If you have a Residence Permit, and are paying the bill yourself, you are entitled to 50% discount on medical treatment. You have to ask for it though.

Beware someone said on CBF that insurance will not pay up if you do not have a residents permit.I would check it with insurance company to be sure.

It was us who were told that most Turkish Health Insurance companies have a general rule that to claim you must be a resident and only a residence permit covers this ruling. If told differently get it in writing and legally translated before parting with your money.
Buyer beware comes to mind.
