Presented to the Presidency of the Parliament! Approximately 2 billion TL of General Health Insurance premium debt from before 2015 will be erased.

It is anticipated that the 2 billion lira GSS premium debt will be erased along with the interest. The impact analysis of how many people will benefit from the regulation, which will also cover debts before 2015, will be revealed after it is conducted.

The budget proposal will be enacted before it reaches the General Assembly of the Parliament. The bill containing amendments to the Social Insurance and General Health Insurance Law has been submitted to the Presidency of the Parliament.

According to this, the debts of citizens who have not benefited from the restructuring so far or who, despite benefiting, have been unable to pay their premium debts as of 01.01.2015 will be completely erased.

With this regulation, approximately 2 billion lira of premium debt will be eliminated.

THOSE WITH DEBTS WILL NOT BE ABLE TO RECEIVE HEALTH SERVICES

Since January 1, 2012, the General Health Insurance has been applied for citizens without social security.

The right of citizens with debts in the system to benefit from health services will end as of January 1, 2025.

9 MILLION PEOPLE UNDER GSS

More than 9 million people in Turkey are covered by the General Health Insurance.

Those who are not working in any job, not retired, or not dependent on their spouse, parents, etc., are required to be General Health Insured.

They need to make monthly premium payments equivalent to three percent of the gross minimum wage. For the year 2024, this amount was set at 600 lira.

Individuals who declare that they do not have the financial capacity can receive health services for free by undergoing an income test.
