response: "Response from the Ministry of Health\nThank you for your petition, but\
  \ please be informed that if a patient has exhausted the possibilities of treatment\
  \ in the Republic of Slovenia, he/she may exercise the rights to planned treatment\
  \ abroad in accordance with Article 44a of the Health Insurance Act.\nPursuant to\
  \ Article 44a of the Health Insurance Act, an insured person has the right to an\
  \ examination, examination or treatment abroad or to reimbursement of the costs\
  \ of these services if the possibilities of treatment in the Republic of Slovenia\
  \ have been exhausted and the examination, examination or treatment abroad can reasonably\
  \ be expected to cure or improve or prevent further deterioration of the state of\
  \ health.\nIn our opinion, if the possibilities of treatment in the Republic of\
  \ Slovenia have been exhausted, the patient is assured of health care and the petition\
  \ for reimbursement of the contributions paid is unfounded.\nDetailed information\
  \ on the legal bases and the procedure for exercising the right is provided on the\
  \ website of the National Contact Point for Cross-Border Healthcare.\n "
