Abstract
The ways that medical fee-paying take place, play an important role in any reform process of the health sector and are closely related to the main characteristics of the organization and its objectives. Relations between users, financiers, providers are determined by the existing differences or agreements with the objectives they aim at, they are reflected in a predominant way of stating medical-fees. The model chosen is both an effect of the health sector organization and a determinant factor of some of its predominant characteristics. The design of medical fee-paying models that include cost-effectiveness relations depends on a balanced distribution of financial risks considering advantages and disadvantages for each way.
