The Minister of Health Anahit Avanesyan's meeting with employers aimed to discuss the procedure for including employees earning less than 200,000 drams in the health insurance system.
The minister presented a preliminary draft according to which the insurance premium should be formed.
According to the draft, an employee earning less than 200,000 drams will have to pay 2,000 drams monthly as an insurance premium in 2027, while the remaining 4,400 drams will be subsidized by the state, and 4,400 drams by the employer.
The purpose of this format is to curb the sharp increase in the financial burden on citizens earning up to 200,000 drams by involving them in the insurance system.
Accountants and financial managers from companies raised dozens of questions, observations, and suggestions during the meeting.
Anahit Avanesyan emphasized the importance of the specialists' observations, stating that such meetings are initiated precisely to take these into account during the initial draft phase of each part of the reform.
Anahit Avanesyan highly appreciated the work done by these specialists since the introduction of insurance, highlighting that it was quite extensive and required professional skills and flexibility.
The ministry notes that such meetings will continue in an online format until the complete implementation of insurance through all phases.
