The effectiveness of the amendment will be delayed

The effectiveness of the amendment to the act on health insurance, which should implement the new mechanism of allocating of premiums between health insurance companies and ease the reporting of solvency of insurance companies, is to be shifted. Originally it should have entered into force at the beginning of June, but in June it will only be in the second reading in Parliament. Act should allegedly enter into force around mid-July. This shifting will, according to the Ministry of Health, not affect the new reallocation of premiums, which should bring more money to state General Health Insurance Company (Všeobecná zdravotná poisťovňa). Money from new reallocation will come to insurance companies as was originally planned, ergo in October.
