The document states: “To establish the commission fee interest rate for the National Social Medical Insurance Fund (NAO) for the year 2024 within the maximum limit set by the government of the Republic of Kazakhstan at 1.60% of the assets received in the fund's account for the reporting month.”
Previously, the rate was approved at 1.18%.
As explained by the Ministry of Health, the fund's commission fee rate will increase from 1.18% to 1.60% from June 1 to December 31, 2024, due to the government's failure to fulfill its obligations regarding the transfer of contributions to the Mandatory Social Medical Insurance (OSMS) starting in June. The expenses for maintaining the fund will not increase and will remain at the level set in the Development Plan for 2024.
To ensure the financial stability of the FSMS in order to implement its strategic objectives for financing healthcare entities, it is proposed to raise the maximum commission fee interest rate for the FSMS for 2024.
The document has been published on the "Open NPA" website for public discussion until December 12.
