Abstract: The method of actuarial modeling is applied in pension or social insurance schemes. However, the possibilities of using this method also occur in non-life insurance, which includes health insurance. The aim of the paper is to point out the application of actuarial modeling to determine the rate of compulsory health insurance in the solidarity health system. For this reason, in the paper we use Slovak Health System based on Bismarck model as a case study for application of the chosen method. In the case study we use a PESTLE analysis for better understanding of current situation. The paper uses secondary data collected in the period 2009 - 2019 from the official documents of the Ministry of Health of the Slovak Republic. Based on actuarial modeling we determine the rate of health insurance for the economically inactive population at 6.3 % of the assessment base. This is a change of 2.3 points compared to the current official rate and a 9.03 points increase in the state's share in the creation of resources from compulsory health insurance. The paper has an application character. Therefore, we conclude that the method of actuarial modeling can be used to determine the rate in the solidary health care systems.
