Health insurance provides adequate health and social security during illness or injury as it covers the associated costs.<\/p>\n

In the Republic of Slovenia, we have compulsory<\/a> and voluntary health insurance<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Health Insurance Institute of Slovenia<\/a> (i.e. Zavod za zdravstveno zavarovanje Slovenije) conducts its business as a public institute, bound by statute to provide compulsory health insurance, whose principal task is to provide effective collection and distribution of public funds.<\/p>\n

Special consideration needs to be addressed when dealing with The Extent of Rights Deriving from Compulsory Health Insurance. This means that the compulsory health insurance “covers” most health-related risks, however, not necessarily all of them and neither in full. The balance<\/a> is either to be paid by the insured person, or, alternatively, the insured person can take out a supplementary insurance policy of copayment.<\/p>\n

Foreigners who are not included in health insurance in the Republic of Slovenia have the right to emergency or necessary health-care services for which payment is provided in accordance with the European legal order, international agreements or from the state budget.<\/p>\n
