Health Insurance
Legal health insurance in Turkey, as in other countries, entitles you to a basic level of general medical treatment. Like everywhere else, people will need to pay much more for their health treatment in the future. The same will apply in Turkey as costs increase.
Therefore, many people take out additional insurance as a kind of guarantee for their future. With the additional private health insurance you can decide what amount of protection you want.
In Turkey, up to the age of 64 every citizen can sign up for private health insurance. However, some companies may not cover pre-existing conditions without a medical report. This is quite usual here as it is everywhere in the world.
Advantages:
You are able to choose the doctor you want.
You will get comprehensive medical treatment.
All regulations are similar to European insurances.
Additional Health Insurance
On closer examination, the guaranteed legal insurance does not cover all medical treatment. There are some exclusions, particularly for certain conditions. To fill any gaps, it is usually helpful to discuss this with your insurance company. Most companies will be able to find a suitable solution for you. Again, regulations are similar to Europe.
Casualty Insurance
About every three seconds there is an accident. Two out of three accidents happen during leisure time. If there is an accident during leisure time, you are normally not insured. This can also lead to problems.
By taking out private casualty insurance you can be covered for this as well. If you take part in risky leisure activities, you should have insurance. But, as with all health insurance, it is up to you.
Advantages:
24 hour cover.
World?wide cover.
Your own personal cover plan.
