Regulatory Fees Five Years after Establishing
ŠILLEROVÁ, Veronika
Regulatory fees were launched by the Act No. 261/2007 Coll. on stabilization of public budget. Many acts were amended through this Act including the Act No. 48/1997 Coll. on public health insurance. This amendment set the obligation for the person insured or their legal representative to pay regulatory fees to the medical facility providing health care ? a practitioner, a medical facility or a pharmacy. The aim of this thesis was to summarize legal adjustment considering regulatory fees and to map citizens´ opinions of both this issue and regulatory character of fees. The author´s goal was to ascertain whether citizen´s opinions have changed in past five years since their implementation. Whether citizens became accustomed to the fees and if they understood their purpose or they would rather abolish them. Theoretical part explains the terms relating to health care and insurance industry where the particular regulatory fees are explained in detail, such as their amount and the range of people involved. The attention is paid even to cases of the regulatory fee exemption. Theoretical part also deals with the safety limit which is directly concerned with regulatory fees as well as it is explained which fees belong to this limit. The next subsection is concerned with the basic rules of providing health care in member states of the European Union. The theoretical part concludes with the description of the individual changes and amendments which regulatory fees underwent during 2008-2013. The practical part was created by the means of quantity research which was conducted through the questioning method. The questioning survey of 331 respondents among the public of South Bohemia was implemented through online questionnaire and the tangible forms. Three following hypotheses are defined on the basis of the secondary sources: Hypothesis 1: Respondents do not agree with the fee increases for a hospital stay from 60,- CZK to 100,- CZK. Hypothesis 2: From all the launched regulatory fees only the emergency service fee affects the use of health care. Hypothesis 3: Patients agree with the prescription charges. The hypotheses H1 and H3 were confirmed whereas H2 were proved false on the basis of the questionnaires. It was proved that 90,- CZK treatment fee in emergency service is not for the majority of people so high so that it would prevent them from using emergency service and therefore negatively affected the use of health care. On the contrary, it follows from the confirmed hypothesis that the cancellation of 30,-CZK fee for prescription item and the replacement for fee prescription as a whole was correct. As patients are more willing to pay a fee for prescription rather than pay for every item. The outcome of hypothesis 1 was virtually unequivocal for most of respondents do not agree with the fee increase for a one day of hospital stay. Research outcomes show the fact that in comparison with previous years not only does the acceptance of citizens about regulatory fee system gets better but also does their acceptance of citizens and citizens? willingness to pay them. There is always a group of people who are not satisfied with the current adjustment of regulatory fees. It also seems improbable to eliminate fees to affect personal and family budget. The important goals of Czech public health and responsible bodies are to set regulatory fees in the way to accomplish their regulatory objective as well as make sure fees do not limit the ability of people who end up in socially or otherwise difficult situation to use health care. The thesis may work well as an information booklet for the wide public, as a study material for the students of Health and Social Studies or as a source for comparison with future researches.

The issue of public health insurance in the Czech Republic with focus on the rights and obligations of premium payers
BLAŽKOVÁ, Zdeňka
Public health insurance system with more health insurance companies fully operates in the Czech Republic since 1 January 1993. The main task of health insurance companies is collection of health insurance premiums from premium payers and reimbursement of health care to medical facilities. Legal regulations governing public health insurance in our country have changed a lot since 1993. The basic principle of our public health insurance system is the principle of solidarity. Participation in public health insurance does not depend on the decision of a citizen, but is legally required. The fundamental rights of each insured person are the right to choose a health insurance company and the right to choose a doctor or medical facility which is under contract with health insurance company of the policy holder. The theoretical part of the thesis describes basic concepts and legal regulations of public health insurance in the Czech Republic, with the help of available literature. In more detail it deals with obligations of individual groups of health insurance premium payers to health insurance company and property sanctions which can be imposed by respective health insurance company. The objective of the practical part of this thesis was to make a survey of legal awareness of policy holders {--} premium payers about their obligations under existing legislation. Two hypotheses were set in line with this objective. Hypothesis number one assumes that university graduates are more aware of obligations of the policy holder {--} public health insurance premium payer than policy holders with lower education. Hypothesis number two assumes that policy holders under the age of 50 years are more aware of obligations of the policyholder - public health insurance premium payer than policy holders aged 50 years and over. Quantitative research, method of questioning was chosen to test the hypotheses. To collect data the questionnaire technique was used. Both hypotheses were confirmed based on research findings. Objective of the thesis has been achieved. Results of the thesis may be used to increase public awareness in this area and as a base for printing information materials for health insurance companies.

Regulatory fees in healthcare from the perspective of the public
KOLLÁROVÁ, Iva
Part of the Czech healthcare system is public health insurance and health care is paid to beneficiaries from its funds. From 1.1.2008 a new system of regulatory fees and annual protective limit forms its part. Regulatory fees were introduced by Act No. 261/2007 Coll. about stabilizing public budgets, which amended many laws, in this case also the Act No. 48/1997 Coll., about public health insurance. The reason for their introduction should be reduction of inefficiency of health care and, consequently, reduction of health care costs, reduction of misuse of health services, as well as increase in revenues of medical facilities. Funds saved should be used to improve medical care, to treat sick people and to finance expensive medical services. The objective of my thesis was to make a survey of public opinion on the introduction of regulatory fees. In the theoretical part I briefly described basic concepts relating to public health service, health policy, insurance and in detail I mentioned functioning of regulatory fees and the annual protection limit. In the practical part I used quantitative research, method of interviewing, data collection was performed using the questionnaire technique and then also secondary analysis of data. For the research section one statistical sample was established {--} the public of South Bohemia. Based on available literature I stated 2 hypotheses, both of which were confirmed by the research. Research pointed at the diversity of views and perception of regulatory fees among citizens. Citizens´ awareness certainly also affects the issue of regulatory fees, and the awareness, as revealed in the survey, has been improving compared to previous years. Regulatory fees in health care in the Czech Republic have become a most discussed topic. But this step is only the first step, unfortunately still unpopular with many people, and it should lead to step-by-step implementation of planned changes in health care. I think that compared to previous years an increasing number of citizens understand the purpose of regulatory fees and they realize that modern medicine is very expensive and that from the current health insurance system it is not always possible to grant all care to everyone. In my opinion, the introduction of regulatory fees is a very important step for our health care, but it will be necessary to improve some legal details and gain greater public trust so that the purpose that these fees should have would be reached. The thesis could serve as an information brochure, study material, or respondents´ views and the research findings could be used in other studies for comparison.

For practical part the identical questionnaire for both professional and non - professional public was used. The research group of the questionnaire investigation was formed by respondents living and working in České Budějovice.
