The procedure for replacing the compulsory medical insurance policy with a new type policy started several years ago. Get a policy compulsory medical insurance of the new A sample will help in person by contacting a company specializing in health insurance or the MFC. Alternatively, it can be ordered through a proxy. The preferred form of the received document must be indicated, which is available for:

• people with Russian citizenship;
• people who are citizens of other states but reside in Russia on a permanent or temporary basis;
• refugees;
• persons without citizenship.

It is required to provide its owner with medical care without payment throughout the entire territory of the Russian Federation, giving the right to choose a medical institution, calling on clinics, hospitals, and medical centers to work efficiently and quickly.

What does he look like?

• compact form of a plastic card;
• composition of the universal electronic card(promising option).

What does the new sample compulsory medical insurance policy look like in paper form? The format of the new document is A5, it is not recommended to bend it, and laminating it is strictly prohibited. The only thing that can be done is photocopies on both sides, which will help extend the life of the original. On the front part there is information about the owner (full name, day, month and year of birth), date of receipt, and a unique barcode. On the reverse side is printed information about the place of residence, the insurance company and its coordinates.

The electronic form is similar to a bank card. All data about who issued it is stored on the CHIP, for this reason, owners of plastic insurance should remember the name of their insurance company in order to provide information in hospitals and clinics. A unique number is also located here. On the reverse side there is a photograph and signature of the owner, the date until which the card is valid. The answer to the question of where to get a new plastic compulsory health insurance policy requires additional preparation related to calling organizations whose activities are related to health insurance. The reason is that not everyone has the technical ability to issue a plastic version.

You can check the authenticity of the paper or plastic version of the policy issued to you on the official resource by entering a unique number in a special search bar. You will need to turn the document with the front side facing you, where the compulsory medical insurance policy number of the new sample is printed, regardless of whether it is made on paper or plastic.

List of documents

The documents for obtaining a new compulsory medical insurance policy are, in principle, the same for everyone:

• a correctly completed application to an organization whose specialization is health insurance;
• a certified copy of a document that can clearly prove your identity;
• a certified copy of SNILS (if available).
• a certified copy of a document confirming the status of “refugee” (certificate of consideration of an application on this issue), a residence permit, an identification document of a stateless person, where there is a mark confirming the legality of residence in the territory of the Russian Federation for foreign citizens, refugees and stateless people respectively.

Do I need to renew or order a reissue?

First of all, it should be emphasized that all medical insurance documents received in hand, dated January 1, 2011 and earlier, are required to be accepted by any medical institution. Whether or not to change the old version is up to its owner.

It is worth paying attention to the fact that when you receive a new sample document in your hands, you will not find an expiration date on it. Therefore, to the question: “Is it necessary to renew the compulsory medical insurance policy of the new model?” The answer is no, with some caveats:

For this reason, you must take it with you on any trip within Russia. The new unified compulsory medical insurance policy gives the right to choose not only the doctor providing medical services, but also the medical institution.

The nuances of obtaining a new sample document

As in any business initiated by the Russian authorities, when obtaining a single policy guaranteeing medical care, there are a number of nuances that need to be prepared for.

You can change your insurance company once during a calendar year and strictly before November 1st. The exception is the new owner's registration address.

Insurance is provided by one organization at a time. Accordingly, a person can be the owner of one policy.

If a plastic format is lost or damaged, then only its paper counterpart can be issued to replace it.

The country’s government plans to eventually move en masse to a universal electronic card, which will replace policies (not only old, but also new ones), performing the functions of an identity card, a certificate of pension insurance, etc., opening access to a variety of state and municipal services in any region Russian Federation without payment.

The compulsory health insurance policy belongs to the category of registered documents. It contains all the personal data of the insured person. If they change, it is necessary to initiate measures to correct the information entered into the insurance company’s database, and, as a consequence, into the policy. Regulatory sources regulate the time frame within which the insured person must notify of the need to reissue the policy. In case of violations, the citizen may be denied medical care provided at the expense of the insurance company. When there is a need for re-registration compulsory medical insurance policy? What is the procedure for re-issuing a policy? What documents may be needed for this? We will answer these questions in this article.

When should the policy be renewed?

A citizen’s personal information can be changed under certain circumstances. They are usually associated with receiving a new document. The identifying information may be changed or left the same, but changes must be made to the insurance company's database in any case. The circumstances that cause the policy to be reissued are always associated with the irrelevance of the information reflected in the document. If it is lost or damaged, a duplicate will be issued. The document cannot be replaced in case of life changes such as a change of residence within the same region or a change of job. Thus, the grounds for the re-registration procedure are:

• Changing a citizen’s identifying data regarding his last name, first name, patronymic, gender, date and place of birth;
• Obtaining a new identity document;
• Identification of inaccuracies in the document associated with errors in its execution.

In case of changes in the information data reflected in the insurance document or identification of inaccuracies in them, the insured person is obliged to notify the insurance company within a month from the date of the occurrence of the event or detection of errors. After notification, it is necessary to reissue the policy. Special cases of document re-issuance are discussed in the following articles:

What happens if you don’t renew your policy in a timely manner?

If the insurance policy is not reissued in a timely manner, its owner will be denied medical care. Regulatory and legal sources provide citizens in such a situation with a month’s period to prepare new documents. During this period they can count on receiving free medical services under a temporary policy. It is worth noting that violation of deadlines is not grounds for the accrual of penalties. The citizen is simply deprived of the opportunity to be treated at the expense of the insurance company.

Grounds for issuing a duplicate

A duplicate is issued if the insurance document cannot be used. The reason for this may be dilapidation, fading of the text, tears in the document or the loss of its individual parts, loss. The procedure for obtaining a duplicate is similar to the re-registration event insurance document. The algorithm of actions for the owner of the insurance document in both situations is identical.

The number of each policy is entered into the electronic database. This makes it possible to receive services using just one number and an identity document. This data is enough for the clinic to issue an invoice to the insurance company for the services provided to the patient. Therefore, if you lose your policy, you can receive free medical care without providing it, however, it is recommended to quickly issue a duplicate document.

How to reissue a policy or get a duplicate of it?

To reissue a policy or express a desire to receive a duplicate of it, you should notify the insurance company of the need to carry out the event. The procedure is carried out on the basis of an application from the policy owner. It must reflect a request to perform specific actions with the insurance document, with a detailed justification of the reason for the request. Copies of the following documents must be attached to the application:

• Identification of the applicant - passport for adults and birth certificate for children under 14 years of age;
• Evidence of assignment of an individual account number for participation in the insurance pension system;
• Confirming changes in personal data.

In case of renewal of the policy, after submitting an application with a set of necessary documentation justifying the action, the original document is confiscated for cancellation. Instead it is issued temporary policy, valid for 30 days. It can be provided in medical institutions to receive free medical care. If the reason for reissuing a policy is a change in personal information, then it is important to justify the need for the event. To do this, documents confirming the relevant changes should be attached to the standard package of documents:

• A marriage certificate indicating the change of the woman’s surname to the husband’s surname;
• A certificate of divorce, which is the basis for returning the woman to her maiden name;
• Certificate of change of name;
• Passport, which reflects changes in personal information;
• Policy with erroneously entered data.

The registration of the procedure for changing information in the policy due to objective reasons or for obtaining a duplicate can be carried out personally by the owner of the document or his representative. If the policy belongs to a child, then the operation will be handled by his legal representatives, who may be parents or persons authorized to perform such actions. In such a situation, the algorithm of actions does not change, but the list of documents should include the passport of the child’s representative.

If the owner of a policy subject to renewal for any reason cannot personally submit documents to the insurance company, then he has the right to issue a power of attorney for representation. The law does not contain information about the need for notarization of a document. It is assumed that it can be executed by the guarantor himself. However, in order to avoid misunderstandings with representatives of the insurance company, it is recommended to resort to the services of a notary. When submitting documents, the representative will need to provide an identification document that confirms his right to act on behalf of the guarantor.

Conclusion

A timely procedure for bringing personal identification documents into compliance with a medical insurance policy will allow its owner to avoid many problems associated with denial of free services in medical institutions. The re-registration procedure is not complicated; you just need to contact the insurance company and provide the necessary documentation.

According to the legislation of the Russian Federation, every resident of the country must have an insurance policy for medical protection. To do this, when filling out an application, a document is issued confirming the existence of such an agreement with a certain company. In connection with the emergence of its new forms, the need arose to switch to them. How to change your policy Compulsory medical insurance of the old We will open a sample for a new one in this article.

The requirements for drawing up a health insurance contract are described in Section 3 of the Compulsory Medical Insurance Rules. They also specify its types and data that must be recorded. That is, the information has a standardized form. In 2018, policyholders may have several contract options on hand:

• paper A5 format
• plastic, similar to bank cards
• plastic – universal electronic card (UEC)

At the beginning of 2017, the release of the UEC version was suspended. From this period, it is not considered mandatory for provision, although it was planned to switch to service in government institutions using them, as well as as a travel ticket or wallet. Thus, on the territory of the Russian Federation today the most relevant are the regular paper version of the new sample and the plastic card. The latter is not accepted everywhere, as it requires a reading device.

New sample policy and its features

The new compulsory medical insurance policy is:

• paper version, printed on blue form (introduced in 2011)
• electronic plastic card (used since 2014)

It doesn't hurt to have both options, since in case of loss you can use the second option. Different insurers have the same type of policies. This is an A5 form on the second side of which information about the insurance company itself appears. Many insured persons are wondering where the policy number and series are located, since this information often required to fill out documents. On a plastic card it is printed on the front side. On the paper version of the new sample it is also on the front. At the same time, there is now no series, like the old policies, there is only a sequence of 16 digits.

The document is issued in one copy. If there is a loss or the paper is lost, do not worry, as it is not difficult to restore it or write an application to get a new one.

The advantages of owning new options compulsory medical insurance applies:

• when taking out a policy, the rights of a person who is a citizen of Russia are expanded regarding opportunities medical care. Thus, assistance should be provided to him anywhere in the country, regardless of the registration address in the passport
• services are provided not only in public institutions, but also in private ones
• introduction electronic system recording patient data allows for faster service by the reception department
• To enter data on a change of surname and registration address, the issuance of a new policy is not mandatory
• An electronic card can be issued to all clients of insurance companies. This does not depend on a person’s employment, since medical insurance also applies to unemployed citizens

As a rule, the list of services provided under compulsory medical insurance is standardized. If you want to increase or expand their list, you can apply for additional VHI insurance. This is a voluntary, optional type that costs more depending on the amount of insurance coverage. Its possession extends to the use of even assistance abroad, allows you to be served without waiting in line, except in cases that are subject to restrictions on this issue.

How long is the policy valid?

Cards are issued by insurance companies with no expiration date for users. Paper versions were previously issued for a period of 1–5 years. New options also have no restrictions on use. They are issued to persons who apply for them for the first time (newborns, foreigners). Others receive them as a result of applying for a replacement or restoration of loss.

There are other conditions that affect the need for replacement:

• change of surname
• passport replacement

Important! The use of an expired policy is not a reason for refusal of service, but it can be a problem when preparing some documents.

Registration deadlines

According to unofficial statistics, the time required to wait for the issuance of the original compulsory medical insurance policy is 10 days. Depending on the insurer’s workload, the period increases to 1.5 weeks, but the maximum is 30 days (clause 5 of the Compulsory Medical Insurance Rules). The same period is established for the activity of a temporary option, which is issued at the client’s request after completing all the papers and submitting an application. If you apply through MFC centers, the time frame may be longer by 2 days, since postal delivery is also required.

Conditions for mandatory replacement

The list of conditions, the consideration of which requires the implementation of actions to replace the policy, consists of the following list:

• change of surname
• change of place of residence, and, accordingly, registration
• change of data on place of birth, date
• if there is an error in the policy data
• moving to another job (not always relevant)

Conclusion

Based on the above, it should be concluded that they will not necessarily replace the old policy with a new one. It is advisable to do this if its validity period has expired or the situation corresponds to one of the above. To complete the procedure, you must contact the insurer with documents. There is no need to pay anything, and there are no late fees.

Do I need to issue a new policy before November 1st?

As reported by the Compulsory Medical Insurance Fund, all types of policies previously issued in Russia are perpetual, be it a paper document or an old-style plastic card. Health care under compulsory health insurance programs will be provided in full.

There is no time limit for obtaining a new policy. Therefore, it is not at all necessary to exchange old policies for new ones before November 1.

Such a pause, in accordance with the law, occurs every year. You can change your insurance company once per calendar year.

In what cases is the policy changed?

A person can change the policy if its format is paper. This will be appropriate, since the barcode located on a piece of paper may be erased, the form itself may become wrinkled, and such a policy cannot be laminated. A plastic card is easier to use (the old style green plastic card can also be replaced).

You can also change your policy together with the insurance company. If the latter does not suit you, you can choose a better organization.

If a citizen’s personal data (last name, first name, patronymic, date and place of birth) or gender has changed, he will have to receive a new policy within a month. In the case of a new place of residence, the policy does not change, but changes are made to the information about the insured person.

If a citizen has lost an insurance document or inaccuracies are found in it, he will also be issued a new policy.

Replacement of the policy is free of charge.
