Quality improvement and cost containment in the Dutch health insurance system Wim Groot Maastricht University & Council for Public Health and Health Care in the Netherlands Washington, March 9, 2009

Teachers Academy Aims of health insurance reforms in the Netherlands in 2006 To combine universal coverage and competition A more equal distribution of the costs of health care To improve quality of care by improving transarancy and selective contracting

Teachers Academy Health insurance reforms in the Netherlands in 2006 All residents are obliged to buy basic package of health insurance Basic package includes: general practitioner, medical specialist care hospital care, prescription drugs, maternity care, obstetrics, technical aids and dental care for children

Teachers Academy Universal access Insurers are obliged to accept every applicant Community-rated premium regardless of expected claims or pre-existing conditions Once a year individuals have the opportunity to switch health insurer

Teachers Academy Financing of health insurance 50% of total health expenditures are financed by income-related contributions These are put into Risk Equalization Fund (REF) Insurers receive payment from REF based on risk profile of insured to create level playing field Community-rated premiums cover 45% of total costs

Teachers Academy Cost to the consumer Average insurance premium is appr. $1400 per year Income related premium is 7% There is a compulsory deductible of $200 Maximum voluntary deductible is $640 For care not in basic package there is voluntary supplementary insurance

Teachers Academy Access for all Children below age of 18 are exempted for paying insurance premiums Compensation for insurance costs for people with low income 98% of population has basic package of health insurance

Teachers Academy Effects of health insurance reforms Fierce price competition among insurers Consolidation of health insurance market Development of consumer collectives as countervailing power to insurers (through employer, union, patient group, etc.) Coalitions of insurers and patient groups have emerged aimed to improve quality and patient- centred contracting of health care providers

Teachers Academy Incentives for cost control Risk Equalization Fund (and obligation to accept every consumer) has eliminated adverse selection Price competition has led to more focus on cost containment and losses for insurers Focus on selective contracting to improve quality and lower costs (quality and efficiency go together) Insurers have used market power to reduce costs of pharmaceuticals

Teachers Academy Conclusion: Health insurance reforms in the Netherlands has resulted in Price competition on health insurance market Incentive for health insurers towards cost containment More attention for quality of care in contracting of health care
