Addressing the question of the possibility of revising the insurance premium, Avanesyan clarified that the mechanisms for this process are also enshrined in the law:

“Every year, the Minister of Health presents a report to the National Assembly prepared by the Insurance Fund, which includes information on consumed services, provided volumes, forecasts, price changes, and other aspects:

This means that the results of the previous year are presented, along with a proposal for the insurance premium for the following year:

Every year, the National Assembly must make a decision whether to keep it the same, increase it, or reduce the insurance premium,” she explained:

According to her, discussions will take place in the coming months with partners in the financial sector regarding state subsidies for health insurance in 2027:

“In the next 1-2 months, it will become clear how much the state will subsidize those groups that are not fully subsidized,” Avanesyan said:

She emphasized that in the case of a revision of the insurance premium, it would apply to all beneficiary groups:
