Health insurance plays a very important role in the life of any person. If we compare it with other types of insurance, we see that not every person concludes them. Health insurance, which is mandatory, is necessary for every adult and child.

Its presence guarantees that in case of illness or accident, timely and qualified medical care will be provided, which will be paid for by the state. In 2014, a law was passed that provides for the replacement of previously used insurance with new documents. The use of new documents can sometimes raise certain questions. Let's talk about them in more detail.

Dear reader! Our articles talk about typical solutions legal issues but each case is unique.

If you want to know how to solve exactly your problem - contact the online consultant form on the right or call by phone.

It's fast and free!

What you need to know about the new policy

It has been operating since the beginning of 2014. First of all, we note that it is necessary to replace the old insurance with a new one, but even without such a replacement, its use is permissible. When contacted, she guarantees the provision of the necessary medical care. The legislation did not establish a deadline for the exchange, after which the use of old-style documents is impossible. However, despite this, the new option has some very important advantages.

One of them is that it is the same for all regions of the Russian Federation. What exactly does this mean?

Previously, the compulsory medical insurance policy was valid only where it was issued and had no legal force in the rest of Russia. Now this situation has completely changed. Having received it in one region, you can use it throughout the state.

Another important advantage is that new insurance can be issued not only in paper form, but also in the form of a plastic card or in the form of additional service, which is included in the Universal Electronic Card(UEC).

MHI policy on paper:

The question may arise as to how a medical institution can read data from a plastic card or from a UEC? After all, not every clinic may have the equipment suitable for this. In order to answer this question, let's show how the new document looks in each of these cases.

If this is a plastic card, then in size it exactly corresponds to a regular bank plastic card. There is a front and back side.

The front side shows the name of the insurance company that issued it, a unique number and a computer chip that contains all the necessary information. The reverse side contains personal data, including a photo, last name, first name, patronymic, signature sample and some other data.

This is what the front looks like:

Now let's look at the reverse side:

Upon receipt of the UEC card, it is also easy to read the necessary data. They are on the back of the card.

As we can see, all the necessary data (including the insurance number) can be easily read without resorting to special equipment.

This is what the front side of the UEC card looks like:

And this is the reverse side:

If you received new policy in paper form, then the unique number of the insurance certificate will be indicated at the bottom of it on the front side.

The figure on the left shows the front of the document, on the right is its reverse side. The number, which in the right figure is indicated by sixteen zeros, in the real document contains the number of the insurance policy.

Expiry date of the new document

Now there are policies that were issued at different times. Of course, it is more convenient and practical to use a new type of document, because it is valid throughout the country, unlike those that were issued before. However, at the moment, they are all valid, despite the fact that the expiration date that was once indicated there has already passed. The latter circumstance cannot be the reason for the denial of medical care.

As for the new policy, it has an unlimited validity period.

However, time limits still exist in some cases. They refer to those people who are temporarily staying in our state and the period of such a stay has expired. In this case, we can talk about those who received only a temporary residence permit in Russia (which has expired) or those who have refugee status, which has already expired.

When to replace it

Although in the new insurance policy The compulsory medical insurance does not have a date after which its validity is terminated, yet there are certain circumstances, as a result of which it is necessary to replace this document without fail:

• When changing your passport for any reason. If it has become unusable, lost, due to a change of surname and for other similar reasons.
• The old policy has expired. As mentioned above, this does not deprive the right to receive medical care, however, in practice, it can create some difficulties in processing the relevant documents.
• If the old document has become dilapidated and important information cannot be read on it.
• If the old insurance is lost.
• If personal data has changed. This may be, for example, a change of surname, address of residence or other changes of this kind.

How to get a new type of policy

To obtain it, please contact insurance company with a document that can verify the identity of the applicant. If the execution of this document may take some time, then the company issues a temporary insurance policy.

Its duration is limited and usually does not exceed one month. If registration does not end in a month, then temporary insurance is extended.

Documents required to obtain a policy

• Upon receipt, an identity document must be presented. Usually we are talking about a passport. In the event that the policy is issued for a child, a birth certificate must be presented. It is also possible that the registration is made to a third party. In this case, you must have the appropriate power of attorney.
• An existing document. Presenting it is desirable, but not mandatory.
• An insurance certificate that relates to compulsory pension insurance. This document is desirable, but not required.

Who needs to get a new document first

Here is a list of them:

• Newborns.
• Previously did not have a CHI policy.
• lost this document.
• Name changers or name.
• If the existing policy contains false information.
• If there has been a change of residence, and in the new place there is no branch of the insurance company that previously issued it.

How to choose the right health insurance company

The insurance company that issues this policy does not directly affect the quality of medical services received. But she can control how they are delivered. The issued document is the same throughout the country. Therefore, they usually choose the company that they have previously contacted and were satisfied with or, if there is none, the one that is more conveniently located.

But let's not forget about the important circumstance that in case of violation of the patient's rights when receiving medical care, it is possible to contact the insurance company that issued the insurance certificate. Then it is likely that such treatment will allow the patient to solve his medical problems. The possibility of such treatment is important to consider when choosing the insurance medical company which makes sense to refer to.

How to get a CHI policy for a child

When receiving it for a child, you need to present a birth certificate as an identity document. The rest of the procedure for obtaining a policy is standard.

What medical assistance can be obtained under the policy

Each of us can get sick or injured. In this case, the state provides for the possibility of free medical care upon presentation of this document. The volume of such assistance, as well as the list of its types, is determined by the current state programs.

They are of two main types:

1. Programs that operate throughout the country.
2. Those programs that operate in certain regions.

In the latter case, services are provided in accordance with the region in which the insurance policy was issued.

We are talking about providing such types of assistance as:

• primary;
• specialized;
• ambulance;
• palliative care.

plastic card

It has the same legal force as a policy in paper form and is issued simultaneously with a paper document. In my own way appearance it resembles the usual bank card. The difference is that the necessary information is indicated here, not only in in electronic format but also visually.

There is a photo, signature sample, certificate number and other necessary personal data. In addition, it is not uncommon for a paper document to be folded several times for ease of storage. This can lead to its abrasion and the inability to read the necessary information. The plastic version is devoid of such a drawback. It is convenient and practical both when using it and when storing it.

Conclusion

The new CHI policy is valid throughout the country and has an unlimited validity period. In addition, the procedure for obtaining is not particularly difficult for the applicant. Although the replacement of the old policy is not strictly mandatory, nevertheless, obtaining a new document will allow you to feel more confident when receiving medical care.
