Quality of hypertension management and health insurance impact: an assessment of insured and uninsured patients with systemic hypertension in a teaching Hospital in Ilorin, Nigeria

Abstract

This study concluded that both insured and uninsured patients with systemic hypertension had comparable treatment, though the insured group had some better satisfaction scores in some of the assessed healthcare domains. The healthcare policy makers should endeavour to improve health insurance coverage, and utilize identified factors in policy formulation and implementation to encourage utilization of health insurance among patients.
