The purpose of this study is to assesses interventions aimed at improving the distributional impact of a community based health insurance scheme in rural India.
Community based health insurance is often cited as a means of improving access and financial protection in developing countries, but such schemes may not benefit the poorest. We evaluate alternative strategies for improving the uptake of benefits of a community based health insurance scheme by its poorest members. Comparisons: Three groups are compared to standard insurance scheme members (Control). One group is provided with after-sale service and supportive supervision (AfterSS). A second group is provided with prospective reimbursement (PR). A third group is provided with these two interventions together (Both).
