- Introduction: Long-term care (LTC) is organized in a fragmented manner. Payer agencies (PA) receiveLTC funds from the agency collecting funds, and commission services. Yet, distributional equity (DE)across PAs, a precondition to geographical equity of access to LTC, has received limited attention. Weconceptualize that LTC systems promote DE when they are designed to set eligibility criteria nationally(vs. locally); and to distribute funds among PAs based on needs-formula (vs. past-budgets or governmentdecisions).Objectives: This cross-country study highlights to what extent different LTC systems are designed topromote DE across PAs, and the parameters used in allocation formulae.Methods: Qualitative data were collected through a questionnaire filled by experts from 17 OECD coun-tries.
