The doctors were shocked when I showed...

Over the weekend, I was at home with an impossible sore throat and a temperature of 39.6.

Taking another dose of paracetamol that day, I called an ambulance. I was told that it was a sore throat and that I should call the local police officer on Monday. The ambulance didn't arrive.

Zhenya Ivanova

was treated and recovered

I typed in the search bar: “What to do if the ambulance refuses to go.” I saw advice on the forum: “Say threateningly that you should call the insurance company now. They'll come right away." I did so. The ambulance has arrived. Afterwards, I threatened the doctors twice more with calling the insurance company, and once I actually called the number indicated on the policy. It helped every time.

The insurance company protects my rights and actually guarantees free treatment. But if you don’t know the laws, then unscrupulous doctors will be able to deceive you, refuse treatment, and demand additional payment.

I recovered and decided to figure out what your compulsory health insurance guarantees you.

Get to know your compulsory medical insurance policy

Most likely, you already have a compulsory health insurance policy. Your parents made it for you immediately after birth. It is either in your passport or in the box with all your important documents.

If you don't have a policy, drop everything and go get one.

Without a policy, you will not get any free treatment. Fortunately, you can get or exchange a policy in any city without residence permit or registration. To do this, take your passport and SNILS with you and go to an insurance company that is convenient for you, which issues these policies.

This is a card If you don’t have SNILS, you first go to the insurance company with your passport, then wait 21 days and only then get the policy.

Citizens of the Russian Federation, foreign citizens permanently or temporarily residing in the territory of the Russian Federation, refugees and stateless persons can obtain the policy. Citizens of the Russian Federation are issued a policy without limitation of validity period. According to the law, even if you have an old policy and it is expired, the insurance will still work. Only until you change your passport details: first name, last name, place of residence.

If you come to the clinic with an old expired policy and are denied treatment, this is illegal. You must be accepted. Clinics ask everyone to change their policies to new documents, but for now this is only a recommendation. Of course, it is better to heed this recommendation: when a law comes out that terminates the old-style policies, it will not take you by surprise.

Which insurance companies provide compulsory medical insurance policies?

Compulsory medical insurance is an insurance program, that is, everyone pays a little into a common pot, and then they pay from it to those who need it. The state collects the common pot from entrepreneurs and distributes it through an extensive system of funds, which, in turn, pay hospitals. And the insurance company is an intermediary manager who connects you, the hospital and the state.

Insurance companies make money from compulsory medical insurance in the same way as from other services. They are also responsible for the quality of services and discipline in the system. Your first point of contact is the insurance company.

Each region has its own registries of companies that issue compulsory medical insurance policies. Just Google it.

Where can you get treatment with a compulsory medical insurance policy?

To get to a clinic in another city or region, you need:

1. Select a clinic. Any, not necessarily the one that is closer to home.
2. Find out at the reception which insurance companies work with this clinic. If you have a choice, look at the company description on the CMO website. Everyone has the same insurance, but some have more offices, while others have 24-hour support.
3. Come to the insurance office with your passport and SNILS and fill out an application for a replacement policy.
4. Get a temporary certificate. It works like a policy for a month.
5. Return to the clinic. Tell the receptionist the code phrase “I want to join your clinic.” Receive an application form, fill it out and return it to the registration office.

Now you can be treated for free at this clinic.

If your insurance company services the clinic to which you are going to attach, then you do not need to change your policy. But you need to inform the insurance company that you have moved and want to be treated in another place. Otherwise, the new clinic will not receive money for your treatment.

Why do you need to join a clinic?

You need to be attached to a clinic because our country has a per capita financing system. Money for your treatment is given only to the institution to which you are assigned. Therefore, you cannot be assigned to several clinics at once. You can also officially change clinics no more than once a year. Previously, this could only be done if you moved. In this case, the new clinic will ask you to write an application addressed to the chief physician.

You cannot attach to a research institute or hospital, only to a district clinic. And there your local therapist will write out referrals to specialized specialists: an eye surgeon, a cardiologist, a chiropractor. Without a referral from your attending physician or emergency specialist, specialized clinics can only admit you for a fee.

What is EMIAS

In Moscow, the data of all patients is entered into EMIAS - a unified medical information and analytical system. This simplifies the process of making appointments with specialists: you can get a doctor’s voucher, cancel or reschedule an appointment, and receive a written prescription electronically. EMIAS even has a mobile application.

Please note: if you have moved and decided to join a new clinic, you cannot simply do it through the system. You need to write an application addressed to the chief physician and wait until the bureaucratic apparatus approves it. This may take 7-10 business days. If you are registered on the Moscow government services portal, then you can submit an application electronically. They promise to review it within 3 business days.

When I faced such a problem, I needed help urgently. And by law they are obliged to help me without any multi-day delays. But the clinic is afraid that if they treat me before the clumsy machine enters new data into EMIAS, then they will not receive money for me from the insurance company.

Right in front of the hospital administrator on duty, I called the insurance company, after which I received the necessary consultations at the hospital for free. I was also examined by a whole commission of department heads, and to this day everyone treats me very carefully.

What is included in compulsory medical insurance treatment?

The law on compulsory health insurance gives us all the right to treatment for free. And even if your policy has expired, you can still use it.

If you don’t have the insurance policy with you, you can still make an appointment with a doctor; they don’t have the right to refuse you.

Although for nurses this is additional concern, so most likely they will try to convince you that this is impossible. If this happens, just call your insurance company.

In any unclear situation, call your insurance company.

The minimum amount of assistance is described in the basic compulsory health insurance program. Each region decides independently whether to add anything else to this list. The exact list of insurance claims can be found in any clinic or found on the website of the Ministry of Health in your region.

In any case, you can apply the following rule: if something threatens your life and health, it is treated for free. If you are generally healthy, but want to feel even better, then most likely you can only do it for money. If the state can help you, but the level of this assistance seems too low to you, you will have to accept it or pay extra.

Examples of what can and cannot be done under the compulsory medical insurance policy

When something hurts, you can see a therapist for free, who will write a referral to a specialist. If indicated, the therapist must write out referrals to any doctors who work in public clinics.

Without a referral, you can make an appointment with a surgeon, gynecologist, dentist and dermatologist at the dermatovenerology clinic. Or register your child with a child psychiatrist, surgeon, urologist-andrologist or dentist. Compulsory medical insurance does not guarantee free tests and examinations without a referral from the attending physician.

Once every three years, you can undergo a free medical examination and find out whether everything is in order with your health. A medical examination is carried out for everyone every three years - that is, if this year you turn 21, 24, 27 years old, and so on.

The compulsory medical insurance program also includes free pain relief and rehabilitation after illnesses and injuries. But it won’t be possible to write down once or twice in which cases you are entitled to free insurance assistance, and in which cases you will have to pay on your own. There are a lot of nuances in this matter. If you have a rare disease or a difficult situation, contact the Federal Compulsory Medical Insurance Fund.

What exactly is not included in the compulsory medical insurance program

The state will not pay for:

1. Any treatment without a doctor's prescription.
2. Conducting surveys and examinations.
3. Treatment at home is optional, not for special indications.
4. Vaccinations outside government programs.
5. Sanatorium-resort treatment, if you are not a sick child or a pensioner.
6. Cosmetology services.
7. Homeopathy and traditional medicine.
8. Dentures.
9. Superior rooms - with special meals, individual care, TV and other amenities.
10. Medicines and medical devices, if you are not in a hospital.

If the hospital asks for money for services that are not on this list, just in case, call your insurance company and find out if it is legal.

Privileges

For people with disabilities, orphans, large families, participants in military operations and other citizens who are entitled to social benefits, the state is ready to pay for more medical services. Each category has its own lists of benefits; you can find them at the social security department or find them on the Internet.

Sometimes you are legally entitled to free treatment, but doctors just shrug their shoulders. There may be a waiting list of up to several months for free rehabilitation, and your local hospital may simply not have painkillers. It's illegal, but it's a fact of life.

Extortion

Doctors are people too, and nothing human is alien to them. Like any person, some doctors are more interested in getting a lot of money from you right now than getting a little less money from the insurance company much later. Therefore, a whole illegal practice of extorting money for treatment under compulsory medical insurance has grown in Russia.

This extortion is based on legal illiteracy. All a doctor needs to do is pretend to be smart and take a stern tone so that frightened patients will start throwing money at him. But the slightest sign that the doctor is facing a legally savvy patient, and the tone changes. Therefore, it is very useful to know what medical services are required to be provided to you free of charge.

Remember that treatment is free only for you. The hospital and doctor will receive money for this treatment from the health insurance fund. This money was paid into the fund by entrepreneurs, including your employer.

You do not have to pay out of pocket a second time for what the state guarantees to you. Moreover, the doctor will most likely receive payment from the fund, even if you are forced to pay.

You do not pay for treatment, but the hospital will receive money for it

If you know for sure that you should and can be treated for free, but the doctor offers to pay, call the insurance company. The insurance number is written on your policy, the hotline specialists will help you.

If you cannot do this, ask your doctor to write a written refusal to provide free medical care. If the doctor behaves defiantly, you can turn on the recorder, this is legal. If even this does not help, call the department for the protection of citizens' rights in the compulsory medical insurance system.

Emergency assistance is always free

If something really bad happens - you lose consciousness, break your leg or feel acute pain - you should be helped in any public clinic, even if you don’t have any documents with you and you’ve never received a policy.

The hospital does not have the right to refuse care to newborns and children under one year of age, even if the child’s parents do not have an insurance policy or registration. They cannot refuse pregnant women either - they can go to any antenatal clinic and any maternity hospital, even without documents.

All participants in the healthcare system are just people: someone’s acquaintances, friends, brothers, matchmakers and godfathers. They have parents and children. They are all Russians and they work just like any of us.

• If a surgeon demands a bribe for pain relief, then it’s not the healthcare system, it’s this particular surgeon, his parents and teachers. This means that somewhere in his childhood his father set an example for him that a bribe is normal. How do you feel about bribes?
• If a hospital says that it doesn’t have money for medicine, it’s not Putin’s fault, but some officials who don’t know how to draw up budgets. Or the head physician who doesn’t know how to manage money. You have plenty of friends who do the same thing at their jobs.
• After all, when you receive your salary in an envelope, it is your employers who underpay into the health insurance fund. Where will the money for your medications come from if you have given permission not to pay for them?

It turns out to be mild schizophrenia: the same person supports mediocre salaries and complains about insufficient funding for hospitals.

Putin, Navalny, Medvedev, Tinkov or Trump will not solve our healthcare problems. We will solve this problem ourselves if we set an example for our children of a conscientious attitude towards work and the law. To skip classes at the institute was not a feat, but a shame. It was a shame to take tests for money. It was against our principles to give bribes. Knowing and standing up for your rights was a responsibility, not a superpower.

In short: no one will fly in and give us free medicine like in paid Israeli clinics. All the hell that we see in hospitals is not hospitals, it is ourselves. And me too.

Let's start with paying taxes and fees. I have everything, thank you. Sorry for the moralizing tone, but I'm just tired of this whining.

Remember

1. If you don’t have a policy, drop everything and go get one.
2. With a compulsory medical insurance policy, you should be treated for free in any state clinic throughout Russia.
3. The treatment is free only for you. The hospital and doctor will receive money for this treatment from the health insurance fund.
4. The policy works even if it has expired. If you come to the clinic with an old policy and are denied treatment, this is illegal.
5. In any unclear situation, call your medical insurance company. The number is on the policy. Put it in your phone right now.
6. If your insurance doesn’t save you, call the Federal Compulsory Health Insurance Fund: +7 499 973-31-86.
7. If you spent money on treatment, which should be free by law, write a statement to the insurance company - you should get your money back.
8. Emergency assistance is always free, even if you do not have documents.

Advantages of online registration

Filing an application through electronic resources has a number of advantages:

• no queues;
• 24/7 access;
• no intrusive additional services.

You will only have to visit the insurance company once to receive the completed document.

Bankrupt insured

If the insurance company in which the citizen is insured has ceased to operate, then the person must, within two months from the date of termination of the insurance contract, choose a new insurer and apply for a medical certificate.

All citizens of the Russian Federation, except military personnel and equivalent persons, have the right to receive special medical insurance. Also, persons with refugee status or foreigners who arrived for a permanent or short-term stay on official duties can receive a compulsory medical insurance policy. This also applies to members of their families and is regulated by the relevant regulation “On the legal status of foreigners in the Russian Federation.”

In order to obtain medical insurance, you need to choose an insurer and enter into an agreement with the clinic. Insurance is issued based on application, no additional payment is required. If the card is issued to a third party (minor children are an exception), you must take care of a notarized power of attorney.

When applying for a compulsory medical insurance policy, you cannot do without a passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation and SNILS. When filling out medical insurance for a child under 14 years of age, you need to prepare:

• birth certificate;
• identification document of the parent or legal guardian;
• SNILS.

Foreigners apply for compulsory medical insurance according to the same system as residents of the Russian Federation, but they provide their civil passport or refugee ID, as well as a temporary residence permit.

After filling out the documents, a temporary certificate is issued. The period for preparing a paper or plastic policy is 30 working days. A temporary document provides the right to receive the same medical services as under the policy.

Temporary compulsory medical insurance policy

A month later, the insurance company sends an SMS notification that the policy is ready to the phone number specified during registration.

Selecting and changing an insurance company

Any person over 18 years of age has the right to freely choose and change an insurance organization. At the same time, a list published on the official website of the regional compulsory medical insurance fund, as well as in other publicly available sources, is provided for selection. Today, there are 8,967 medical organizations operating under the compulsory medical insurance system and 43 insurance companies issuing policies.

Health insurance is compulsory for children from the moment of birth. Newborns are insured under the mother's policy. The document should be issued no later than 1 month after the birth of the baby. The policy is issued by parents (legal guardians, representatives) at the insurance company where they themselves are insured. After the expiration of the calendar month before the child reaches the 18th birthday or acquires legal capacity, compulsory medical insurance is provided in full by the insurance company in which the parent or legal representative is served.

The application can be submitted either personally or through a representative by drawing up a power of attorney. Parents and legal guardians of the child are not required to have a power of attorney.

Is it possible to get a policy without registration? Easily!

If a person is registered at his place of residence in one region, but lives in another, or does not have registration at all, he can receive a compulsory medical insurance policy. According to these rules, the application for a policy requires an indication of the actual place of residence.

It is also worth addressing people who are accustomed to receiving medical services under VHI or similar paid schemes. You should not shy away from obtaining a compulsory medical insurance policy, because at any moment there may be a need to call an ambulance service (for yourself, a child, another family member), and financing “03” is carried out within the compulsory medical insurance framework.

Naturally, if there is a threat to your life, you are required to provide emergency medical care without a policy and even without a passport. But, if you are not registered in the appropriate compulsory medical insurance database, ambulance employees will face the problem of receiving payment from the fund. Today you can apply for a policy in 10-15 minutes, and even fill out the form at home by downloading it on the MHIF website.

Moving to another city: what to do with the policy?

Changing your place of residence does not require replacing your insurance policy, because the coverage extends throughout the entire territory of the Russian Federation. The city in which it was issued to you does not matter. The move must be reported to the local branch within a month after the move; however, registration or registration is not required.

If the company that issued the policy does not have a branch in the city, you need to contact another organization specializing in compulsory medical insurance for citizens. The list of insurance organizations can be found on the website of the territorial compulsory medical insurance fund.

Nuances for refugees and foreigners of other categories

The right to receive free medical care for people without citizenship is spelled out in the law of the same name “On Refugees”.

Residents of the Russian Federation receive a policy with an unlimited time period, and foreigners officially working in Russia and persons with refugee status can apply for a paper document, the validity period of which coincides with the validity period of the temporary residence permit.

Refugees have the right to obtain a paper policy, which is issued before December 31 of the current year, but the period of operation may exceed the final date of stay specified in the temporary residence permit.

Temporary (due to duty) citizens who are members of the EAEU can receive a paper policy that will be valid until the end of the calendar year, but not longer than the period specified in the employment contract.

Foreigners temporarily staying in the country who are members of the collegial Commission of employees of EAEM bodies and officials are provided with insurance for a period covering the entire duration of the contract, but not longer than until December 31 of the current year.
