Health Insurance

Health Insurance

The employer and the employee are each required to pay a health insurance contribution of 4.0% of the gross salary. The compulsory medical insurance contribution, calculated as a percentage of wages and other forms of payment and remuneration, is established at the rate of 3.0% for each payer category (employers and employees). The legislation also provides for an annual fixed amount of health insurance contribution paid by other categories of taxpayers in an amount approved for each year (e.g. MDL 4,056 - EUR ~ 200 - applicable in 2016).

For foreign citizens and stateless people employed under labour agreements in Moldova, health insurance contributions are computed similarly as for Moldovan citizens. In the absence of a local labour agreement, foreign citizens can opt for optional health insurance from a private provider.
