COVID-19 Treatment Costs in Turkey: Determinants and Burden of the Social Security Institution
Öz
This study aims to investigate the burden of treatment costs of patients hospitalized with COVID-19 on the Social Security Institution (SSI) and determinants of COVID-19 treatment costs. This research is a retrospective study. The study examined 389 patient files that were admitted to a public hospital in Turkey with the diagnosis of COVID-19. In the study, age, unit of hospitalization, gender, the average hospitalization time, chronic disease and invoice amounts were evaluated. The average invoice amount for each patient was calculated as $653.03. The average length of stay is 5.38 days and the average daily invoice amount per person is $121.37. Independent variables of age, hospitalization unit (service, intensive care unit), chronic disease (yes, no) and average hospitalization time (day) accounted for 79.3% of the change in the cost of treatment for COVID-19. As a result, it can be said that the cost of treatment for COVID-19 is quite high, the costs of treatment will increase depending on the number of patients receiving treatment for COVID-19, and it can be a significant financial burden on SSI.
