Resumo(s)
This work assesses levels, drivers and policy implications of catastrophic health expenditures
(CHE) in Portugal in the year of 2015. Moreover by following the same
methodological approach as studies for previous years, it allows for comparison and
assessment of evolution. CHE incidence is calculated. Possible determinants of CHE
are estimated through a logistic model. A simulation of additional coverage of pharmaceutical
is presented. Main findings point to a decrease in the level of CHE from 2010
to 2015, identify elderly as the most exposed group and estimate a decrease in CHE of
up to 1pp as consequence of a higher coverage of pharmaceuticals.
