In Russia, a federal law was passed, according to which, starting from May 1, 2011, new compulsory health insurance policies will be issued. A new compulsory medical insurance policy is a single-form document that is valid throughout the country. It gives a citizen the right to receive free medical care in any region, city or village, regardless of registration.

The process of applying for a general medical insurance policy of a single sample consists of several stages. First, the citizen must choose an insurance medical organization (SMO), which you need to apply for a policy. Moreover, the opportunity to replace the QS is provided only once a year no later than November 1. The exception is a change of place of residence, or termination of the insurance medical organization.

On the day you contact the insurance company, you must have a passport and an insurance number of an individual personal account (SNILS) with you. The information provided by the citizen will certainly be checked for double insurance in other organizations, since a person has the right to have only one MHI policy. After that, the insured writes a statement and receives a temporary certificate, which confirms the fact of issuing a compulsory medical insurance policy. A temporary policy makes it possible to apply to medical institutions within 30 business days.

After a certain amount of time, a citizen will be issued a permanent policy, which will not have a validity limit. In addition, if the insured person suddenly has a desire to change one insurance organization for another, then in this case the policy is not replaced. Only an appropriate note will be made in it. You need to know that if a citizen did not submit an application for the selection or replacement of an insurance organization, then it is assumed that he is insured by the insurance company, which was previously listed.

All policies that were issued before January 1, 2011 are considered valid. However, it is important to remember that, by law, they must be exchanged for new-type MHI policies before January 1, 2014. Citizens holding such a policy are guaranteed free medical care. Please note that for urgent medical care, a policy is not required.
