The medical devices list included in the Health Application Notification (SUT) are the basis for reimbursing medical devices. In the medical devices list, all the medical devices to be reimbursed are presented. On the other hand, since health service providers define their own medical devices, there is no application standard.  

Online Payments Inquiry and Bank Account Submission System

According to Law No. 5510 (Social insurance and Universal Health Insurance Law) some short- and long-term ınsurance benefits and similar payments, called 'Personal payments’ are paid through the beneficiaries' ID number on the 8th-14th days of a month. If someone who has payments sent to the bank misses these pre-determined days, the benefits are sent back to the SSI’s accounts. This process is repeated every month until the individual receives the payment.

Automatic Payment of Electronic Temporary Incapacity Reports (e-Payment) for the self-employed

Temporary Incapacity Allowance Programme (e-Payment) is a software which the Turkish Social Security Institution put into operation in July 2012 especially for insured persons who have a service contract with one or more employers. In August 2015, it was upgraded to also include the self-employed.

This programme:

"Bedömningsstödet" - The Assessment tool

In 2012, the Swedish government allotted resources for early intervention for a restricted amount of new job-seekers. The requirement was that the Public Employment Service (PES) used a profiling instrument which could objectively select individuals with a high risk of long-term unemployment. Not everyone could come into question and resources should be targeted to those with the highest risk, independent of geographical location. The independence of geographical location entails an important difficulty in allocation of interventions at the local level.

The integration of Student Certificates to the Health Benefits Rights Programme

The integration of student certificates to the Health Benefits Rights Programme (SPAS) involves the electronic flow of data between the Turkish Social Security Institution (SSI) and both the Higher Education Institution (YÖK) and the National Education Ministry (MEB) on up-to-date student certificates.

The groundwork to develop the software started at the beginning of 2013, and finished at the end of 2013, but the entire project was completed in February 2014 and the flow of data on student certificates began electronically.

The programme of deduction of Temporary Incapacity Allowances from premium (contribution) payments

Provision 18 of the Social Insurance and Universal Health Insurance Law (Code Number 5510) states that temporary incapacity allowances may be paid by employers by deducting the amount from their premium (contribution) payments.

The programme implements the deduction between the Turkish Social Security Institution and employers who signed a specific protocol with the SSI on the acceptance of the automatic deduction via e-payment (for the Temporary Incapacity Allowances) programme.

To use positive connotations to get the message across

The general public in Sweden has little interest in the social security system and many times incorrect expectations of how much they will receive in benefits. But at the same time most people are positive about having a general social welfare system. The Swedish Social Insurance Agency’s communication strategy was created to remind the general public of just that and to connect the Agency with those positive feelings by showing how the agency embodies that idea of social security in a modern way.
