The objective of this article is a comprehensive analysis and study of normative and legal acts regulating the reform of financing the health care system, the introduction of the programs of state guarantees for medical care of the population and determining the perspectives for implementing the programs of state guarantees for medical care of the population in Ukraine. The authors of the study have used theoretical (analysis, generalization, systematization, etc.) and empirical (observation, classification, comparison, etc.) methods.; The conducted analysis of international experience has established that countries such as Bulgaria, Georgia, Estonia, Lithuania, Moldova, Poland, Romania, Croatia and others had already gone through the process of introducing guarantees in the health care sector. It has been concluded that the main features of the term of "guaranteed package" should include: a clear definition of the rights to receive medical services; financing from the budget; consideration of the priority of various types of medical services.; The programs of medical guarantees of Ukraine during 2018-2020 have been analyzed. Specific features of their implementation have been determined; the tariff rates and correction factors have been analyzed. The main tariff rates for financing medical services have been distinguished: capitation rate; rate for the treated case or payment for diagnostically related groups; the rate on a medical service, where a separate service is the chargeable unit; global rate; rate on the results of the implementation of medical service contracts.
