The deadline is approaching for the General Health Insurance (GSS) debts of individuals without social security. Notifications have started to be sent by the SGK to those with GSS debts regarding the payment of their debts. As the new year approaches, expectations for new regulations are also increasing. If no regulation is made, individuals without social security and with GSS debts will not be able to benefit from the program as of January 1.

GREEN CARD HAS BEEN IMPLEMENTED

In order for those without social security to benefit from health services, a new application was implemented instead of the green card, and Turkish citizens residing in Turkey have been mandatorily included in the general health insurance coverage since January 1, 2012.

MONTHLY PAYMENT OF 600 TL

More than 9 million people in Turkey are covered by GSS and are required to make monthly premium payments corresponding to 3% of the gross minimum wage. The GSS amount was set at 600 lira per month for the year 2024. Individuals who declare that they do not have the financial capacity to pay premiums can receive health services without paying premiums by undergoing an income test. In this context, those who document that their monthly income does not exceed one-third of the minimum wage have their health premiums covered by the state. Notifications have started to be sent by the SGK to those who do not undergo an income test and fall into the status of premium debtor regarding the payment of their debts.

NEW GSS REGULATION MAY COME WITH THE OMNIBUS LAW

However, efforts are also being made to postpone these debts. It is stated that a regulation regarding the postponement of GSS debts may be made in one of the 'omnibus laws' that will come to the agenda of the Grand National Assembly of Turkey (TBMM). Another formula is to extend the period for those with GSS premium debts to benefit from health services again by a presidential decision. Last year, the rights of citizens with premium debts to benefit from health services provided in public hospitals were extended until December 31, 2024, by a Presidential Decision.
