The Mandatory Health Insurance Fund reported cases where hospitalization may be free or discounted for citizens.
FOMS specialists noted an increase in calls to the hotline "113" from those facing financial difficulties when being admitted to hospitals. The main issue is the lack of a mandatory health insurance (MHI) policy, which leads to the necessity of paying for treatment at the maximum rate.
It is important to remember:
The MHI policy is not a formality; it is a key condition for receiving benefits under the state guarantee program.
Emergency medical assistance is provided free of charge only in intensive care units as long as the patient is in a life-threatening condition. If further treatment in a hospital is required, a co-payment will need to be made, the amount of which depends on the presence of insurance.
FOMS emphasizes that it is impossible to obtain a policy while already in a hospital bed. The document must be valid at the time of admission to the medical institution.
FOMS strongly recommends:
Check the validity of your MHI policy right now: use Tunduk, visit the official website, or call the FOMS hotline at 113.
Do not postpone the purchase of a policy until the moment you need medical services.
You can get a free consultation by calling 113.
