description The article described elements related with de determinants of health care expenditure in Colombia, in which the Per Capita Unit estimated per year and the insurance charges to FOSYGA represent the main points related with the determinants of health care expenditure, but the question is why and how they impact on the total expenditure?. The sustainability and the finance protection is a priority. For these reason the analysis of the factors and determinants of health care expenditure is a need for the countries.

This paper is a reflection and a general approach for understanding better the factors driving the health care spending in Colombia. En este artículo se describen algunos elementos teóricos y contextuales de los determinantes del gasto en salud en Colombia, pieza clave en el financiamiento del Sistema de Salud. En general, los principales factores que determinan el gasto en salud son la unidad per cápita y los recobros al FOSYGA. La pregunta aquí es ¿por qué la UPC es un determinante del gasto en salud, cómo es estimada y cuál es el impacto de la UPC y de los recobros en el gasto en salud en Colombia?. El artículo es una aproximación reflexiva que permite comprender mejor los factores que dirigen el gasto en salud en Colombia.
