BAKU, Azerbaijan,
March 2. The introduction of co-financing within
the framework of compulsory health insurance in Azerbaijan has been
postponed until 2027, Trend reports.
This issue is reflected in the amendment to the law "On health insurance" approved by the President of
the Republic of Azerbaijan, Ilham Aliyev.
The amendment stipulates that the specified co-financing amount
is set to be disbursed starting January 1, 2027.
To recall, the co-financing amount was initially scheduled for
disbursement starting January 1, 2026.
The co-financing amount is the part of the losses or damages
caused as a result of an insured event that is not covered by
compulsory health insurance coverage and is paid by the
insured.
The amount is paid directly by the insured to the medical
institution that provided medical services or to the pharmacy
organization that dispensed the medicines.
The amount of insurance payment paid to the medical institution
and pharmacy organization by the body (institution) determined by
the relevant executive authority is reduced by the amount of the
co-financing amount.
When using medical services directly related to a specialized
medical examination without applying for primary medical and
sanitary assistance, the insured must pay the co-financing
amount.
The co-financing amount and the cases in which it is applied are
determined by the service envelope for medical services and by the
positive list for medicines, with the exception of the above
paragraph.
