MHIF noted that within the framework of the State Guarantee Program, there are two main types of hospitalization.
When a pregnant woman requires treatment for diseases that are not related to pregnancy (for example, surgical, therapeutic, infectious, and others), she is referred to a specialized medical institution with a medium-level co-payment. Such conditions include acute appendicitis, injuries, pneumonia and other respiratory diseases, gastrointestinal diseases, urogenital system pathologies, as well as infectious diseases such as influenza and acute intestinal infections.
It is important to note that medical assistance directly related to pregnancy, childbirth, and their complications is provided free of charge. This assistance is provided only in maternity facilities — maternity hospitals and primary healthcare centers.
Additionally, MHIF emphasized the necessity of timely registration of pregnant women. To receive all benefits and rights provided for the insured, it is essential to register with a family doctor at the Family Medicine Center. After that, the information about the woman will be entered into the database of pregnant women, which will confirm her insurance status. It is this status that allows for the application of medium-level co-payment when treating diseases unrelated to pregnancy.
Citizens can obtain consultation on all issues by calling the MHIF's 24-hour hotline at 113.
