Response from the competent authority: As of 1 June 2013, the Compulsory Health Insurance
  Rules came into force, which stipulate that the insured person must be registered
  for health insurance by the insured person (the insurance carrier). According to
  the new rules, the insurance is permanent and ex officio, which means that a citizen
  (the insurance holder) registers with the Health Insurance Institute of Slovenia
  (ZZZS) only once, and then any subsequent change (for example, a change in the employment
  of the insurance holder or a change in the status of the insured person) is made
  by ZZZS ex officio and on the basis of records. The obligation to deliver annual
  certificates of schooling to the ZZZS is also abolished, as the ZZZS keeps up-to-date
  information on schooling by accessing the central register of school leavers ex
  officio.This relieves the burden on citizens, employers, social work centres and
  administrative units alike. The measure also has an impact on internal de-bureaucratisation,
  as the ZZZS was also extremely busy with the registration/reporting process.Previous
  situation:The registration burden was borne by both the citizen (insurance holder
  for the child or spouse) and the employer. The citizen-insurance holder had to deliver
  all the documentation, especially the school certificates, at the beginning of each
  new school year to the employer (the company's human resources department), who
  then carried out the whole process of registering the family member of the insured
  person with the ZZZS (companies have the possibility via the e-vem system). The
  whole process was repeated in case the insured person changed jobs, by deregistering
  and re-registering.New situation:One of the parents (the insurance holder) will
  register the child once, and then the child will in a sense "permanently follow"
  him/her, as ZZZS will, ex officio, when registering the change from one job to another,
  automatically carry out this change for the family member of the insured person,
  and at the same time, ZZZS will also keep up-to-date this information for the insured
  person by accessing the central register of school attendants, so that it will no
  longer be necessary for the insured person's school certificate to be submitted
  to ZZZS every year.Plan:In order to further simplify the system and make it more
  accessible and easy to use, plans are underway to provide for the possibility of
  online registration and deregistration of natural persons, namely to set up an own
  application within the ZZZS for the electronic submission of the above-mentioned
  applications, and the Ministry of the Interior has proposed a solution using the
  national e-government portal, which allows for the generation of electronic forms
  and the linking with electronic records.
