The high number of patients with other cataract means a significant burden for the society as well. Our aim was to determine the annual health insurance treatment cost of other cataract in Hungary. Data were derived from the financial database of the National Health Insurance Fund Administration (NHIFA), for the year 2018. Data analysed included annual health insurance costs, patient numbers and cost distribution calculated for age groups and sex. The following cost categories were included into the study: general practice care, home care, in- and outpatient care, medical imaging, laboratory diagnostics, pharmaceuticals and medical aids. Patients with other cataract were identified with the following code of the International Classification of Diseases 10th revision: H26. In 2018, the Hungarian NHIFA spent more than 3,19 billion Hungarian Forints (HUF) on treatment of patients with other cataract, [11.82 million American Dollars (USD), or 10.02 million Euros (EUR). 38.88% of costs were spent on the treatment of male, while 61.12% on female patients. The highest patient numbers were in use of outpatient care: 22,212 men (35.97%), and 39,545 women (64.03%) in total 61,757 patients. Inpatient care (87.56% of total health insurance costs in men, 85.79% in women), outpatient care (9.78% in men, 11.16% in women) and general practitioner (1.31% in men, 1.42% in women) were the main cost drivers, while all other forms of medical care amounted to 1.34% in men and 1.64% in women. Annual health care treatment cost per patient was 55,950 HUF (207 USD/175 EUR) in men and 49,411 HUF (183 USD/155 EUR) in women. Inpatient care was the major cost driver in the treatment of other cataract primarily. Major cost drivers showed a moderate difference between men and women. The average annual health insurance costs per patient was 13% higher among men.
