Health Insurance

The activity of collecting health insurance contributions and premiums, managing the collected funds, and using them to finance healthcare services, activities, and goods provided for under the Health Insurance Act, national framework agreements, and insurance contracts. Health insurance can be compulsory or voluntary. Compulsory health insurance guarantees insured persons free access to medical care through a package of healthcare services defined by type, scope, and volume, as well as the right to freely choose a provider contracted with the regional health insurance fund. Voluntary health insurance is provided by licensed insurance companies based on a medical insurance contract under the Insurance Code.
