Özet:

 

In times of systematically rising health expenditure and insufficient cover  provided by publicly-financed health systems additional methods of private health  care funding become more and more considerable. The purpose of the paper is to  provide an overview of voluntary health insurance (VHI) purchased in European  countries and to analyze its contribution to health care financing systems. In the  paper voluntary health insurance as a part of health expenditure incurred by the  European countries is considered. Next, the results of analysis concerning the  main characteristics of health insurance markets in Europe are presented. The  conducted analysis was mainly focused on: the value of gross written premiums,  the amount of benefits paid, the number of health insurers operating in the  markets and the percentage of populations covered by voluntary health insurance.  The current trends and challenges for the health insurance sector in Europe are  also discussed.
