Private insurance is a big and fast growing business in Istanbul. Most
expatriates and citizens who can afford more, opt for private insurances. Two
main kinds of coverage include:
- Yatarak: Covers all expenses
of health problems that result in a stay at the hospital.
- Ayakat ve Yatarak: This secures all health
expenses depending on the insurance agreed upon. Generally, the person might
need to bear about 20 percent of costs that don’t result in hospitalization.
All hospitalization cost will be covered.
Expatriates also have the option of taking out an expatriate
medical insurance offered by companies like American Express or Bupa.
This could be slightly pricey but well worth the effort. It is recommended that
you check with a financial advisor on the best deal and coverage available.
