Curative care expenditure across different comorbidity states of chronic hepatitis B: a prevalence study in Sichuan Province, China
The present study shows that a high proportion of the CCE allotted to CHB is financed by household out-of-pocket payment. This situation poses a heavy medical burden not only on individuals, but also on society. Therefore, the financing structure needs to be optimised urgently. Potential policy directions may improve the outpatient mutual aid protection mechanism.
