[Comparative price analysis of healthcare interventions between autonomous communities]

To highlight the differences in pricing applied to health interventions by the autonomous communities, as well as the heterogeneous definition of the basic list of services.

A comparative analysis of the prices of representative procedures included in the common basket of health services was conducted, based on information from official publications of the autonomous communities.

Significant prices variations for the same intervention were identified across autonomous communities, along with notable heterogeneity in service definitions.

The Interterritorial Council should promote transparency in the criteria used to set prices and enhance the coordination of regional health services in the definition, implementation, and development of analytical accounting systems. Additionally, it should standardize the specification of services included in the common basket of benefits to facilitate the analysis of regional differences in production costs.
