Those who typically go without insurance capacity each year as long as they have AMCA are eligible for nursing and medical care, with free access only to public health facilities. According to experts, there will be a problem with prescribing medicines for them, since doctors of state structures will not be able to carry out the procedure electronically and will be forced to do it manually. It should be noted that the insurance capacity of the long-term unemployed, as well as workers in special categories and members of their families, has been extended unconditionally until February 29, 2024.

It should be noted that until May 31, the self-employed could cover part of the insurance capacity by paying only an amount corresponding to the 2022 contributions to the health sector. Regulation extended even to those who had additional contributions that were not paid on time and did not need their regulation. Now, even if they regulate them, with a permanent adjustment to 24 installments, or even by resurrecting the rules to 120 or 72 installments, they will not acquire automatic insurance capacity. This will only be achieved if they also pay their current contributions, and this amount will form a capital corresponding to the total health contributions in 2022.

But even if the insured person chooses to pay only current contributions, he should know that free access to all medical institutions, as well as for successive insured persons, will “open” until February 2024, when the amount corresponding to the insurance premiums for 2022 Of course, from March 2024, he will face new debts that will relate to medical contributions for 2023, and therefore he will again be without insurance capacity.

Therefore, experts say, the best solution for the unemployed would be, on the one hand, to pay all current contributions, and on the other hand, to start some active debt obligations for the entire remaining amount in order to avoid new troubles in the future.

In addition, those self-employed insured persons who find from today that they have not been granted insurance legal capacity will be able to submit a corresponding request electronically in order to avoid the inconvenience of being transferred to an EFKA branch. Platform available for this purpose: “Non-Employee Insurance Verification”, Non-Employee Insurance Verification | e-EFCA. The conditions will be checked by the competent services of the Agency and the insurance capacity will be assigned to them immediately.
