Abstract

Introduction: Supplementary health care services are provided to offer health care services beyond existing medical services at a reasonable cost to all members. These supplementary health care services contribute to the health and quality of life of the members and therefore membership provides peace of mind and a sense of security. This study aimed at investigating supplementary health care services packages in selected countries and presenting a model for Iran.Methods: It is a comparative study which was carried out from 1382 to 1383. The countries to be studied were selected based on Garden Division model and Delphi technique was used to present a model for Iran. To collect data, a questionnaire was used. Its validity was approved by experts and test-retest was used to confirm its reliability.Results: The main factor that made people use supplementary health care services was that public health care services do not cover all aspects of health care (89%). Among the organizations responsible for INSURANCE, supreme health council was assigned in. charge of approving supplementary health care services (78%). A decentralized organizational structure was proposed executively for supplementary health care systems while they were suggested to be centralized in policy - making and planning (92.5%).Conclusion: Developing a kind of competition between public and private supplementary health care services may have an important role in enhancing the quality of health care services and improving the consumers' satisfaction.
