标准道德风险模型的一个基本含义是过度使用低价值的医疗保健,因为自付额低于成本。在这些模型中,需求曲线本身就可以用来说明福利状况,这是许多实证研究所依赖的事实。然而,有充分的证据表明,人们滥用护理是出于不同的原因:错误或“行为危害”。许多高价值的医疗服务即使在患者成本较低的情况下也没有得到充分利用,一些无用的医疗服务即使在患者面临全部成本的情况下也被购买。在存在行为风险的情况下,仅使用需求曲线的福利计算可能会偏离几个数量级,甚至是错误的符号。我们推导出综合了道德和行为风险的最佳自付额公式,为基于价值的保险设计提供了理论基础,并提供了解释行为“推动”的方法。一旦将行为危害考虑在内,健康保险所能做的不仅仅是提供财务保障--它还可以提高医疗保健效率。
A fundamental implication of standard moral hazard models is overuse of low-value medical care because copays are lower than costs. In these models, the demand curve alone can be used to make welfare statements, a fact relied on by much empirical work. There is ample evidence, though, that people misuse care for a different reason: mistakes, or “behavioral hazard.” Much high-value care is underused even when patient costs are low, and some useless care is bought even when patients face the full cost. In the presence of behavioral hazard, welfare calculations using only the demand curve can be off by orders of magnitude or even be the wrong sign. We derive optimal copay formulas that incorporate both moral and behavioral hazard, providing a theoretical foundation for value-based insurance design and a way to interpret behavioral “nudges.” Once behavioral hazard is taken into account, health insurance can do more than just provide financial protection — it can also improve health care efficiency.
