Cash Benefits

Introduction: In our study, based on the data of the last 25 years, we analyzed the changes in the cash benefits paid to people with reduced working capacity, currently accounting for nearly 30% of the budget of the National Health Insurance Fund of Hungary. Aim: The purpose of our study is to compare the statistical data of the past 25 years and the changes in the legal environment. Methods: Our research was based on the data series of the National Health Insurance Fund of Hungary and the Hungarian Central Statistical Office as well as on the public finance reports of the State Audit Office of Hungary and the Ministry for National Economy. For the period under review, we analyzed the extent of the cash benefits paid to people with reduced working capacity, the measures taken to reduce these benefits, and the related legal background. In the long term, we examined the relevant dimension of the complex sociological processes in the background as well as the medical evaluation of the changed working ability. Results: In the last 25 years, benefits (annuity, retirement) paid under different denominations (disability, work ability reduction, health impairment, rehabilitation benefit) are still a decisive part of the health insurance budget (HUF 315 billion in 2016). Serious efforts have been made to replace the previously funded system of invalidity pension and annuity system, with the complex medical, occupational, and social rehabilitation, maintenance and improvement of the remaining state of health. The purpose of the measures is essentially to reduce budget expenditures and to improve the utilization of the amount paid on rehabilitation benefits. Conclusion: The sociological changes that occurred during the long period of time regrettably helped to initially increase the number of recipients of invalidity benefits, to stabilize them at a high level and to have a significant burden on the budget. This could not be counterbalanced by the rehabilitation approach of money supply either. Orv Hetil. 2019; 160(Suppl 1): 29–36.

Introduction: Dyslipidemia is a well-known cardiovascular risk factor. To achieve lipid targets patient adherence is a particularly important issue. Aim: To assess adherence and persistence to statin therapy in patients with atherosclerotic disease who participated in the MULTI Goal Attainment Problem 2013 (MULTI GAP 2013) study. Patient adherence was assessed using estimation by the physicians in charge and analysis of pick up rate of prescribed statins in 319 patients based on data of National Health Insurance Fund Administration of Hungary. Method: In the MULTI GAP 2013 study, data from standard and structured questionnaires of 1519 patients were processed. Serum lipid values of patients treated by different healthcare professionals (general practitioners, cardiologists, diabetologists, neurologists, and internists), treatment adherence of patients assessed by doctors and treatment adherence based on data of National Health Insurance Fund Administration of Hungary were analysed. Satisfaction of doctors with results of statin therapy and the relationship between the level of adherence and serum lipid values were also evaluated. Results: Considering the last seven years of survey data, the use of more effective statins became more prevalent with an about 70% increase of prescriptions of atorvastatin and rosuvastatin from 49% to 83%. Patients with LDL-cholesterol level below 2.5 mmol/l had 8 prescriptions per year. In contrast, patients who had LDL-cholesterol levels above 2.5 mmol/l had only 5.3–6.3 prescriptions per year. Patients who picked up their statins 10–12 or 7–9 times per year had significantly lower LDL-cholesterol level than those who had no or 1–3 pick up. The 100% persistence assessed by doctors was significantly lower (74%) based on data from the National Health Insurance Fund Administration of Hungary. About half of the patients were considered to display 100% adherence to lipid-lowering therapy by their doctors, while data from the National Health Insurance Fund Administration of Hungary showed only 36%. In patients with better adherence (90–100%) LDL-cholesterol levels below 2.5 mmol/l were more frequent (59.5%) compared to those with worse adherence. Satisfaction of doctors with lipid targets achieved was 69–80% in patients with total cholesterol between 4.5 and 6 mmol/l, and satisfaction with higher cholesterol values was also high (53–54%). Conclusions: The results show that doctors may overestimate patient adherence to lipid-lowering treatment. Based on data from the National Health Insurance Fund Administration of Hungary, satisfaction of doctors with high lipid level appears to be high. There is a need to optimize not only patient adherence, but adherence of doctors to lipid guidelines too.

Central Database

In the last couple of years, database analyses have become increasingly popular among clinical-epidemiological investigations. In Hungary, the National Health Insurance Fund serves as central database of all medical attendances in state departments and purchases of drug prescriptions in pharmacies. Data from in- and outpatient departments as well as those from pharmacies are regularly collected in this database which is public and accessible on request. The aim of this retrospective study was to investigate the database of the National Health Insurance Fund in order to analyze the diabetes-associated morbidity and mortality in the period of years 2001–2014. Moreover, data of therapeutic costs, features of hospitalizations and practice of antidiabetic treatment were examined. The authors report now on the method of the database analysis. It is to be hoped that the upcoming results of this investigation will add some new data to recent knowledge about diabetes care in Hungary. Orv. Hetil., 2016, 157(32), 1259–1265.

The Cost

Background: This study conducted to assess the cost effectiveness of common interventions used to control Noncommunicable diseases in south Darfur. Noncommunicable diseases are becoming an increasing public health concern due to their economic significance, and their great impact on the ability of affected individuals to contribute to their communities, and the high burden it represents on the health system. Objectives: To evaluate the role of health insurance fund in controlling Noncommunicable diseases. To assess cost effectiveness of the management of Noncommunicable disease within the National Health insurance fund system. Methods: This study is designed to use secondary data from the national health insurance fund in south Darfur, comparing the cost for the management of 3 selected Noncommunicable diseases (Hypertension, Heart disease, and Diabetes). I have reviewed the entire data of the year 2017 and compared the cost effectiveness of the currently used interventions against health promotion and coordinated approach within the national health insurance fund. Results: The 3 selected disease (Heart Disease, Hypertension and Diabetes) has significant burden on the health system, both financially and operationally. The NHIF concentrates on the management of Noncommunicable diseases without paying due attention to the importance of prevention strategies such as health promotion, community based integrated management of NCDs, and coordination among other sectors. Conclusion: To effectively reduce the financial burden of Noncommunicable disease; the NHIF needs to concentrate on prevention of Noncommunicable diseases through extensive health promotion campaigns, promotion of healthy lifestyle, and coordinated approach to controlling Noncommunicable disease.
