Challenge of Implementation
• Social Security Act was enacted in 1990
• Implementation of 4 short term benefits (Sickness, Maternity,
Invalidity and Death benefits) had to started in 1991
• Regarding Social Health Insurance
– Established responsible unit in the Social Security Office
(SSO)
– Registration/ Contribution collection
– Benefit package / Service provision
– Payment mechanism
– Information system
สำนักงำนวิจัยเพื่อกำรพัฒนำหลักประกันสุขภำพไทย
Health Insurance System Research Office
Health System Research Institute
Overcome Challenges:
Registration/ Contribution collection
• Lack of trained staff, equipment, office building
and operating procedures
• tremendous increasing of workload
• SSO decided to implement centralized
registration system using its own ID number.
Since the Citizen ID was not completed at that
time

Overcome Challenges:

Benefit package / Service provision
• Using “Exclusive” List approach for Benefit package
• Working with the ILO and Ministry of Public Health on
actuarial issue
• Using existed public and private health care facilities
• Cabinet Order
– Force every public health care facilities providing services
for member of SHI
– Lead to amendment for more flexible financial procedure
in public health facilities include compensation to staffs
• Competition among Public and Private Providers

11
Overcome Challenges:
Payment mechanism
• Debate between payment mechanisms
– Fee for services, which is used under Civil
Servant Medical Benefits Scheme and
Workmen Compensation Fund
• Moral hazard: High risk to SSO->workload to
adjudication and utilization review
– Capitation
• High risk to provider-> decrease quality
– Case Based (DRG)
• Data was in paper-based discharge summary

Overcome Challenges:
Information System
• Ministry of Public Health (MOPH) officially announced to
use ICD10 (2nd country in the world)
• SSO decided to asking computerized report from
contracted health care providers
– Every contracted providers got a PC computer
– A stand alone computer application for contracted
providers was developed
– Nation wide training for using the application with the
new standard coding system by SSO and MOPH

Hurdles
• Social Security Act has potential to expand for UHC
• Hurdles
– Mission for UHC is not clear
– Vision and leadership of Secretary General
– Flexibility of orgnisation to new demand of member and new
initiative e.g. new payment mechanism
– Composition of Triparty Committee, Ownership of the funds
• Specific scheme for specific population VS Universal
• Representative of new member (self-employed, government officers)
• Result: Expansion to other group of population is very slow
– Sickness benefit for spouse in the law was suspend
– Voluntary insurance for informal employee was delay

Result
• New Law is enacted
– National Health Security Act
– Only member of SSS has to pay contribution
for sickness benefits, the rest enjoy health
care benefit using tax
• Impact to the Social Security Act
– Argument from members why do they have
to pay contribution and tax?
