Abstract

AbstractThe Capitation Payment Unit (CPU) financing mechanism constitutes more than 70% of health spending in Colombia, with a budget allocation of close to 60 trillion Colombian pesos for the year 2022 (approximately 15.7 billion US dollars). This article estimates actuarially, using modern techniques, the CPU for the contributory regime of the General System of Social Security in Health in Colombia, and compares it with what is estimated by the Ministry of Health and Social Protection. Using freely available information systems, by means of statistical copulas functions and artificial neural networks, pure risk premiums are calculated between 2015 and 2021. The study concludes that the weights by risk category are systematically different, showing historical pure premiums surpluses in the group of 0–1 years and deficits (for the regions normal and cities) in the groups over 54 years of age.
