dc.description.abstractObjectives: Out-of-pocket spent (OPS) of health services are considered inefficient and are a consequence of inequalities in financing and access. The main objective of this study was to compare OPS on health and medicine, including catastrophic expenditure, overall and by quintiles and deciles, for the great Santiago city in the periods 1997, 2007 and 2012. Methods: Cross-sectional study based on household budget surveys 1997, 2007 and 2012. OPS on health and medicine for households of the great Santiago was estimated overall and for different quintiles and deciles. In addition, the probability of incurring in catastrophic due to health and drug expenditure were also estimated. Results: OPS showed a progressive increase in the three periods. Drug spending showed a decrease concentrated in the lower deciles and an increase in top deciles of expenditure. Catastrophic drug expenditure decreased progressively. By observing the catastrophic drug spending by deciles were the three richest deciles which showed a large increase between 2007 and 2012. Conclusions: OPS on health remained high between 2007 and 2012, despite presenting slight decreases in some quintiles and deciles. However, drug coverage improved over time. This study demonstrates that improvements are needed in the financial protection mechanisms on health in Chile, especially for poorer quintiles and deciles.es
