Special arrangements for self -employed

An annual insurance capacity is granted, as long as the total debts to E-EFKA and KEAO (2017-2024) do not exceed 100 euros.

Monthly insurance capacity is granted, provided that there is an active debt settlement and is normally observed.

Ways of updating

Insured persons can control their insurance capacity through the E-E-EFKA website (www.efka.gov.gr).

Citizens’ service on insurance competence

Service from any local address: Insured persons will be able to correct issues with their insurance capacity through any local E-EFKA management, regardless of insurance affiliation.

Clarifications on health care

As stated in a relevant announcement, the loss of insurance capacity does not result in the loss of the right of free medical care.

All legally resident citizens with active AMKA have unhindered and free access to hospitalization and medical care in the public health system (public hospitals and health centers).

Special care has been taken for the following vulnerable groups: minors, people with disabilities and chronically ill.

The above categories are also entitled to medical coverage by private doctors for prescription of drugs, treatments and diagnostic tests.
