Best Health Insurance in Slovenia

4 insurers ranked and reviewed · Updated May 2026

Healthcare System Overview

Slovenia operates a Bismarck-model health system with mandatory insurance administered by the single-payer Health Insurance Institute of Slovenia (ZZZS). A major reform in January 2024 abolished the voluntary supplementary health insurance (VHI) system that had been run by private insurers. Co-payments previously covered by VHI are now funded through a mandatory flat-rate public contribution. Private insurers still offer additional (dodatno) health insurance for premium services, second opinions, and expedited care.
