Dear Keti

Thank you for the data. Thank you also for the meeting today and I am sorry you needed to leave so promptly. I hope the discussions in the government were resultant.

From the meeting you may be still got a brief understanding of the work we have done so far. I hope to be ready to send you a draft model in the next few days. But before finalizing, we still have some remaining questions.

1. As discussed, we would welcome to receive additional information about the room requirements and rental prices. I will for now exclude the rent from the capitation amount.

2. We are still missing some information about pharmaceutical costs to finalize the cost calculation for hypertension, diabetes and asthma. Please see attached the file and the questions highlighted in red. Would it be possible to share this information with us?

3. The total budget information you sent to us for primary care services under UHC planned ambulatory patient care  is 54 941 584. Is it possible to differentiate the cost for what is paid to family doctor services and what is paid for specialist ambulatory services?

4. It seems that there many many discrepancies in the data about providers and total visits. Could you confirm to me, what is the total number of family physicians working under the UHC program and under the rural doctors program? According to the data provided it should be accordingly 1 047

and 1 275.  Also, the data about visits indicates that there are over 440 urban providers, but the data about budget indicates that there are around 200 providers (identical ID codes). Do you happen to know why there is such a big difference and what might be the accurate number of urban providers contracted by the SSA.

If something is not clear or you have questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you once more for the meeting today and I hope we find time to introduce the model to at some stage.

All the best

Kaija

Dear Keti

Thank You for the very constructive meeting. As agreed, I hereby send the amended dummy tables. We welcome your feedback as soon as possible but latest by the end of June. If the NCDC or SSA have additional questions, I will be happy to explain the data needs.

All the best and thank you once again for committing your time to us!

Dear Rusudan,

We reviewed the requested information.

1. As you know, Under the UHC outpatient component service providers are paid on a per capita basis. Therefore, the Ministry does not have the following information:

1) Monthly total payment for primary care package (May 2020)

2) Monthly total payment for specialized services (May 2020)

Rural doctors are given a salary (the same amount of money each month).

Also, information about medical staff is collected at the Centers for Disease Control and only 2019 information will be available only at the end of June.

Therefore, the Ministry does not have its own list of service prices (except for medicines). Every provider enjoys its own prices.

The deadlines for providing information may not be sufficient due to the  activities of the Social Services Agency.

It may be helpful to conduct the online call to clarify issues.

Thank you in advance,

With best regards, Keti

Dear Russiko

Please find  attached file for data request from the ministry.

If necessary I would be happy to meet with them and clarify the data needs.

I think we might need help with clarifying how to collect data about providers that have changed their service provision according to the most recent changes adopted from May. Here any suggestions would be welcome.

We would welcome to receive the data latest by 22. June if possible.

Best

Kaija
