Abstract

The aim of study was discovery and evaluation of existed options for students at contemporary insurance market, estimation of the awareness level among them and discovering correlation between level of ignorance and the rate of visiting healthcare facilities. Despite existence of instruction “Provision by insurer of all essential information to the customer while delivering insurance services” knowledge about student insurance details is extremely low, which is direct violation of consumer rights. No information comes from other governmental agencies, whose role in this regard apparently should be increased.
