The Republic of Azerbaijan issued this law to establish a comprehensive regulatory framework for compulsory and voluntary medical insurance, effective January 2020. It mandates the delivery of essential and additional benefit packages funded through state budgets, policyholder premiums, and executive authority contributions for vulnerable demographics. The legislation standardizes insurer-medical provider contracts, defines tariff-setting mechanisms, and guarantees policyholders the right to select providers, claim damages, and access cross-border care.
