Build Slovak Health-Insurance Employer Notification (Oznámenie zamestnávateľa, XML)

Skill: Convert insurance start/end/change events into a health-insurer notification

Region: Slovakia (Slovensko) Category: Health care Does: Takes employee health-insurance start, end and change events and assembles the Oznámenie zamestnávateľa o poistencoch (employer notification of insured persons) XML for electronic submission to each relevant health insurer (VšZP / Dôvera / Union) via its electronic branch (ePobočka / elektronická pobočka). Spec: Health insurers (VšZP, Dôvera, Union) — Oznámenie zamestnávateľa XML + XSD (current version), event-code based.

The Oznámenie is the event-driven registration form by which an employer notifies a health insurer that an employee's public-health-insurance relationship begins, ends, or changes (e.g. start/end of employment, start/end of an exempting state such as parental leave). It is the health-insurance counterpart of the Sociálna poisťovňa RLFO and must precede the monthly premium statement (Form 514). Element names below follow the Oznámenie form, not a verbatim XSD.

When this applies

• An employer notifies the insurer of each relevant event generally within the statutory deadline (typically 8 days) of the event (start of employment, end of employment, or a change such as the start/end of a period when the state pays the premium) — confirm the current deadline.
• The notification is filed per insurer: each employee's events go to the insurer they are registered with.
• A correction is filed by submitting an adjusted notification (cancel / re-report) for the affected person and event.

Structure (FORM → XML)

Hlavička / header   employer IČO, employer's insurer-assigned number, insurer
Per poistenec — repeating, one per event:
   identification (rodné číslo), name
   kód udalosti       event code (e.g. start of insurance / end of insurance / category change)
   dátum udalosti     effective date of the event
   kategória platiteľa payer category where relevant (employer vs state-paid period)
   doplnkové údaje    supplementary data for the event type

Data rules

• Event codes follow the insurer's current code list (begin / end / change of the basis for premium payment); each row carries one event with its effective date.
• One notification stream per insurer; an employee's events go only to the insurer they are insured with.
• Sequencing: a start event must precede inclusion on the Výkaz preddavkov (Form 514); an end event removes the person from future statements.
• Identification (rodné číslo) must match the insurer's records; new employees must be insured at a Slovak public insurer.
• No monetary amounts on the notification itself; premiums are reported separately on Form 514.

Worked example (outline)

Hlavička: IČO=12345678, insurer=VšZP, employer no.=…
Event 1: rodné číslo …, kód=start of insurance, dátum 2025-05-01
Event 2: rodné číslo …, kód=end of insurance,   dátum 2025-05-31
(separate notification produced for Dôvera / Union employees)

Emitted as the Oznámenie XML and submitted via the insurer's ePobočka before the relevant Form 514 statement.

Validation checklist

• Current Oznámenie XSD used; correct insurer and employer IČO + insurer-assigned number
• One stream per insurer; each employee's events to the right insurer
• Valid event codes and effective dates; payer category set where relevant
• Identification (rodné číslo) matches insurer records
• Start events precede Form 514 inclusion; end events stop future statements
• Submitted via ePobočka within the statutory deadline (typically 8 days)
