How are health insurance violations handled?

The law stipulates the handling of violations of health insurance in Article 49 of the Law on Health Insurance as follows:

1. Anyone who violates the provisions of the Law on Health Insurance and other provisions of law related to health insurance shall, depending on the nature and severity of the violation, be subject to disciplinary action, administrative sanctions or criminal prosecution. If causing damage, compensation must be paid in accordance with the provisions of law.

2. Agencies, organizations, and employers who are responsible for paying health insurance but do not pay or do not pay in full as prescribed by law, in addition to paying the full amount of unpaid premiums, must also pay interest during the period of late payment at the basic interest rate announced by the State Bank; if they do not do so, upon request of the competent authority to handle administrative violations, banks, other credit institutions, and the State Treasury shall be responsible for deducting money from the deposit account of the person responsible for paying health insurance to pay the unpaid or late amount and interest on this amount into the health insurance fund account.
