“…The 'public non-profit' type of service provision is the predominant mode in Slovenian healthcare (Table 1 (Kolarič et al, 2011), account for 15% of THE (Albreht & Klazinga, 2009), while out-of-pocket expenditures account for 12% (Figure 1, OECD Health Statistics, 2013). However, private SVHI is marginal (Albreht et al, 2009).…”

“…Compulsory social insurance systems provided social protection for the employed and their family members. At the same time, the strong public sector remained the main service provider of all types of services to which all citizens were equally entitled (Kolarič et al, 2011). Another Slovenian particularity was that this transition to capitalism was rather smooth and gradual in comparison to those of other post-socialist countries.…”

“…Reforms in Slovenian healthcare have been observed and analysed by numerous authors (see Albreht, 2010;Albreht & Klazinga, 2009;Albreht & Klazinga, 2010;Albreht et al, 2009;Černič Istenič, 1998;Kolarič et al, 2008;Kolarič et al, 2011;Markota & Albreht, 2001;Markota et al, 1999). The most noticeable reforms started in the early 1990s.…”

“…The majority of the population cannot afford the risk of not being voluntarily complementary insured. This situation results in 95% of the population being also covered with VCHI (Kolarič et al, 2011). However, as such, VCHI remains an element of inequality and regressivity (Albreht & Klazinga, 2010).…”

This article starts with background information on the Slovenian healthcare system and the description of the evolutionary process and privatisation reforms that bring a mix of public and private healthcare services. The authors' aim is to conceptualise existing modes of public and private healthcare provision and discuss possible implications for user choice and accessibility of services. A descriptive and exploratory case study approach was employed. Literature and document analysis was complemented by secondary data and semi-structured interviews. The results demonstrate four modes of healthcare services in relation to public-private delivery. The ‘public non-profit' type refers to publicly financed and delivered services. The ‘private within public' type addresses services provided within and by the public sector for patients who pay out-of-pocket. The ‘private for public' type deals with services provided by private entities with concessions. The ‘private for-profit' type refers to completely private provision (without concession) of self-pay services. The strengths and weaknesses of each mode with respect to choice, space-time accessibility, financial accessibility and quality of services are critically discussed. The results of the study show that private healthcare services significantly complement and compete with public sector. In addition, there is a risk that uncontrolled mixing of public and private modes of practice may bring about unethical behaviour and corruption.
