[Compensation for hospital-based physicians].

Abstract

In German hospitals there are four groups of physicians associated with different compensation schemes: the senior consultants receiving both a salary from the hospital and fees earned from ambulatory and stationary private patients; house officers (residents) receiving a salary, overtime allowance and a share in the senior consultants' fees; external doctors with a hospital affiliation (Belegärzte) receiving only the fees paid by patients or their health insurers; medical consultants (Konsiliarärzte) earning fees for optional services from private patients, for other services from the hospital.

Two-tier charging strategies in public hospitals: implications for intra-hospital resource allocation and equity of access to hospital services.

Two-tier charging, the practice of offering separate qualities of service at different prices, is a growing practice in public hospitals internationally. This paper models two-tier charging as a Stackelberg game in which the Ministry of Health leads by setting prices and a representative hospital follows by setting quality levels to maximise surplus in response. Whether or not two-tier charging will secure cross-subsidy from superior to basic service users depends on the own and cross-quality effects of the demand functions for the two services. Under a range of assumptions, the policy will evoke cross-subsidy from basic to superior services.
