Abstract

Describing out-of-pocket (OOP) healthcare costs in relation to ability to pay requires multiple linked data sources not previously available. Current estimates of the progressivity of OOP healthcare costs in Australia are based on self-report surveys. Using newly linked Census to administrative income and medical claims data, we aimed to quantify, for the first time, the progressivity of OOP costs for government-subsidised out-of-hospital healthcare in Australia.
