Resumen

The costs of comprehensive care for communicable diseases, in the subsidized or indirect contributory regimen of the Peruvian health system, are the basis for the formulation of public policies to guarantee the right to health, for this reason, through a methodological arrangement, it was built a comprehensive care cost estimation model for communicable diseases, which is verified and validated by experts. First, dengue, malaria, tuberculosis and acute diarrheal disease were prioritized as diagnostic groups, according to demographic aspects, social determinants, mortality and morbidity indicators. Successively, the theoretical model "Comprehensive Care Cost (CCI) = Ʃ C (Capital) + IVC (Indirect variable cost) + DVC (Direct variable cost) + CC (Contingency cost) + P/SC (Patient/society cost) is built, obtaining estimated values of 3.66+0.40 and 3.71+0.34 respectively for total costs; while the patient/society cost yielded values of 2.98+0.49 for verification and validation of 2.68+0.32; indicative estimates that the components of the proposed system investigate the real costs of the health care processes of the subsidiary regime, that is to say, high adequacy of the processes, usefulness of supplies and materials, efficient use in the different environments of the system; as a crucial information tool for the comparison and identification of the most cost-effective preventive interventions.
