Abstract

The aim of this paper is to show that in a system in which there is a risk of equalization as a response to the introduction of competition among third-party payers there is also a system of equalization claims. The lower classes of risk in the system means the more redistributive system in order to provide compensation claims – lower financial liability of the third party payer. This thesis has been verified on the basis of an evaluation of compensation claims, operating in countries with competition among third-party payers – countries where this occurs are: the Netherlands, Switzerland, Germany, Israel, Czech Republic, Slovakia and Belgium.
