In the article is systematized the scientific approaches to understanding the essence of the category «health insurance».  To do this, an analysis of the legal framework, which provides health insurance regulation in Ukraine, as well as scientific literature. Based on this analysis, a comprehensive definition of the category «health insurance» are formed. The object, subject and subject of insurance activity are defined. The main features of compulsory and voluntary health insurance are outlined. The main groups of risk factors that affect the health of the population: socio-economic indicators of economic development; state of ecology; the level of health development and the risks associated with the prevalence and mortality of certain diseases. Based on the study, the main problems of health insurance development were identified: imperfect legal regulation, uneven distribution of funds and insufficient level of medical care.
