When, where and how to get medical insurance

The policy of compulsory medical insurance must be absolutely for every person who lives on the territory of Russia. After all, only if it is available absolutely in any medical institution you can get free qualified help. But, unfortunately, not all Russians know where and how to get a medical policy.

Starting from 2011, every person has the opportunity to choose an insurance company in which he wants to receive a medical policy. This right of choice extends not only to the primary or repeated receipt of this document, but also to replace the company chosen earlier, where it was received. It is also worth mentioning that from 2011 to 2014, policies of a new single model are issued and will be issued absolutely for all regions of the country. Such policies can be obtained at will or in the event that the validity of the document in your hands has expired. For such a replacement, you must provide the following documents to your insurance company or its branch in which you are serviced: passport, SNILS, document to be replaced. In some cases it is also necessary to present a work record book.

Information on how to obtain a compulsory medical insurance policy can be found not only in the reception companies that issue them, but also on their official websites. Therefore, in order to learn how to get a medical policy, it's enough just to visit the site of the selected insurance company and all carefully and without haste to study.

If we talk about the immediate replacement of not only this document, but simultaneously the company that issued it, you should know that in this case it will be necessary to write two applications at once. One application is written to the current company stating that the citizen no longer wants to remain its client. The second application is written to a new insurance company, where a person plans to get a health insurance policy. How to get it, you will be told by the employees of the newly selected company.

It should be specially noted that the most important question, how to get a medical policy, worries immigrants who came to work in Russia. For these citizens, the procedure and conditions for obtaining such documents are identical to those that are intended for Russians. But you should know that only those citizens who live in Russia permanently have the right to receive a medical policy. In case of temporary stay, such a policy is not issued. In case of necessity, visitors can count only on receiving services provided in the context of emergency care.

Another category of citizens who are very worried about the question of how to get a medical policy are newly-made parents. After all, during the first month of life the child should be shown to the doctor, and this document is needed for this. A parent's policy can be obtained from one of his parents. To do this, you need to write an application and provide the insurance company with a birth certificate for your baby, your passport and (if any) SNILS. The policy also describes the parent.
