Restructed Payment Options for General Health Insurance Coverage

Application deadline for debt restructuring of General Health Insurance premiums in accordance with Law No.6552 is April 30th, 2015.

General Health Insurance (GHI) premiums are accrued from the maximum rate to those who have not applied to an income test. However, provided that they fulfill their income test obligation until March 31st, 2015, they will be allowed to pay their premium debts based on the amount from their income tests applicable from the date of GHI registration.

Those, who are ranked within the lower income group according to the income tests, will benefit from complete cancellation of accrued premium debts and will also receive health service by means of the allowance to be reserved from the Treasury.
