We apply several estimators to Indonesian household data to estimate the relationship between health insurance and the number of outpatient visits to public and private providers. Once endogeneity of insurance is taken into account, there is a 63 percent increase in the average number of public visits by the beneficiaries of mandatory insurance for civil servants. Individuals' decisions to make first contact with private providers is affected by private insurance membership. However, insurance status does not make any difference for the number of future outpatient visits.
我们运用了几种估计器来分析印度尼西亚家庭数据，以评估医疗保险与到公立和私立医疗机构就诊次数之间的关系。一旦考虑到保险的内生性，公务员强制性医疗保险的受益人的平均公立医疗机构就诊次数就会增加 63%。个人选择首先到私立医疗机构就诊的决定受到私人保险参保情况的影响。然而，保险状况对未来的门诊就诊次数没有任何影响。
