Abstract:
:Turkey has experienced significant development in the private health insurance market since 1991. Improvements in private health services, increased public awareness, and insufficient service delivery by the social security organizations have encouraged more people to buy private health insurance. The number of people covered by private health insurance has reached 600,000, forming a $200 million market. The Turkish insurance industry is targeting 6-8 million insurance holders before the year 2005. This study examines the structure of the commercial health insurance industry of Turkey and gives the latest policy and legal changes made in the insurance market by the Turkish government to affect supply and demand.
