Sgk
« on: September 12, 2013, 20:01:01 PM »
Just read a thread on Fethiye Ex Pats. SGK are askıng people wıth SGK to go to the office to confırm they want to stay ın the scheme or opt out. Apparently there is a form to sign to confirm your requırements. No time scale given to attend . Apparently you go to the new offıce behınd the Football Stadium upstairs 1st office on the right and there is a young man who speaks englısh to help you.You have to declare your ıntentions to stay or leave the scheme wıith no penalties. Looks like they have moved the goalposts again.

Visited SGK offices today on a different matter, so we asked about this new form and were told yes we have to sign in or out. Not too sure why, as the reason we were there was because the bank for the last 2 month has refused our payment. This is  apparently  due to my husband renewing his residency. He was supposed to go to SGK and re-register once he  received his new residency. So we are back there this afternoon to do both. Hope this helps.

Surely it would make more sense to ask just the people who signed up but want to opt out to go along to the office to sign forms to that effect. I envisage another few weeks of total chaos at the offices if they expect everyone in Fethiye to go and confirm their wishes.

We went along to the SGK office today to sign the form and were told because we are in the Bag-Kur system as opposed to SSK, we don't have to sign.  You only need to sign your intention if you are in SSK.

Hope this helps.

Just read this article in LOL.

Quote...

"According to the SGK office in Fethiye the following changes have been made:

Item (d) of the first paragraph of Article 60 of Law No. 5510 stipulated that expatriates who have received residence permits on the basis of reciprocity and who are not covered by health insurance in another country would be considered under the coverage of general healthy insurance.

By virtue of a recent amendment to the law, the general health insurance, which was obligatory previously, has now become voluntary.

If you were a holder of the general health insurance previous to this amendment and do not wish to continue paying premiums, you can apply to SGK in person and have your registration cancelled. However; if you wish to maintain your present status, you do not need to take any action.

Land of Lights will publish a full analysis of these changes in the next issue, following an interview with the manager of the SGK office...." end quote

This reads, to me at any rate, like you don't need to sign anything if you are in and happy about it.

So in other words, if you are currently in the scheme and wish to remain. You don't need to do anything ?
