 BLAŽKOVÁ, Zdeňka

The main task of health insurance companies is collection of health insurance premiums from premium payers and reimbursement of health care to medical facilities. Legal regulations governing public health insurance in our country have changed a lot since 1993. The basic principle of our public health insurance system is the principle of solidarity. Participation in public health insurance does not depend on the decision of a citizen, but is legally required. The fundamental rights of each insured person are the right to choose a health insurance company and the right to choose a doctor or medical facility which is under contract with health insurance company of the policy holder. The theoretical part of the thesis describes basic concepts and legal regulations of public health insurance in the Czech Republic, with the help of available literature.
