* “When a new beneficiary joins the Public Health Insurance, the first task of FONASA is to place them in one of its 4 income segments. This classification, of scale type, allows to gather socioeconomic characterizations of the beneficiary population, and they are defined in the following way:
- A Group: Beneficiaries lacking the resources to pay contributions in health, or in conditions of indigence (non-contributors).
- B Group: Beneficiaries with incomes under CLP$270,000 per month (contributors). Workers in the public health sector.
- C Group: Beneficiaries with incomes between CLP$270,000 and CLP$394,200 per month (contributors).
- D Group: Beneficiaries with income equal or higher than CLP$394,200 per month (contributors).
However, the specific usefulness of this distribution of the beneficiary population is to specify the co-payment that they make in return for medical care granted with the coverage. Copayment is the concept to refer to a payment for services shared between the beneficiary and the insurance, where FONASA finances or subsidizes a part (percentage) of the cost of any health care, and the beneficiary contributes out of pocket the part that we do not finance / we reward.”
