The fees are correct when outcomes are equal or smaller than incomes with fees and exemption payments need to equal or bigger than these incomes without fees, therefore the average fee collection need to equal or bigger than average hospital payment. At Khammouane provincial hospital, in 2001, the correct models of hospital fees are 'collect all of medical services with the cost of 3 factors: salary, administration cost and drugs-consumer equipment'. The correct models of hospital fees can provide the expenditure on health care in the hospital throughout the year, can raise medical service quality and make more the context for the poor patients can use the health care service without the fees.
