The Mandatory Health Insurance Fund reminded that citizens with oncological diseases can expect free hospitalization for planned repeat surgery within a year after the first one. This means that patients will not incur additional costs for inpatient treatment during this period.

As clarified by the fund, no co-payment is charged for a number of medical services during inpatient treatment, which also applies to the initial hospitalization.

Among the services for which no additional payment is required, the following can be highlighted:

“In addition, the medical institution is obliged to provide the patient with the necessary medications from the list of essential medicines (EML). If the specified medications are unavailable, which can be checked against the list posted in the department, the patient has the right to purchase the medications independently. These rules are outlined in the State Guarantee Program,” the FOMS reported.
