EXCLUDED FROM THE OMI SYSTEM

Who pays for medical services for police officers, prosecutors, military personnel? Whether the scope of rights and obligations in the legal relationship under compulsory health insurance (CHI) depends on the labor status of insured persons, how it is possible and how to insure foreign workers, where refugees have the right to apply - read in the material.

On January 1, 2010, Federal Law No. 212-FZ of July 24, 2009 "On Insurance Contributions to Pension Fund Russian Federation, the Social Insurance Fund of the Russian Federation, the Federal Compulsory Medical Insurance Fund and the Territorial Compulsory Medical Insurance Funds" (as amended on November 25, 2009). social tax currently cancelled, insurance premiums on MHI are paid in accordance with the said Law.

Persons insured in the CHI system are:

Working under an employment contract;

Working under civil law contracts for the performance of work and the provision of services;

Persons receiving remuneration under agreements on the alienation of the exclusive right to works of science, literature, art, publishing license agreements, license agreements on granting the right to use works of science, literature, art.

Non-working persons (incapacitated: pensioners, minors; adult students: students, graduate students, able-bodied non-working citizens) are also entitled to free medical care, although insurance premiums are not paid for them. The cost of their medical services reimbursed from the budgets of various levels.

Who is not in the CHI system

In the Russian Federation, there are certain categories of citizens who, in accordance with the current legislation, are excluded from the CHI system. These include military personnel, employees of the internal affairs bodies, the State Fire Service of the Ministry of the Russian Federation for Civil Defense, Emergencies and Disaster Relief (EMERCOM of Russia), the penitentiary system, prosecutors, and some others.

In accordance with Art. 25 Fundamentals of the legislation of the Russian Federation on the protection of the health of citizens dated July 22, 1993 N 5487-1 (as amended on July 27, 2010, hereinafter referred to as the Fundamentals of Legislation on Health Protection) military personnel, citizens subject to conscription for military service and entering military service under a contract, are entitled to receive medical care in institutions state system healthcare. The procedure for organizing such assistance to military personnel is established by the legislation of the Russian Federation, the regulations of the Ministry of Defense of Russia and other federal executive bodies, in which the law provides for military service.

Paragraph 2 of Art. 16 federal law dated 05/27/1998 N 76-FZ "On the status of military personnel" (as amended on 07/22/2010) states that military personnel and citizens called up for military training have the right to free medical care, free provision of medicines, medical products in medical, military medical subdivisions, units and institutions of federal executive bodies in which military service is provided for by federal law (military medical institutions). In the absence of a place military service or the place of residence of military personnel of military medical institutions or the corresponding departments in them or special medical equipment, as well as in urgent cases, medical care is provided in institutions of the state or municipal health care systems.

Thus, medical assistance is provided to military personnel and persons called up for military training by the network of medical institutions of the Ministry of Defense of Russia or medical institutions of the state and (or) municipal health care systems at the expense of Money extracted from federal budget Ministry of Defense of Russia.

The legislation of the Russian Federation establishes a similar procedure for the provision of medical care for police officers, for all employees of the system of internal affairs bodies of the Russian Federation, for employees of the criminal correctional system: the right to free medical service(including the provision of medicines) to employees of the relevant system of executive bodies in medical institutions specially designed to provide medical care to this category of employees. If such institutions are not available at the place of service or residence of employees of the relevant system of executive bodies, then medical care should be provided to them in institutions of the state and municipal healthcare systems. The costs of the said health care institutions for the provision of medical care are reimbursed from the budget at the rates agreed in the contract concluded between the territorial body federal body executive power and the relevant medical and preventive institution providing medical care to employees of the relevant system of executive bodies.

Prosecutors and judges have been excluded from the CHI system. In accordance with paragraph 6 of Art. 44 of the Federal Law of 01/17/1992 N 2202-1 "On the Prosecutor's Office of the Russian Federation" (as amended on 07/01/2010), medical care (including the provision of medicines) for prosecutors and members of their families living with them is carried out at the expense of the federal budget. Paragraph 5 of Art. 19 of the Law of the Russian Federation dated 06/26/1992 N 3132-1 "On the status of judges in the Russian Federation" (as amended on 03/29/2010) states: "A judge and members of his family have the right to medical care, including the provision of medicines, which is paid for federal budget funds, they are also entitled to Spa treatment which is paid to the judge, his spouse and minor children at the expense of the federal budget. These rights remain with the judge even after his resignation (removal) or retirement. At the same time, medical care for a retired or retired judge and members of his family is provided at the expense of the federal budget in the same medical institutions in which they were registered.

With regard to public civil servants, then, according to paragraphs. 5 p. 1 art. 52 of the Federal Law of July 27, 2004 N 79-FZ "On the State Civil Service of the Russian Federation" (as amended on February 14, 2010), civil servants are guaranteed health insurance a civil servant and members of his family, including after the civil servant retires for long service, in accordance with this Federal Law and the federal law on health insurance of civil servants of the Russian Federation. There are no other provisions in the said Federal Law concerning medical support civil servants, but a special law regulating the issues of medical insurance for civil servants has not yet been adopted. In this regard, until the adoption of such a law, this category of workers is subject to general provisions on compulsory health insurance in the Russian Federation.

Thus, the majority of Russian citizens are insured persons in the compulsory medical insurance system (medical care is provided to them at the expense of compulsory medical insurance). However, there are some categories of citizens who are not subject to CHI (medical care provided to them is financed from the budget). All citizens of the Russian Federation, regardless of whether they are employed or not, are subject to compulsory health insurance or not, have the right to receive free medical care in state and municipal health care institutions.

The question arises: in what order is medical assistance provided to foreign citizens, stateless persons, refugees and internally displaced persons?

Based on Part 1 of Art. 41 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, everyone has the right to health care and medical care. However, only citizens of Russia are guaranteed free medical care in state and municipal health care institutions at the expense of the relevant budget, insurance premiums, and other revenues.

Foreign citizens

According to part 3 of Art. 62 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, foreign citizens in Russia enjoy the rights and bear obligations on an equal basis with citizens of the Russian Federation, except in cases established by federal law or an international treaty of the Russian Federation. Foreign citizen in accordance with Art. 3 of the Federal Law of May 31, 2002 N 62-FZ "On Citizenship of the Russian Federation" (as amended on June 28, 2009, hereinafter referred to as the Citizenship Law) is a person who is not a citizen of the Russian Federation and has citizenship (nationality) of a foreign state. In accordance with Art. 18 of the Fundamentals of Legislation on Health Protection, foreign citizens staying on the territory of the Russian Federation are guaranteed the right to health protection in accordance with international treaties RF. The procedure for providing medical care to foreign citizens is determined by the Government of the Russian Federation.

In accordance with the Rules for the provision of medical care to foreign citizens on the territory of the Russian Federation, approved. By Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of 01.09.2005 N 546, emergency medical care is provided to temporarily staying (temporarily residing) foreigners or foreigners permanently residing in Russia free of charge and without delay. After receiving emergency medical care and after recovering from conditions that pose an immediate threat to life or require urgent medical intervention, foreign citizens can be provided with planned medical care. This type of assistance is provided on a paid basis in accordance with an agreement on the provision of paid medical services or an agreement on voluntary and (or) compulsory medical insurance. To obtain it, a foreign citizen must have the necessary medical documents, as well as guarantees for payment of the cost of medical services and make an advance payment for treatment. Upon completion of treatment, an invoice is issued either to the foreign citizen himself, or to a person, organization representing his interests (in the case of health insurance, this is an insurance medical organization).

Medical insurance procedure foreign citizens depends on whether the foreigner is temporarily in Russia or resides permanently.

Federal Law No. 115-FZ of July 25, 2002 "On the Legal Status of Foreign Citizens in the Russian Federation" (as amended on July 23, 2010) does not contain such a concept as "a foreign citizen temporarily staying in the Russian Federation." In paragraph 1 of Art. 2 of this Law there are such concepts as "foreign citizen temporarily residing in the Russian Federation" and "foreign citizen temporarily residing in the Russian Federation".

Temporarily staying in the Russian Federation is a foreign citizen who arrived in Russia on the basis of a visa or in a manner that does not require a visa, and received a migration card, but does not have a residence permit or a temporary residence permit.

A foreign citizen who has received a temporary residence permit is recognized as temporarily residing in the Russian Federation.

Firstly, the above categories of foreign citizens are temporarily on the territory of the Russian Federation. Secondly, their very presence in Russia must be legal, that is, there must be all the legal grounds necessary for this: in the first case, a visa, a migration card without a residence permit or temporary residence permit, in the second, a temporary permit accommodation. These differences affect the legal status of a foreign citizen, his specific rights and obligations in various spheres of life. However, in the field of medical care and health insurance, there is no difference in the scope of rights granted. The concept of "a foreign citizen temporarily staying on the territory of Russia" is general in relation to the concepts of "temporarily staying" and "foreigner temporarily residing in the Russian Federation" and covers both of these concepts.

Regulations on health insurance of foreign citizens temporarily staying in the Russian Federation, approved. Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of December 11, 1998 N 1488 does not apply to certain categories of foreigners, for example: foreigners permanently residing in the Russian Federation; working under an employment contract; entitled to free medical care in accordance with international treaties. It provides for the provision of medical assistance to them, including medical transport services, on the basis of a medical insurance contract and in accordance with the amount of the insurance premium actually paid. The volume of medical care provided cannot be less than the minimum list of medical services provided in the health insurance system to insured foreign citizens temporarily staying on the territory of the Russian Federation. Such a list of services was approved by Order of the Ministry of Health of Russia dated August 6, 1999 N 315 "On the minimum list of medical services provided in the health insurance system to insured foreign citizens temporarily staying in the Russian Federation." It includes:

Emergency;

Medical assistance in outpatient and inpatient medical institutions in case of a sudden health disorder and accidents to the extent necessary to eliminate the threat to the patient's life and (or) relieve acute pain;

Transportation by medical transport or other vehicle, including medical escort (medical team, doctor, nurse), from the place of illness (incident) to a medical facility;

Posthumous repatriation (transportation) of the remains.

Medical insurance of foreign citizens temporarily staying on the territory of the Russian Federation is carried out by Russian insurance organizations on the basis of a license. Medical insurance of the said foreign citizens may be carried out by a foreign insurance organization that has entered into an appropriate agreement with a Russian insurance organization, or with a service organization that provides organization of medical care (medical transport services). In any case, the organization and financing of medical care is carried out in an amount not less than that provided for by the minimum list of medical services.

A foreign citizen permanently residing in the Russian Federation is a person who has received a residence permit. This category of foreign citizens has the same rights in the field of health insurance as citizens of the Russian Federation, unless otherwise provided by an international treaty. Citizens of the Russian Federation insured under MHI are provided with free medical care in accordance with the basic CHI program, which is part of the program of state guarantees for the provision of free medical care to citizens of the Russian Federation for the next year. Basic CHI programs apply to foreign citizens permanently residing in Russia.

Thus, foreign citizens are guaranteed the right to health care in accordance with the international treaties of the Russian Federation. They have the right to receive medical care on the territory of Russia in the manner determined by the Government of the Russian Federation:

Emergency medical care is provided to them free of charge;

Planned - on a paid basis. There are two ways to pay for planned medical care:

a) on the basis of a contract for the provision of paid medical services;

b) on the basis of a contract of voluntary medical insurance (VMI) and a contract of compulsory medical insurance (CHI). For the foreigner himself, planned medical care can be free of charge, since contributions to VMI and CHI are not made by him, but by the insured.

When considering the issue of health insurance for foreign citizens, the status of a foreign citizen matters. If he permanently resides in the territory of Russia, then he is subject to insurance on an equal basis with citizens of the Russian Federation. If he is temporarily in the Russian Federation, then his medical insurance is carried out in accordance with the procedure determined by the Government of the Russian Federation: in accordance with medical insurance contracts and the amount of the actually paid insurance premium, but in an amount not less than provided for by the minimum list of medical services. Until 01.01.2010, foreign citizens temporarily staying on the territory of Russia, working under labor and civil law contracts, were subject to compulsory medical insurance. Currently, for foreign citizens temporarily staying on the territory of the Russian Federation, receiving remuneration under labor contracts and civil law contracts, insurance premiums for CHI are not made. Accordingly, this category of foreign citizens is not subject to compulsory health insurance. Apparently, when providing medical assistance to foreign citizens temporarily staying on the territory of Russia, the above Regulation on medical insurance of foreign citizens temporarily staying in the Russian Federation should be applied.

Stateless persons

Let's move on to the issue of providing medical assistance to stateless persons, refugees and internally displaced persons.

Dictionary of labor law. A stateless person is a person who is not a citizen of the Russian Federation and does not have evidence of citizenship of a foreign state.

According to part 3 of Art. 62 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, stateless persons in the Russian Federation enjoy the rights and bear obligations on an equal basis with citizens of the Russian Federation, except in cases established by federal law or an international treaty of the Russian Federation.

In accordance with Art. 18 Fundamentals of legislation on health protection, stateless persons permanently residing in the Russian Federation enjoy the right to health protection on an equal basis with citizens of the Russian Federation, unless otherwise provided by international treaties of the Russian Federation. The procedure for providing medical care to this category of persons is established in accordance with the legislation of Russia. Article 7 of the Law on Health Insurance says that on the territory of the Russian Federation stateless persons have the same rights and obligations in the health insurance system as citizens of the Russian Federation.

Thus, the current legislation consistently enshrines the principle of equality of rights of citizens of the Russian Federation and stateless persons (persons without citizenship) in the field of health protection in general and in obtaining medical care in particular. This category of persons has the right to receive free medical care within the framework of federal program state guarantees for the provision of free medical care to citizens of the Russian Federation. But in practice, stateless people have a lot of problems associated with their registration at a certain place of residence, with freedom of movement, with employment, study, attachment to a medical institution, receiving medical care, and others. It is difficult to imagine how a person who does not have a passport - a document proving the identity and citizenship of a person, can exercise the rights proclaimed in the laws, and even on an equal footing with a citizen of Russia. It seems correct to consolidate the rights of stateless persons in the field of health protection at the legal level on an equal basis with the citizens of the Russian Federation in this area, but it is necessary to achieve a real embodiment of the proclaimed rights in life.

Forced migrants

A forced migrant is:

A citizen of the Russian Federation who is forced to leave his place of residence on the territory of a foreign state and arrived on the territory of Russia;

A citizen of the Russian Federation who is forced to leave his place of residence on the territory of one subject of the Russian Federation and who arrives on the territory of another subject of the Russian Federation.

Dictionary of labor law. A forced migrant is a citizen of the Russian Federation who left his place of residence as a result of violence committed against him or members of his family or persecution in other forms, or because of a real danger of being persecuted on the grounds of racial or nationality, religion, language, as well as on the basis of belonging to a certain social group or political opinions that have become the reason for conducting hostile campaigns against a specific person or group of persons, mass violations of public order.

A forced migrant is also recognized as a foreign citizen or stateless person who permanently resides legally in the territory of the Russian Federation and who has changed his place of residence within the territory of the Russian Federation due to the circumstances provided for in paragraph 1 of Art. 1 of the Law of the Russian Federation of February 19, 1993 N 4530-1 "On forced migrants" (as amended on July 23, 2008, hereinafter referred to as the Law on forced migrants).

A citizen is also recognized as a forced migrant former USSR who permanently resided on the territory of a republic that was part of the USSR, received refugee status in the Russian Federation and lost this status in connection with the acquisition of citizenship of the Russian Federation in the presence of circumstances that prevented this person during the period of validity of the refugee status in the settlement on the territory of the Russian Federation.

In accordance with paragraphs. 5 p. 1 art. 4 of the Law on Forced Migrants, a person who has received a certificate of registration of an application, and family members who have arrived with him under the age of 18, are entitled to medical and drug assistance in state and municipal health care institutions in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation. This means that the procedure for providing medical assistance to internally displaced persons is different depending on which group of internally displaced persons a person belongs to.

If a forced migrant is a citizen of the Russian Federation, then he has the right to receive free medical care in state and municipal health care institutions on an equal basis with other citizens of Russia. If a forced migrant is a stateless person, a foreigner permanently residing on the territory of the Russian Federation, or a refugee, the procedure for providing him with medical assistance is established in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation. The analysis of the legislation in the field of health protection and the provision of medical care to these categories of persons allows us to conclude that for the majority of groups of forced migrants a single procedure for the provision of medical care has been established - they have the right to free medical care on an equal basis with Russian citizens.

From January 1, 2015 Belarusian employees are subject to compulsory health insurance. This follows from paragraph 3 of Article 98 of the Treaty on the Eurasian Economic Union. The new rule applies to all employees from Belarus, regardless of their status, that is, regardless of whether they are permanently or temporarily residing in Russia or have the status of temporary residents in the territory of the Russian Federation. Accordingly, from the beginning of this year, employers must calculate contributions to the FFOMS of Russia for compulsory health insurance from payments made in favor of such employees.

By general rule, foreign workers temporarily staying on the territory of Russia are not subject to compulsory medical insurance 1 .

Please note that prior to the beginning of 2015 (before the entry into force of the EAEU Treaty), Belarusian employees with the status of temporary residents of Russia were not insured in the system of compulsory medical insurance.

The fact is that the Agreement between the Russian Federation and the Republic of Belarus dated January 24, 2006 “On cooperation in the field of social security” applies only to relations regulated by the legislation of Russia and Belarus on compulsory social insurance and compulsory insurance from accidents at work and occupational diseases. This Cooperation Agreement does not apply to relations related to compulsory health insurance.

Thus, starting from January 1, 2015, from the first day of work in Russia, Belarusian citizens temporarily staying in our country are subject to compulsory health insurance. Such clarifications are contained in the letter of the Ministry of Labor of Russia dated May 22, 2015 No. 17-3 / OOG-618.

1 Art. 10 of the Federal Law of November 29, 2009 No. 326-FZ "On Compulsory Medical Insurance in the Russian Federation".

Which employees are subject to compulsory health insurance?

An individual who is covered by compulsory health insurance in accordance with the Federal Law of November 29, 2010 N 326-FZ "On Compulsory Medical Insurance in the Russian Federation" (hereinafter - Law N 326-FZ) is an insured person in the CHI system.

The insured persons are citizens of the Russian Federation, foreign citizens permanently or temporarily residing in the Russian Federation, stateless persons (with the exception of highly qualified specialists and members of their families, as well as foreign citizens engaged in labor activities in the Russian Federation in accordance with Article 13.5 of the Federal Law of July 25, 2002 N 115-FZ "On the legal status of foreign citizens in the Russian Federation"), as well as persons entitled to medical care in accordance with the Federal Law "On Refugees" who:

a) work under an employment contract, including heads of organizations that are the sole participants (founders), members of organizations, owners of their property;

b) or work under a civil law contract, the subject of which is the performance of work, the provision of services, under an author's order contract;

c) or how the authors of works receive payments and other remuneration under agreements on the alienation of the exclusive right to works of science, literature, art, publishing license agreements, license agreements on granting the right to use a work of science, literature, art.

The compulsory medical insurance policy (unlike the mandatory pension insurance policy) is not among the documents that the employee must present to the employer when applying for a job (when concluding an employment contract).

CHI policy individuals receive on their own. The obligation to issue them (unlike the obligation to issue a compulsory pension insurance policy) is not assigned to employers.

Organizations that employ individuals insured in the CHI system are insurers.

Insurers make payments and other remuneration to the above persons. At the same time, they are obliged to timely and in full pay insurance premiums for CHI to the territorial bodies of the FFOMS (clause 2, article 17 of Law N 326-FZ).

MOSCOW, September 22 — RIA Novosti. The government bill on personalized accounting in the field of compulsory medical insurance is aimed at excluding insurance of citizens not subject to compulsory medical insurance, improving the quality of budget planning Federal Fund compulsory health insurance and budgets ter CHI funds, said the head of the MHIF Natalia Stadchenko at a meeting of the State Duma.

The State Duma on Friday at a plenary session discussed in the first reading a bill that changes the procedure for determining citizens of the Russian Federation subject to CHI.

Speaking about the novelties of the bill, Stadchenko noted that the law specifies the categories of categories of persons not subject to compulsory medical insurance, as well as mechanisms for suspension and termination of compulsory medical insurance in relation to them.

"This is the subject of our discussion for the second reading (of the bill). We will discuss this at the sites of the Health Committee. To determine the non-working population and the payment of the non-working population, this categorization is not necessary. This categorization is necessary for the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, so that they determine who their of working age and does not work for various reasons ... in order for the subject of the Russian Federation to work with these people to legalize them in the labor market and legally pay insurance premiums for everyone, including for compulsory health insurance," Stadchenko said.

Contributions to the CHI system for employees are now paid by employers, and for the non-working population - by regional budgets. At the same time, the authorities have long been discussing the problem of taxing income and paying contributions for the so-called self-employed - citizens who conduct entrepreneurial activities without registering with the Federal Tax Service and do not pay taxes and social contributions.

The Accounts Chamber of the Russian Federation in response to the draft law on personalized accounting in the system compulsory medical insurance proposes to give the regions the opportunity to verify the reliability of classifying citizens as unemployed when paying social contributions for them.

As the head of the MHIF noted, the draft law also contains the regulation of information interaction between federal government agencies and the MHIF when maintaining personalized records of information about insured persons, including the regulation of the procedures and terms for providing information about insured persons and persons not subject to compulsory medical insurance.

The document also spelled out the endowment territorial funds CHI has the authority to verify the accuracy of the personalized records of insured persons in terms of their compliance with identity documents of a citizen of the Russian Federation.

The draft law also provides for the authority of the government of the Russian Federation to approve the procedure and methodology for determining the number of insured persons, including the unemployed, for the purposes of forming the budget of the Compulsory Medical Insurance Fund, the budgets of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation and the budgets of territorial CHI funds, and also provides for the improvement of the mechanism for monitoring whether citizens have the right to CHI .

"The bill does not lead to an increase in budget expenditures of the budget system of the Russian Federation. Financial support for medical care provided to persons insured in the MHI is carried out within the limits of the subvention approved in the budget of the MHIF for the next financial year and for the planning period," Stadchenko concluded.
