform the payment methods for basic medical insurance by introducing a new medicinal-effect-based payment method to accommodate TCM. This payment method has the following four features. Firstly, it advocates strengthening process supervision of diagnosis and treatment activities in medical institutions, establishing a rating system for therapeutic or prophylactic effects, and implementing a reward and punishment mechanism accordingly. Secondly, special audit standards for TCM services shall be determined by the health care department of the people’s government together with the relevant TCM administrative department, more TCM institutions, service items and medicines shall be covered by basic medical insurance, and the negotiation mechanism with medical insurance institutions shall be adjusted. Thirdly, in pricing the fees and standards for TCM services, the price control administrations of the people’s government shall consult TCM experts, and dynamic price adjustments based on costs and professional technical values shall be made. Last but not least, outpatient diagnosis and treatment services shall be covered by basic medical insurance fund, a practice which will not only give full play to the advantages TCM services, but also help reduce the financial burden on patients and save medical insurance funds.

Τhe funding impasse and the operational malfunction of the new organization (EOPOYY) in 2011 necessitated the provision for an exemption from this rule, applicable to health insurance funds which could prove their sustainability outside EOPYY. The objective of this paper is to assess the feasibility and viability of the creation of an independent health insurance fund for<br />employees of the banking sector, which would operate as a private entity and would not burden the state budget with its deficits. The paper aims to develop a paradigm for further analyses as we move towards the establishment of a new, national, health insurance structure.

Abstract Background With the rapid growth of the ageing population, the operating burden of China’s basic medical insurance fund is becoming increasingly heavy. To counter rapid population ageing and ameliorate a series of problems, China has adjusted its fertility policies several times. On January 1, 2016, the universal two-child policy was implemented. This study analysed the impacts of the adjustment to the fertility policy and potential improvements in fertility intention on the insured population and medical insurance fund sustainability. Methods We used an actuarial science method and took the urban and rural residents’ basic medical insurance (URRBMI) of China, which covers most urban and rural residents, as an example to build a dynamic forecast model of population growth and a dynamic actuarial model of medical insurance funds. Results Compared with the original policy, under the current fertility intention (40%) with the universal two-child policy, the ageing of the population structure of URRBMI participants will decline significantly after 2026, and individuals aged 65 and over will account for only 19.01% of the total participants in 2050. The occurrence of the current deficit and accumulated deficit of the URRBMI fund will be postponed for one year to 2022 and 2028, respectively. If fertility intentions continue to rise, the ageing degree of the population structure will decrease, and the deficit would be further delayed. Conclusions The universal two-child policy is conducive to improving the degree of overall population ageing, delaying the occurrence of a URRBMI fund deficit, and improving the sustainability of URRBMI funds. If fertility intention increases, the effects would be stronger. However, since the adjustment of the universal two-child policy has a certain time lag, it will take time to demonstrate this impact. Therefore, while actively promoting the universal two-child policy, other measures should be taken, such as improving the fertility desire among couples of childbearing age and reforming medical insurance payment methods.

Abstract Background:Due to the irrational structure of medical and health resources, uneven distribution, and low level of grassroots services, traditional medical insurance payment methods in China’s underdeveloped areas have not been fully utilized in regulating medical service behaviors and guiding the allocation of medical resources. The medical insurance fund of many regions collapsed, the fund balance rate and compensation rate decreased year by year, and the medical expenses rose rapidly, which seriously affected the enthusiasm of the insured residents. As a results,the sustainable development of the medical insurance fund faced many difficulties and challenges.Based on this, we want to design a medical insurance policy suitable for underdeveloped areas in China to improve the capacity and efficiency of health services and maintain the stability of medical insurance funds.Methods:Collected medical insurance data of Y County in China from 2018 to 2019.The interruption time series(ITS) was used to evaluate the utilization of medical insurance funds in county-level hospitals, primary health service centers, and hospitals outside the medical community.Results:Inpatient expenditure(IE) per capita,out-of-pocket inpatient expenditure(OIE) per capita,and medical insurance expenditure (MIE)per capita in county-level hospitals increased by 84.682, 6.564 and 62.302 yuan per month respectively after the reform; Number of annul discharges persons(NOADP)from basic health service centers increased by 36.899 per month after the reform; IE per capita and MIE per capita increased by 18.624 yuan and 15.767 yuan per month on average after the reform; the residents hospitalized outside CCMC decreased by 9.545 per month on average after the reform. Conclusions:China should further implement the CCMC-based TMIPPM reform to control medical expenses and maintain the stability of medical insurance funds in in more trials.

Introduction. The current practice of functioning of the medical sector shows the existence of problems that impede the introduction of compulsory health insurance in Ukraine, the effective development of its voluntary form. At the same time, the problems of development of medical insurance under the influence of crisis phenomena of the national economy are deepening. The purpose of the article is to develop recommendations for improving medical reform in Ukraine. Results. The most controversial moment in the reform of health care was the rejection of free medicine, the right to which is enshrined in the Constitution of Ukraine. However, budget medicine in Ukraine will still remain, however, in what volumes and at what stages of provision of medical services or medical care is not yet defined in the Ministry of Health of Ukraine. The negative trend of the contracted health model is the creation of an authorized body that will not only implement health policy but, in fact, formulate this policy: to define state guarantees, needs for medical services and to check the quality of these services. And this is a huge threat, because Ukrainian medicine will be in a worse situation than it is now. We believe that the policy-making function should remain under the Ministry of Health of Ukraine. The negative aspect of modern medical reform in Ukraine is the lack of requirements for the formation of medical treatment protocols. This can be explained by the fact that patients will continue to prescribe treatment that is untrue. Instead, for the health insurance, the insurance company would monitor costs and control the appointment of treatment for the patient, the price of medical services. In this context, we propose to adopt the Law of Ukraine “On Compulsory Health Insurance”, which stipulates and clearly defines the rights and obligations of the insurer, the insurer, the list of services, their price, a single register of insured persons, the formation of the Social Health Insurance Fund and a differentiated approach to categories of the population. Conclusions. The experience of developed countries of the world proves that achieving this goal is possible through the introduction of insurance medicine. Insurance medicine is a real alternative to budget financing, which is no longer capable of ensuring the constitutional right of citizens to receive unpaid health care. The development of health insurance is an objective need, which is dictated by the need to ensure that healthcare receives funds. At the moment, the study of the question of the necessity of introducing compulsory health insurance is probably very relevant to all. Successful market reforms in Ukraine are impossible without the formation of an effectively organized health insurance market that can guarantee the preservation and strengthening of human health, improving the quality of medical services and the level of human life.

Local governments are responsible for the management of social medical insurance for urban and rural residents in China. Under the background of fiscal decentralization between the central government and local governments, the strengthening of supervision on medical insurance funds by local governments leads to a reduction in the expenditure of the medical insurance fund, which contributes to its sustainability. By employing the provincial level panel data during 2004–2014, we used a fixed effect model and a spatial autoregression model to investigate whether fiscal decentralization has had a negative influence on the expenditure of China’s new rural cooperative medical system (NCMS) fund. We found that fiscal decentralization has had a significant influence over its per capita expenditure. Our results also indicate that higher fiscal decentralization leads to higher financial aid in the NCMS provided by local governments. Additionally, the expenditure of the NCMS and the local financial aid are influenced by nearby governments. Our results suggest that appropriate fiscal decentralization, which helps to maintain the sustainability of social medical insurance funds, should be encouraged.

The article touches upon the problem of financing health care in the world today, which is carried out mainly at the expense of budget funds, employers, population and enterprises in different proportions. The share of each of these sources in the total amount of funds allocated by society to health care determines the model of financing this economic sector. The budget model of financing the health care does not fully cover the needs of the population in the guaranteed volume of free medical care. In recent years, such sources as direct payment for medical services and voluntary health insurance programs have brought a certain amount of money to the Russian health care system. The conducted analysis of the financial support of the health care system in Russia proved that the cost of the program of state guarantees increases throughout the whole period. Means of compulsory medical insurance as well as budgetary allocations of the entities of the Russian Federation are used to finance the program of State guarantees. The volume of compulsory health insurance funds is increasing, the growth rate of compulsory health insurance in 2017 outpaced the rate assigned by the program. In 2016 revenue growth and spending cuts brought the Federal Fund of compulsory medical insurance to a deficit-free budget, but in 2017 the growth of spending outpaced revenue growth, which leads to a deficit. There can be seen the positive dynamics of growth rates of insurance premiums for voluntary health insurance. Currently, underfunding of territorial programs is compensated by the population independently through the use of voluntary health insurance and paid medical services. The main objective of the further transformation of compulsory medical insurance system is stated to increase the volume of financing of the system. In the process of adjusting state obligations the deficit of financial provision of territorial programs of state guarantees should be taken into account, which has already been redistributed due to its insecurity, but without legislative consolidation. The reserve of redistribution will be the increase in payments under contracts of voluntary medical insurance and funds received by medical organizations from the provision of paid medical services.

The article deals with the issues of functioning of the social insurance institution, the organizational-legal and financial forms of which are presented by the state extrabudgetary social funds - Pension Fund of Russia, Mandatory Social Insurance Fund and Mandatory Health Insurance Fund. It considers the main characteristics of social insurance: a) scope of covering the employed population by insurance protection; b) contribution rates as related to wages; c) level of protection of population incomes (pensions and benefits as related to wages and subsistence minimum); d) availability of quality medical assistance and rehabilitation services. There are analyzed the present social risks and problems of the RF insurance system. The main problem is that the amount of financial expenditures on all types of social insurance per beneficiary is about half that of most developed and developing countries. The primary cause is lacking motivation of both employees and employers to participate in the mandatory social insurance and to legalize their earnings. In the conclusion there are formulated a number of proposals for improvement of the institution of social insurance in Russia. It is proposed to expand the range of insurance cases concerning unemployment insurance and care for elderly people, to increase the total amount of compulsory contributions to extrabudgetary insurance funds from 30.2% up to 42.5% from three sources - employees, employers and the state.
