10. Some common themes in the financing and delivery of
healthcare in Europe, of relevance to private medical
insurance in Turkey
GP / family doctor role as agatekeeper
– controls access to and costs of secondary / specialist care
– GPs may be used to direct clinical priorities and the flow of
resources through the system
– integral to the systemin:
– a (managed care) optionin:
Increasing potential scopefor supplementary private medical
insurance benefits
– as governments seek to control cost escalation within SHI
regimes by placing additional restrictions on reimbursements
Gradualpaceof changein the scopeof UHI/SSS provision does
constrain growth opportunities in private medical insurance

Health in Turkey
Private Health Insurance
Even if private health insurance penetration is low in Turkey
(<3%), it has experienced significant development over the last
decade, due to improvements in private health services,
increased public awareness and insufficient service delivery by
the state healthcare system.
Premium volumes (TRY m)
Health system
A successful reform of Health System occurred since 2003.
Health services are now financed through a Social Security
scheme covering the majority of the population. Services are
provided both by public and private sector facilities.
Products
Over two million people now have private medical cover, much of
which is through employer-sponsored schemes as it is the most
popular employee benefit.
From an insurer perspective, these comprehensive group health
insurance scheme are barely profit making, whereas individual in-
patient policies are morepromising.
Critical illness policies are available either as stand-alone policies or
as riders to other contracts.
No demand for Long-Term Care in Turkey for cultural reasons. Older
people are cared for within the family rather than in state
institutions or commercially-run establishments.
