RESUMEN
OBJETIVO. Documentar los procesos operativos y de gestión del Fondo de Protección contra Gastos Catastróficos (FPGC), evolución y distribución del gasto y explorar semejanza entre padecimientos cubiertos y perfil epidemiológico. MATERIAL Y MÉTODOS. Estudio mixto, de naturaleza gerencial, que incluyó entrevistas semiestructuradas, revisión de bases de datos de la Comisión Nacional de Protección Social en Salud (CNPSS), egresos hospitalarios y mortalidad. RESULTADOS. El 52 por ciento de los estados tardan el doble del tiempo establecido para notificar y validar los casos. De 2004 a 2009 el FPGC pasó de 6 a 49 intervenciones, equivalente a un incremento nominal y real del gasto de 2 306.4 y 1 659.3 por ciento, respectivamente. La intervención priorizada fue VIH/SIDA con 39.3 por ciento; el Distrito Federal obtuvo la mayor proporción del gasto (25.1 por ciento). Algunas de las principales causas de mortalidad son cubiertas por el FPGC. CONCLUSIONES. La revisión de los criterios de inclusión de enfermedades y la adecuación del fondo para atender la demanda creciente es impostergable.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE. To document the status of operational and managerial processes of the Fund for Protection against Catastrophic Expenses (FPGC), as well as to describe its evolution, and to explore the relationship between covered diseases and the Mexican health profile. MATERIAL AND METHODS. This is a joint management study, which included a qualitative and a quantitative phase. We conducted semi-structured interviews with key informants. We also analyzed the records of CNPSS, the hospital discharge and mortality data bases. RESULTS. Fifty two percent of the states take twice as long to report and validate the cases. From 2004-2009 the FPGC increased its coverage from 6 to 49 interventions, that means a spending increase of 2 306.4 percent in nominal terms and 1 659.3 percent in real terms. The HIV/AIDS was the intervention prioritized with 39.3 percent and Mexico City had the highest proportion of expenditure (25.1 percent). A few diseases included in the health profile are covered by the FPGC. CONCLUSIONS. The review of the inclusion criteria of diseases is urgent, so as to cover diseases of epidemiological importance.
