Background and Objective: With the growing concern over treatment cost in health care and the desire to improve the effectiveness and equality of healthcare financing and the quality of the care, policy-makers have turned their attention to health insurance, especially, for the poor. This study attempted to determine the willingness to pay for health insurance among the mothers who utilized the urban primary health care clinic (UPHCC) for maternal and child health. Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out in the working areas of UPHC Project in Bangladesh following two-stage cluster sampling technique to select the participants. Data were collected from 3949 women aged 15-49 years having at least one child aged two years or less. The data on willingness to pay for health insurance was collected using the contingent valuation method with bidding style. Data analysis was done by SPSS 22.0 version. Two generalized linear models with binary logit link function and normal identity link function were developed to identify the potential predictors for willingness to pay for monthly health insurance. Results: Three-fifths (67.5%) of the respondents agreed to pay for monthly health insurance. The median monthly premium for health insurance was BDT 15.5. Multivariate analysis revealed that utilization of UPHC clinic, quality of life, family size, age, wealth index, level of education, husband and respondent’s occupation, ownership status of the house, religion and family income appeared to be potential predictors for health insurance (p<0.05). However, utilization of UPHC clinic and quality of life appeared to be important predictors across all the models. Conclusion: A large proportion of the community agreed to pay premium for health insurance. Based on the finding of the current study the policy makers might consider introducing a scheme for health insurance especially among the urban poor.

“…Willingness to pay for a service is the maximum amount that the consumers will definitely pay for the goods or services. As a methodological tool, willingness to pay can be used to measure the ability of a group of consumers by offering them hypothetical monetary value for providing a specific product (Quevedo et al, 2009). Compare to cost-effectiveness analysis, WTP methods incorporated the opportunity cost more accurately and thoroughly (Quevedo et al, 2009).…”

Determining the health insurance premium is the most important aspect in providing social health insurance. In measuring the rate, it is needed to calculate the cost of providing the service. One possible methodological tool of calculating the cost is the contingent valuation method for the evaluation of the consumers’ capacity and their willingness to pay for the services. This study applied a Logit model, having binary depended variable with follow up dichotomous choice at different premium levels, to estimate the factors associated to joining the social health insurance scheme. The study found that 80.1 percent of the government employees of Bangladesh wants to pay on average 6.69 percent of their basic salary as social health insurance premium. The result shows that younger peoples are less willing to pay while older people are more willing to pay for social health insurance. The study also revealed that the area of residence and no of visit to doctor play a key role in determining the willingness to pay. This study should help the policymakers to formulate and implement the social health insurance scheme in Bangladesh.

“…To perform Direct Surveys three elements are involved: a detailed description of the service offered, a description of how the service would be provided and a method for eliciting preferences for the services [42]. The direct approach is referred to as Contingent Valuation (CV) and, despite controversies [52][53][54], it has become one of the most widely used techniques for valuing non-market goods [48].The present research investigates household preferences for improved water services through a CV survey.…”

Developing understanding of the economic value that communities ascribe to improved operations and maintenance (O&M) services has emerged as a key factor in achieving financial sustainability for rural water systems. The present study elicits household willingness to pay (WTP) for improved O&M services in eight gravity-fed water schemes in Idjwi Island (Democratic Republic of the Congo, DRC). A contingent valuation survey was implemented through an open-ended format questionnaire to 1105 heads of household and a log-linear regression model was employed to assess the factors influencing higher values. Findings show an average willingness to pay of 327 Congolese Francs (CDF) per month and 36 CDF per bucket. Results also indicate a significant WTP differential among studied schemes. The analysis of the conditioning factors reveals that the level of excludability, the participation in management meetings and the time employed in fetching water from an improved source are contingent with their WTP. The findings of this study are important for development agents trying to establish acceptable, affordable and practicable tariffs that help finance reliable rural water systems in Idjwi.
