Medical Subject Headings (MeSH): Healthcare Financing

Healthcare financing refers to the methods and mechanisms used to pay for healthcare services. In many countries, healthcare is financed through a combination of public (government) and private sources.

There are several different approaches to healthcare financing, including:

Private insurance: In this model, individuals or employers purchase insurance policies from private insurance companies to cover the cost of healthcare services.

Public insurance: In this model, the government provides insurance coverage for all or part of the population. Examples include Medicare in the United States and the National Health Service in the United Kingdom.

Out-of-pocket payments: In this model, individuals pay for healthcare services directly, either at the time of service or through some other arrangement, such as a payment plan.

Mixed financing: In this model, healthcare is financed through a combination of public and private sources.

The specific mix of financing sources can vary by country and can have an impact on the accessibility and affordability of healthcare services. Ensuring that a healthcare system is adequately financed is important for ensuring that all individuals have access to the care they need to maintain and improve their health.
