Author: Timothy Jost

·A description of the institutions, procedures and criteria used by eight countries for assessing technologies for public insurance coverage
·An analysis of the role of interest groups, and of the public interest, in these decision making processes
·An examination of how particular technologies are treated differently by different countries, and why

Based upon research from Australia, Canada, Germany, The Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland, the United States of America and the United Kingdom, the contributors argue that although each of these countries is committed to evidence-based scientific assessment of technologies, in fact adoption of technologies is significantly affected by political considerations, and in particular by the influence of interest groups. Moreover, it offers recommendations as to how technology assessment for coverage policy can be improved to serve better the public interest.

Health Care Coverage Determinations is essential reading for health policy makers, managers, researchers and students with an interest in health economics, health care provision and the politics affecting health care legislation.
