Introduction: In Slovenia, we have developed a social security system since 1992, which is based on the principles of compulsory health insurance and the principles of voluntary health insurance. Health insurance in Slovenia is regulated by the Health Care and Health Insurance Act. It consists of basic and supplementary insurance (Štruc, 2010). In Slovenia, the health security of the population is ensured by the public system of compulsory health insurance implemented by the HIIS. A smaller share of medical expenses is also covered from private funds (Fakin, 2012). Purpose: The purpose of the master's thesis is to present the main characteristics of the work of a nurse in insurance or health insurance through a review and analysis of professional and scientific literature. Methods of work: In the preparation of the master's thesis we will use a qualitative method and a descriptive research method with a critical review, collection and analysis of domestic and foreign literature. Literature from CHINAL, MEDLINE and COBISS.SI databases will be used. We will use the literature from the period from 2010 to 2020. Results: During the qualitative analysis of the content, 3 main topics were formed through the research, which serve as answers to the research questions: the work of a graduate nurse in a health insurance company, work experience and additional voluntary health insurance. Graduate nurses who have been employed by a health insurance company for a long time perform all tasks, from the easiest to the most demanding cases. The treatment of an insured person is very different compared to the treatment of a patient in a hospital or other medical institution. According to all interviewees, hiring graduate nurses is a great advantage for the insurance company. Discussion and conclusion: Health insurance provides social and health security at the time of injury or illness. Health insurance companies follow changes in the habits, attitudes, values and, of course, the behavior of the population and the requirements for individual types of health insurance. In the future, with the development of innovations, nurses will also be assigned new tasks in the health insurance company throughout the entire insurance process, such as; admission of the insured to insurance, marketing of insurance, for health education programs regarding the awareness of the insured and, of course, for the extension and treatment of the insurance case and health insurance.
