As previously reported,   from May 1, the Russians will get new medical policies . To become a proud owner of the policy of compulsory medical insurance of a new sample, you must write a statement to the insurance company.

Single   a new form of medical insurance will be valid throughout the territory of Russia. Previously, each insurance company produced its shape policies. In the territory of each region operated its own "local" standards of medical services. Often, patients from other cities refused to help, without having the right under the law no. In such cases, the question arises which of the regions will pay for medical care nonresident patient. Now, all this in the past.

Regardless of the place of residence of any insured person has the right to receive free medical care. For the first time in medical law set the maximum term (25 days) pay for the assistance to the patient from a different region. Thus, hospitals receive a guarantee of payment of medical care, as well as an incentive for its delivery.

The new policy of compulsory medical insurance will be issued after the person's birth, and until the end of his life. Assigns it a unique number, repetition excluded. If you change the insurance company medical policy change is not necessary, as it was before.

To obtain the document you need to write statement   any insurance company. Also for the registration of a new document to require the insurance company to surrender the old medical policy. In return you will receive temporary certificate For which is also guaranteed free medical care.

The validity of the provisional certificate is 30 days. During this time, the insurance company sends the data to the territorial MHIF insured, which is checked for the presence of additional health insurance policies. Then the data is sent to the Moscow Main Department of the MHIF. There already is checked on the basis of data from other regions. If a citizen of a number of health policy, which has not been put to them, for example, in previous place of employment, in obtaining a new policy will be denied.

In the management of HIF urged not to rush to produce new policies. Because now, every citizen has the right to choose the insurance company. In choosing a company, the insurer aims to help rating insurance organizations, based on which it will be possible to draw a conclusion about the effectiveness and quality of work of a particular insurance company. Rating will be made by November 2011. By the choice must be approached deliberately, because the insurer can change only once a year.

In addition, as reported in the management of HIF by 2012 in some regions of Russia plans to introduce universal   e-cards, which will store personal data of the citizen, including and information about health insurance. In this case, reception of the new policy is not an urgent need, because the "old" will be in effect until January 1, 2014.
