Abstract

Regulation in managed care alternatives for health insurance is spreading. We report an experiment designed to measure the amounts of compensation asked for the Swiss population (in terms of reduced premiums) for managed care type restrictions in the provision of health care. We found that restrictions on the freedom of physician choice would require an average compensation of more than one-third of the premium, while generic substitution of drugs would require a much smaller compensation. Marked diversity of preferences is an argument against regulation imposing uniformity of contract in Swiss social health insurance.
