Liability of the Insurer Regarding the Coverage of Health

Expenditures

The liability of insurance companies and the Assurance Account

regarding the coverage of the health expenditures of the CTP policies

towards insured parties and right holders ends by transferring the

amount of premium determined as per the principles set forth in Article

5/2 of the Regulation to the SSI.

The Collection of Health Expenditures

The Hospitals treat victims of traffic accidents at no cost. It is suf-

ficient to provide a license plate number of one of the vehicles that has

been involved in the accident for the GHI owners, whereas it is suffi-

cient to provide any kind of proof regarding the accident for those vic-

tims who do not have GSI.

Health services rendered by the Hospitals who have contracts/pro-

tocols with the SSI shall be covered as per the provisions set forth in

the Health Application Notice (“HAN”). A system called “MEDULA”

is created for the collection of the charges of the Hospitals’ services.

With this system, all health service charges that are incurred, or are

continuing to be incurred due to traffic accidents, are recorded and

continued to be updated so that the history of costs follows the relevant

traffic accident. Through this system, the Hospitals collect the relevant

fees from the SSI. In addition, in accordance with the Circular of SSI

numbered 2015/5, the medicine expenses of the victims are covered by

SSI as well.

This data shall be forwarded to the Insurance Information and

Observation Centre (“TRAMER”) via electronic medium so that

repeating payments are avoided.

With regard to health service charges arising due to traffic acci-

dents that occur in Turkey in which vehicles bearing foreign license

plates are involved, the portion corresponding to the liability of the

Operator that bears a foreign license plate within the framework of the

Green Card Insurance shall be claimed by the Institution, from the

Bureau.
