The 1993 amended law "For Social Insurance in Republic of Albania", sets out the cases in which persons are eligible for voluntary insurance.

The Voluntary Scheme is a selective scheme, free, for special cases and separate periods of time. This scheme increases the possibilities of Albanian citizens to opt for social benefits. The main goal is social insurance coverage of Albanian citizens who migrate. This scheme was created due to the low number of Albanian migrant workers protected under the national social security schemes of the countries to which they migrate.

Under the Adult Overweight and Obesity Preventive and Curative Programme (Programa de Prevención y Regresión del Sobrepeso y Obesidad (PPRESyO)), the follow-up of patients used to be done empirically by means of a flat file, which resulted in lack of monitoring. For this reason, it was necessary to develop a user-friendly and intuitive technological platform to improve the service. This platform consists of tools for nutritional diagnosis, a calculator of protein and carbohydrate distribution, and the monitoring of the patient's diet.

The Repeatable Medical Prescriptions Programme aims to keep track of prescriptions for beneficiaries who go to first and second level medical units and follow controlled treatments for chronic-degenerative diseases, so that the patient can refill their medication over a period of 90 days, i.e. on the first consultation and the following two months. This optimizes the agenda of doctors who can provide services to other patients.

By Act No. 26970 (complementing previous Act 24476), in September 2014, the national Government introduced a new Pension programme to regularize arrears of pension contributions, extending the time-limit under the Pension Regularization Programme introduced in 2005.

The programme is aimed at those who have reached statutory retirement age (65 for men and 60 for women) or who will reach such age during the two years of the Act's validity, providing them with access to pension benefit provided that they satisfy the minimum length of payments (30 years).
