You can get a new policy of compulsory medical insurance in connection with a change of surname at the office of an insurance organization licensed to carry out compulsory health insurance.
What is health insurance and compulsory medical insurance policy
An insurance policy of compulsory medical insurance (MHI) is necessary in order for a person to receive free medical care. The list of medical services to which the compulsory medical insurance policy is entitled can be found in the office or on the website of the insurance organization chosen by the citizen that carries out health insurance.
Since 2011, a single compulsory medical insurance policy has been in effect in Russia, valid throughout the territory of the Russian Federation. It is produced in two forms: in paper version and in the form of a plastic card. A person who has a compulsory medical insurance policy is obliged to provide free medical care in any medical institution in Russia, if it is included in the compulsory health insurance system. As a rule, this applies to public health facilities.
The policy is issued for life, it does not need to be changed
- when changing the place of residence;
- when changing the place of work;
- upon a change in status (employment, retirement);
- when choosing another insurance company licensed to carry out compulsory health insurance.
The only reason to replace the policy is to change the surname of its owner.
The procedure for replacing the compulsory medical insurance policy
The procedure for replacing the policy in connection with a change of surname is carried out as follows:
It is necessary to contact the office of the selected insurance organization, having the following documents with you:
- passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation;
- certificate of compulsory pension insurance.
An employee of an insurance organization draws up a citizen's application for replacing a policy and offers a choice of issuing a policy in paper or plastic version. To issue a plastic card, an electronic photograph of a citizen is taken directly at the office of the insurance organization.
At the time of making the policy (about 30 working days), a citizen is issued a temporary certificate, with which he can apply to receive free medical care.
When the policy is ready, the insurance company notifies the insured about it. He again needs to come to the office of the insurance organization, having a temporary certificate with him. The certificate is handed over to the employees of the insurance organization and in return the citizen receives a compulsory medical insurance policy.
You do not need to hand over the old policy! Its effect is terminated from the moment of issuance of a temporary certificate to a citizen.
You can issue a policy for another person (including due to a change of surname) in the following cases:
1. Minor children. To do this, one of the parents or legal representative must personally contact the office of the insurance organization, having the following documents with him:
- passport of the parent who applied to the insurance organization;
- birth certificate or passport of the child (when the child reaches the age of 14);
- certificate of compulsory pension insurance for the child.
2. To a relative or other person. To do this, you must have a power of attorney from the person who needs the policy. The power of attorney can be drawn up by hand and does not require notarization. In addition to the power of attorney, a person ordering a policy for another person must have the following documents with him:
- passport of the citizen of the Russian Federation, to whom the policy is ordered;
- certificate of compulsory pension insurance of the citizen to whom the policy is ordered;
- your passport.
