Abstract

Health Benefit Packages (HBPs) are essential for advancing universal health coverage (UHC) globally. In Chile, a fragmented and segmented health system includes multiple HBPs. Understanding their characteristics is crucial to inform policy debates on whether to maintain multiple HBPs or move toward a unified national plan.
