1 INEQUALITIES IN HEALTH CARE SERVICES UTILISATION IN OECD COUNTRIES Marion Devaux, OECD Health Division 2014 QICSS International Conference on Social Policy and Health Inequalities, Montreal, 9-May
2 Background (1/2) Policy objectives: reduction of inequalities in health status and equal access to health care based on need Equality and equity in health care use: Inequity: inequalities remaining after adjusting for needs for health care 2
3 Background (2/2) Evidence for inequity in health care use, especially for specialist and dentist visits, but less clear-cut for GP visits. Internatinal studies around the years 2000 (van Doorslaer & Masseria, 2004; Or et al., 2008; Bago d Uva et al., 2008), but no recent update. Evidence for inequality in preventive care Two studies aimed at gauging inequalities (Cervical cancer screening: McKinnon et al., 2011; European countries: Carrieri & Wubker, 2012) 3
4 Objective of the study 1. To update earlier results on inequity in health care use (van Doorslaer and Masseria, 2004) to extend the analysis to new preventive care services and to new OECD countries. 2. To examine inequalities in conjunction with health systems characteristics (with focus on financial barriers) 4
5 Methods Measuring inequities by income level in doctor visits by adjusting for differences in people s need for health care. Horizontal equity principle Measuring income-related inequalities in dentist visits and breast and cervical cancer screening. Concentration index to measure the degree of inequality/inequity. 5
6 Data Latest national health survey data for 19 OECD countries Doctor visits in the past 12 months Dentist visits Breast & cervical cancer screening Needs for health care Individual characteristics Income level of the household. 19 OECD countries Austria (EHIS 2006/7) Belgium (EHIS 2008) Canada 2007/08 Czech republic (EHIS 2008) Denmark 2005 Estonia (EHIS 2006/7) Finland 2009 France 2008 Germany 2009 Hungary( EHIS 2009) Ireland 2007 New Zealand Poland (EHIS 2009) Slovak republic (EHIS 2009) Slovenia (EHIS 2007) Spain 2009 Switzerland 2007 United Kingdom 2009 United States
7 GP visits in the past 12 months France Belgium New Zealand Austria Canada Slovak Republic Spain Hungary United Kingdom Ireland Czech Republic Poland Slovenia Estonia Switzerland Finland Denmark* Need-adjusted probability of a GP visit in last 12 months by income quintile (age 16-85) Lowest income quintile (*) in past 3 months in Denmark Average Highest income quintile Rates of GP visits in the past 12 months Small variations across income groups. Before need-adjustment, low-income people are more likely to see a GP in 13 of 17 countries. After need-adjustment, low-income people are as likely as high-income people to see a GP (in 8 of 17 countries). Once they go to visit a GP, low-income people are more likely to consult more often.

In countries with cancer screening programmes, services are made available to all at little or no cost Despite this, uptake varies among socioeconomic groups Often, geographic reasons such travelling distance or availability of screening facilities create many barriers Lower levels of awareness of programmes, symptoms or risks, especially among women with low incomes or from minority groups 11
12 Comparison with earlier findings Country ranking remained rather stable Size of inequality remained very stable for doctor and GP visits. Some discrepancies found for specialist (Finland) and dentist visits (Finland and Spain) mainly due to differences in survey methodology and wording of questions. 12

18 Health system features likely associated with larger inequalities Universal health coverage not achieved Large share of private financing and out-ofpocket payments Care not free at the point of delivery No gatekeeping system Mostly private provision of health care Non-existence of public screening programmes 18
19 Inequity in specialist visits Inequality in dental visits Out-of-pocket payments (OOP) A greater share of OOP is associated with greater inequity in specialist and dental care. Weak correlation possibly because countries with high OOP have introduced measures to offset the negative effects on access Belgium Canada Estonia Poland Hungary Spain R² = Belgium Finland Spain Poland Switzerland Slovenia R² = France Austria Czech Republic Finland Slovak Republic New Zealand 0 Slovenia Hungary Czech Republic Out-of-pocket payment as % of total expenditure on specialist care Out-of-pocket payment as % of total dental expenditure Source: OECD Health Working Paper No
20 Concluding remarks Update of previous work Inequities in health care utilisation persist across OECD countries For the same level of needs, the better-off are more likely to visit doctors - especially specialists and dentists - than those with lower incomes. Need for strengthening equity 20
21 Possible policy actions to strengthen equal access to care Reducing financial barriers Targeting population the most at risk (exemptions) Increasing coverage (e.g. dental and eye care) Trade-off with budgetary constraints Reducing non-financial barriers Geographic distribution of services Social dimension (education level, ethnic and language) 21
