Participating in health insurance is one of the fundamental rights of citizens, which has been stipulated in the Law on Health Insurance 2008 and its guiding documents. However, after 15 years of implementation, the Law on Health Insurance 2008 has revealed certain limitations and shortcomings. As a result, on November 27, 2024, the National Assembly issued Law No. 51/2024/QH15 to amend and supplement several provisions of the Law on Health Insurance (Law on Health Insurance 2024). Below are some highlights of the Law on Health Insurance 2024.
(i) Amendment and supplement of the regulations on health insurance participants;
(ii) Amendment and supplement of the regulations on health insurance premium rates and responsibilities to pay health insurance premiums;
(iii) Supplement of the regulations on late payment, evasion of health insurance premiums payment, and corresponding measures for settling violations.
