Abstract
El presente trabajo busca establecer quién se beneficia del gasto de recursos del sistema de salud en recobros y cuyos medios son los Comités Técnico-Científicos y las tutelas, para esto se toma información de recobros del régimen contributivo en 2012. Usando la definición de equidad como igualdad de acceso y mediante la aplicación de medidas de desigualdad como curva de concentración, índices desagregados y descomposición del índice de Theil, se encuentra que la distribución del valor de recobros es la misma para todos los niveles de ingreso, indicando que en términos relativos al ingreso aquellos quintiles de menor ingreso se ven más beneficiados (relativamente) que los quintiles de ingreso superior.
Abstract. This article seeks to establish whom benefits from health system resources spent in excluded services through two mechanisms: Technical-Scientific Committees (CTC, from its Spanish initials) and health litigation (tutelas) using data from “formal" health regime in 2012. The study takes the definition of equity as equal access and computes different measures of inequality such as: concentration curve, disaggregated indices and Theil index decomposed. The results demonstrate egalitarian distribution in the excluded services value for all income levels, this indicates in relative terms (relative to income) that lower income quintiles benefit more than higher income quintiles, in other words, relative progressivity.
