Abstract:
Whether the indirect costs caused by a specific disease should be included in economic analysis of health issues is a continuous matter of study which is far from solved. Throughout the course of this paper, we will try to point out the reasons of recommending their inclusion in economic health analysis and the main techniques for their calculation. Two practical examples about the economic impact caused in our society by some diseases will be analyzed. HIV/AIDS case has been chosen for its social relevance. Migraine was chosen for being a disease which in term of direct costs represents a small burden of illness for the health sector. But, if we have into account the indirect costs, the impact of the whole problems related to the migraine should be reconsidered.

Managed Care System:
The managed care system is designed to control the cost while maintaining the quality of care. The patient's care from admission to discharge is planned by the primary care provider or the case manager, also known as the gatekeeper. In a managed care system, the number of care providers is limited...
