ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE@#To explore the level and influential factors for out-of-pocket (OOP) expenditure regarding Hunan Provincial Urban Employee Basic Medical Insurance (UEBMI) and to provide evidence for improvement of medical insurance payment system.
@*METHODS@#Stratified random sampling method was used to obtain 10 527 records of cancer inpatients from January 2011 to December 2014. Social demographic and expenditure information were collected from UEBMI information system. The proportion of OOP expenditure for inpatient and each part of the cost was described. Multiple linear regression was used to analyze main related factors of OOP expenditure.

The main related factors for OOP expenditure were age, civil servant, retirment status, hospital level, cost of hospitalization, hospitalization duration, medicine cost, proportion of general medical service charges, treatment cost, expenses of examination and laboratory test, and cancer type.
