<strong>KCE</strong> reports vol. 12B Financement du sang 9<br />

2.10 PORTUGAL<br />

Hospital budgets are drawn up and allocated by the Ministry of Health. At present, public hospitals<br />

are allocated global budgets that are partly case-mix (DRG) adjusted (50% in 2002) 6,7 .<br />

Therefore, compensation of the cost of blood components for hospitals is based partially on a<br />

diagnosis-related group (DRG) refund system. Hospitals receive also a global budget of which a part<br />

is used to finance the use of blood components.<br />

Besides direct transfers from government, public hospitals also generate their own revenue from<br />

payments received from patients for special services (individual private rooms, for examp<strong>le</strong>),<br />

payments received from beneficiaries of the health subsystems d or private insurance. The health<br />

subsystems and private insurers reimburse public hospitals retrospectively on a case basis for<br />

inpatient care and ambulatory surgery, according to a DRG price list. The cost of blood components<br />

is included in this price list.<br />

2.11 SWITZERLAND<br />

The financing scheme of Swiss hospitals is highly variab<strong>le</strong> according to their status and to the canton<br />

where they are located 2 . Compulsory insurance funds pay lump sums to hospitals in order to finance<br />

their operating costs. Types of lump sums vary: daily lump sum, lump sum per case (defined by<br />

department or patient path), lump sum per AP-DRG or combination of different types. These lump<br />

sums cover blood expenses.<br />

2.12 THE NETHERLANDS<br />

Dutch hospitals do not receive a separate budget for blood components. The hospital is refunded for<br />

the cost of blood components within the limits of the approved maximum envelope per hospital. A<br />

DRG-based system will be introduced gradually 2 ; in 2005 this will influence 10% of the budget for<br />

blood components.<br />

Key messages<br />

Case-mix reimbursement systems are used in several countries. These case-mix systems cover all<br />

types of costs, including blood components. None of the countries described restricts this system to<br />

the financing of blood components.<br />

Belgium is the only country to reimburse blood components to hospitals so<strong>le</strong>ly on the basis on a fee<br />

per blood component.<br />

d Health subsystems ( subsistemas ) in Portugal are health insurance schemes for which membership is based on professional or occupational<br />

category.
