Its goal is not only an analysis of the current legal regulation of this insurance, but also proposals for its possible development in the future. The thesis is focused on foreigners primarily for the reason that, while Czech citizens' access to health insurance is relatively unproblematic, in the case of foreigners there are many complications and obstacles. In the first chapter, the author first deals with foreigners who participate in the public health insurance system. In this part, he mainly draws attention to the inappropriate legal regulation, which concerns the access of persons to public health insurance, as well as to the imperfect formulation of the conditions of application of one of the coordination regulations. In the second chapter, on the other hand, the author focuses on foreigners who do not participate in public health insurance and must therefore conclude commercial health insurance for foreigners. The chapter on commercial health insurance for foreigners is divided into two subsections. The first deals with basic health insurance for foreigners and the second with comprehensive health insurance for foreigners. The...

Public health insurance system is compulsory for all people permanently living in the Czech Republic as well as for foreigners who work here. Insurance begins with the day of birth, with the day of obtaining permanent residence or if a foreigner who does not have a permanent residence in the area of Czech Republic, has become an employee here. Insurance expires with the citizen´s death, with the end of their permanent residence, or if the citizen without a permanent residence has ended their employment in the Czech Republic. Nowadays, there are seven health insurance companies that may pay different health services beyond paid health care from prevention funding, thus offer their clients a range of contributions. The aim of this thesis is to find out whether prevention programmes offered by individual health insurance companies differ, and whether using of the offered benefits for health support differs according to clients´gender and education, and whether the frequency of changing health insurance company depends on the client´s gender. I have created a non-standardized questionnaire with 18 questions to refute or confirm my hypotheses, and thus evaluate the aims of my thesis. Testing of my hypotheses happened via the chi-quadrat test, where I found out that using of the offered benefits (financial aid provided beyond public insurance for health support) differs according to gender, but does not differ according to the clients´ education. I have also found out that the frequency of changing health insurance company does not depend on the client´s gender. Comparing prevention programmes of different health insurance companies has made me conclude that benefits differ, and thus it is up to the client to decide at which health insurance company to insure themselves. Whether they follow the offered benefit spectre or the fact that the insurance company has entered a contract with their doctor.

This bachelor thesis compares health care system financing, private and public expenditures, quality of health care and demographic indicators in the Czech Republic and Singapore. The differences in financing between mentioned systems are based on different historical development. The Singaporean system of financing is based on individual responsibility to save money on their own health account and co-finance health care. It is possible to claim that this system is more effective because people do not abuse health care and protect their own health. The Czech system is based on solidarity. People pay according to their income and they use it as they need but it does not lead to effective use of health care and to responsibility for their own health and total health expenditures rise. However, both systems have the same function, they provide health care to all inhabitants. The Singaporean system guarantees health care to the poor by a fund (Medifund) which is financed by the government. This is a current topic for national economics because health care expenditures rise. This systems comparison could provide an impulse to improve the Czech financing system.

This paper presents an application of the Bayesian inference to estimate health care expenses by health insurance companies in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. In particular, the Bühlmann-Straub model is applied onto real data, covering time period 2010-2015, from all seven Czech and three Slovakian health insurance companies in order to calculate the credible health care costs per person and the corresponding credibility factors for each company. Computed credible health care costs per person are compared with the real estimations of health care costs per person quoted by analyzed health insurance companies. These real estimates are not available for all the Slovakian health insurance companies and two Czech health insurance companies. The results of Bühlmann-Straub model show that while the largest insurance companies can reliably predict the health care costs for the subsequent time period based on its own statistical data, the smaller companies can find out credible estimation of health care costs per person, taking into account data from all comparable healthcare insurance companies. Tento příspěvek se zabývá aplikací Bayesovského odhadu nákladů na zdravotní péči pro zdravotní pojišťovny v České a Slovenské republice. Na reálná data pro všechny české a slovenské pojišťovny z let 2010-2015 byl aplikován Bühlmannův-Straubův model, pomocí něhož byly vypočítány kredibilní náklady na zdravotní péči na jednoho pojištěnce a faktory kredibility pro každou zdravotní pojišťovnu. Vypočítané kredibilní náklady na pojištěnce byly porovnány se skutečnými odhady nákladů uváděných zdravotními pojišťovnami. Tato skutečná data nebyla k dispozici pro všechny slovenské a dvě české pojišťovny. Výsledky Bühlmannova-Straubova modelu ukazují, že zatímco velké pojišťovny mohou predikovat své náklady v následujícím období na základě vlastních statistických dat, menší pojišťovny by měly brát v úvahu i data z ostatních zdravotních pojišťoven.

The diploma aims to ascertain the opinions of diabetics on the current system of reimbursements of medical devices and medical procedures from the public health insurance. The diploma thesis is strategically divided into theoretical and practical bases. The theoretical bases are divided into three parts. The first part is focused on the disease diabetes mellitus, the second part provides a basic description of the concept of health insurance, and the third part describes the facts arising from the relationship between health insurance and diabetes, including e.g. provision and reimbursement of medical devices or medical procedures. The practical bases include the thesis objective, hypotheses, methods, research results and discussion. In order to process the data, a quantitative research strategy was used, and the data were collected by the questioning method and the questionnaire technique. The questionnaire I drew up for the diploma thesis started with the introductory page on which I introduced myself to the respondents and informed them about the purpose of the questionnaire survey, anonymity and use of the obtained data. The research set comprised the diabetics registered with a selected physician running an outpatient diabetes office. I distributed 300 questionnaires and received 248 completed questionnaires. So the rounded return rate was 82.7%. From the total number of 248 questionnaires, only 232 questionnaires could be used for the research, while 16 questionnaires were excluded because the respondents gave incomplete, inaccurate or logically incorrect answers to the questions important for the research. In order to achieve the set objective, two hypotheses were raised. The first one was: Type 1 diabetics are satisfied with the number of medical devices reimbursed from the public health insurance more than type 2 diabetics. Based on the research results, the conclusiveness of this hypothesis was found statistically significant so it was confirmed that type 1 diabetics are satisfied with the number of medical devices reimbursed from the public health insurance more than type 2 diabetics. The second hypothesis was: Type 1 diabetics are satisfied with the number of medical procedures reimbursed from the public health insurance more than type 2 diabetics. Based on the research results, the conclusiveness of this hypothesis was not found statistically significant in this case so type 1 diabetics are not satisfied with the number of medical procedures reimbursed from the public health insurance more than type 2 diabetics. The diploma thesis could be helpful in extending the knowledge of not only diabetics but also the general public. I would also be very glad if my thesis was used by health insurers as a source of information about clients covered by public health insurance, namely about people with the chronic disease diabetes mellitus. In later years, this thesis might also inspire further research in this issue.

The thesis investigates the relative cost-effectiveness of two treatment methods of Dupuytren's disease (DD) - surgical fasciectomy and injectable collagenase - and assesses the impact of the two health technologies on the budget of the Czech Republic. For this purpose, cost-minimization analysis (CMA) and budget impact analysis (BIA) are employed and, importantly, both social and medical costs are taken into consideration. Concerning the CMA, different patients are modelled with respect to personal characteristics such as occupation, type of work (manual, non-manual) and income. In the BIA, data on DD occurrence in the Czech Republic from the National Register of Hospitalised Patients (NRHOSP) are analysed. We found that collagenase is a cost-minimizing treatment for a big majority of employees and manually working SMEs. On the other hand, collagenase turned out to be more expensive than fasciectomy for most of the non-manual SMEs. All things considered, collagenase appeared to be cheaper for most of the model patients. We also discovered that if all the patients in the dataset were treated with collagenase, the Czech state budget would annually save 1,685,452 CZK. The average annual costs of fasciectomy and collagenase were 41,334,049 CZK and 39,648,597 CZK, respectively. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)
