[Insurance for work-related accidents and occupational diseases].
According to Article 51 of the Health Insurance Law, a new class of compulsory insurance - employer's compulsory health insurance - should be used in practice. In applying this article of the Law, the employer is bound to provide sources for all medical and other care needed by the insured in the case of an accident at work or an occupational disease. The employer is obliged to reinsure that class of risk with the insurance companies that idemnity the costs of medical treatment if these costs incur as a consequence of the insured risk (accident at work or occupational disease). The Croatian Institute for the Health Insurance is intermediary between various medical care units, employers and insurance companies. On the examples of four different cases the paper aims at demonstrating the need for quick and efficacious collection of both insurance and medical documentation, the need for professional assessment of that documentation, and the need for closer cooperation between medical experts working with insurance companies and medical supervisors working with the Croatian Institute for Health Insurance.
