Health Insurance Law regulates the relationships between insurance companies, patients, and healthcare providers. This field covers both private insurance policies and the state Universal Healthcare Program. In Georgia, insurance law is complex and multilayered: policies often contain ambiguous clauses, "fine print," and exclusions that put the insured in a difficult position when a loss occurs. This service is designed for both individuals needing assistance with insurance claims and companies (employers) wishing to select and manage the best corporate insurance package for their employees.
Specialists on Legal.ge offer comprehensive services in health insurance law:
- Policy analysis and consultation: Detailed review of the insurance contract before signing, so the client knows exactly what the policy covers and what it does not (e.g., hidden limits, co-payments).
- Dispute management: Legal representation in disputes with the insurance company regarding delayed payments or unjustified refusals.
- Corporate package optimization: Consulting for businesses on how to draft tenders for insurance companies and select the best terms for employees.
- Subrogation claims: Assistance in cases where the insurance company demands reimbursement (subrogation) from a third party.
- Medical mediation: Using alternative dispute resolution methods to resolve conflicts quickly.
Practical examples include cases where an insurance company unilaterally changes policy terms or terminates the contract after a chronic disease is detected. This is a violation of the law, yet patients often feel helpless. Problems with reimbursement for treatment abroad are also common, where travel insurance refuses payment on formal grounds. A lawyer helps the client force the insurance company to fulfill its obligations in good faith.
In Georgia, this field is regulated by the Civil Code (Insurance Chapter) and the Law "On Insurance." Regulations of the Insurance State Supervision Service of Georgia, which protect consumer rights, are also important. Legislation prohibits discrimination based on health status and sets transparency standards.
Working with a specialist begins with identifying the existing problem. If you already have a dispute, the lawyer will assess the chances of success and develop a strategy. If you are just about to purchase insurance, the lawyer will help you avoid "traps" in the contract.
