摘要

作为“健康中国2030”计划的一部分,中国政府于2016年在全国范围内实施了家庭医生政策。以往关于家庭医生在降低中国医疗支出中的作用的研究得出了不一致的结果。本研究采用来自全国各地的大样本微观调查数据,分析家庭医生合同对实际医疗和住院费用的影响。利用普通最小二乘(OLS)回归和工具变量(IV)回归,我们分析了来自2021年全国民生调查11,221名参与者的数据。OLS和IV回归结果表明,聘请家庭医生增加了实际医疗和住院费用。本研究进行了另外两项分析,以更深入地研究这一发现。机制分析显示,与家庭医生签约与增加医疗支出之间的关联是由改善医疗可及性、及时服药依从性和定期就诊介导的。此外,异质性分析表明,这种医疗支出的增加在高中及以下教育水平的居民、慢性病患者以及居住在基础设施和卫生资源较好的地区的个人中尤为明显。因此,我们的研究表明,与家庭医生签约,虽然增加了中国居民的医疗费用,但也与健康状况的改善有关。

Does Contracting With a Family Doctor Affect the Medical Expenditures of Residents in China?

The Chinese government implemented a nationwide family doctor policy in 2016 as a component of the Healthy China 2030 plan. Previous studies on the role of family doctors in reducing medical expenditures in China have produced inconsistent results. This study employed large-sample microsurvey data from across China to analyze the effects of family doctor contracts on actual medical and hospitalization expenditures. Utilizing both ordinary least squares (OLS) regression and instrumental variable (IV) regression, we analyzed data from 11,221 participants in the 2021 National China Livelihood Survey. The OLS and IV regression results suggested that engaging with a family doctor enhanced actual medical and hospitalization costs. This study conducted two additional analyses to delve deeper into this finding. The mechanistic analysis indicated that the association between contracting with a family doctor and increased medical spending was mediated by improved medical accessibility, prompt medication adherence, and regular hospital visits. Furthermore, a heterogeneity analysis showed that this increase in medical expenditures was particularly pronounced among residents with an educational level of high school and below, those suffering from chronic diseases, and individuals residing in regions with superior infrastructure and health resource availability. Consequently, our study indicates that contracting with a family doctor, although it raises medical costs for Chinese residents, is also associated with enhancements in health status.
