Abstract

Background and Objectives: Diabetes is one of the most expensive chronic diseases and a global public health problem. One of the objectives of implementing the Health Reform Plan (HRP) was to reduce the out-of-pocket payments for hospitalized patients. The present study was carried out with the aim of determining the Direct medical costs in hospitalized Diabetic patients after implementation of the HRP. Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive-analytical study was conducted in 2019. The records of Diabetic patients hospitalized in Imam-Ali Hospital of Zahedan from March 2017 to June 2018 was reviewed by the census method and the Direct medical costs were recorded in a researcher-made checklist. Data were analyzed using the SPSS version 22 Results: In this study, the Direct medical costs of 704 hospitalized Diabetic patients were evaluated. The majority of the study population was female (517, 73/5%) and 237 had gestational diabetes. The mean direct medical cost per hospitalized Diabetic patient was 29, 264, 465 Rials and the mean out-of-pocket payment was 11. 8%. Moreover, Direct medical costs of Diabetic patients increased with age (P<. 001). Conclusion: Diabetic hospital care imposes a high burden on basic health insurance. Despite the HRP, out-ofpocket payments for hospitalized Diabetics are still significant. Government subsidies should focus on expanding access to care for Diabetics, financial protection for disadvantaged residents and expanding public education on diabetes.
