Currently, almost every modern person has an insurance medical policy - a document guaranteeing the provision of free medical care. Under an insurance policy, as part of mandatory financial protection, a citizen has the right to receive medical care within the country in which he lives. If we are talking about an insurance policy within the framework of voluntary financial protection, a citizen has the right to receive medical care, both within his state and abroad.
Instruction manual
1
A working citizen is given an insurance policy at the place of work. You don’t need to go anywhere on your own. The insurance policy stamps the organization and the signature of the manager. In case of termination of work in this organization, a person is obliged to hand over the insurance policy to the personnel department.
2
An unemployed citizen to get an insurance policy must come to any insurance medical organization for actual residence with a passport and work book. In the event of employment, he is issued a new insurance policy at the place of work, and the old one becomes invalid.
3
For retired non-working citizens, the insurance policy is issued by the insurance company at the place of residence on the basis of a passport and work book.
4
For working citizens who are retired, the insurance policy is issued by the employer on a common basis.
note
In case of loss of the insurance policy, it is mandatory to inform the insurance company about this. This is necessary for the possibility of canceling the old policy and issuing a duplicate.
The insurance policy is issued for a certain period, so in order to avoid trouble you need to remember this and replace it in time.
In the event of a change of residence, a citizen must also come to the insurance company and write out a new medical insurance policy.
In the absence of a citizen insurance policy, medical assistance will be provided only if there is a clear threat to life. Therefore, you should always try to carry a medical insurance policy with you.
Useful advice
When applying to a medical institution, it is necessary to provide not only an insurance medical policy, but also an identity document.
