At the end of the third quarter of 2023, 4.69 million Poles had private health insurance, which is an increase of 15 percent year on year, PIU, an insurance sector lobby group, said in a statement.During the first nine months of 2023, Poles spent almost PLN 1.2 billion (EUR 275 mln) on private health insurances, nearly 34 percent up year-on-year.PIU reported that the increase in collected premiums was influenced by two main factors: the continued growth of the insurance market in the form of new sales, and the increase in policy prices, which is a result of inflation and the increasing prices of medical services, primarily medical visits."To alleviate the impact of increasing premiums, insurers decided to spread the price adjustment of private health policies over the following months," the sector lobby said."Current and potential customers are showing a great understanding of the situation, as evidenced by the increasing number of contracts. Significant increases were recorded in both individual and group insurance, mainly employee insurance," PIU's statement added.  (ICE VARSAVIA)
