Between 2005 and 2015, Seguro Poplar's Fund against Catastrophic Expenditures (FPGC) funded ALL treatment in Mexico. Before January 1, 2011, FPGC reimbursed a fixed amount per patient according to risk. In 2011, the per capita reimbursement method changed to fee for service. We used this natural experiment to estimate the impact of the reimbursement policy change on average expenditure and quality of care for ALL treatment in Mexico. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>METHODS<\/jats:title><jats:p> We used nationwide reimbursement data from the Seguro Poplar's FPGC from 2005 to 2015. We created a patient cohort to assess 3-year survival and estimate the average reimbursement before and after the fee-for-service policy. We examined survival and expenditure impacts, controlling for patients' and providers' characteristics, including sex, risk (standard and high), the volume of patients served, type of institution (federally funded v other), and level of care. To quantify the impact, we used a regression discontinuity approach. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title><jats:p> The average reimbursement for standard-risk patients in the 3-year survival cohort was $16,512 US dollars (USD; 95% CI, 16,042 to 17,032) before 2011 and $10,205 USD (95% CI, 4,659 to 12,541) under the fee-for-service reimbursement scheme after 2011. The average annual reimbursement per patient decreased by 136% among high-risk patients. The reduction was also significant for the standard-risk cohort, although the magnitude was substantially smaller (34%). <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>CONCLUSION<\/jats:title><jats:p> As Mexico's government is currently restructuring the health system, our study provides evidence of the efficiency and effectiveness of the funding mechanism in the Mexican context. It also serves as a proof of concept for using administrative data to evaluate economic performance and quality of care of publicly funded health programs. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1200\/go.23.00060","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,16]],"date-time":"2024-05-16T19:59:32Z","timestamp":1715889572000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1200\/crossmark","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Impact of Fee For Service on the Efficiency and Survival of Seguro Popular's Patients With Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia in Mexico"],"prefix":"10.1200","author":[{"given":"Diego","family":"Cerecero-Garc\u00eda","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Research on Evaluation and Surveys, National Institute of Public Health (INSP\u2014Instituto Nacional de Salud P\u00fablica), Cuernavaca, Mexico"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4731-3384","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Fernando","family":"Mac\u00edas-Gonz\u00e1lez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Research on Evaluation and Surveys, National Institute of Public Health (INSP\u2014Instituto Nacional de Salud P\u00fablica), Cuernavaca, Mexico"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2958-8544","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Paloma","family":"Mu\u00f1oz-Aguirre","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Research on Population Health, National Institute of Public Health (INSP\u2014Instituto Nacional de Salud P\u00fablica), Cuernavaca, Mexico"},{"name":"National Council for Science and Technology (Conacyt), Mexico City, Mexico"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Rodrigo","family":"Huerta-Gutierrez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Research on Population Health, National Institute of Public Health (INSP\u2014Instituto Nacional de Salud P\u00fablica), Cuernavaca, Mexico"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0737-924X","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Martha","family":"Zapata","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Coordination, Fundaci\u00f3n IMSS, A.C., Mexico City, Mexico"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Roberto","family":"Rivera-Luna","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oncology, National Institute of Pediatrics, Mexico City, Mexico"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8471-4128","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Martin","family":"Lajous","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Research on Population Health, National Institute of Public Health (INSP\u2014Instituto Nacional de Salud P\u00fablica), Cuernavaca, Mexico"},{"name":"Department of Global Health and Population, Harvard T.H.
