MHIF emphasized that within the framework of the State Guarantee Program, two categories of hospitalization are distinguished.
If a pregnant woman requires medical assistance for illnesses not related to pregnancy (such as surgical, infectious, or therapeutic conditions), she will be referred to a specialized medical institution with a requirement for a medium-level co-payment. This type of illness includes acute appendicitis, various injuries, pneumonia, gastrointestinal tract pathologies, urogenital diseases, and infectious diseases, including influenza and acute intestinal infections.
It is important to note that medical assistance directly related to pregnancy, childbirth, and their complications is provided free of charge. This assistance is offered only in maternity facilities, such as maternity hospitals and general practice centers.
MHIF also reminded about the necessity of timely registration of pregnant women. To take advantage of all rights and benefits, it is essential to register with a family doctor at the Family Medicine Center. After that, the information about the woman will be entered into a special database for pregnant women, which will confirm her insurance status. The medium-level co-payment for the treatment of illnesses unrelated to pregnancy is applied only when this status is present.
For any questions, citizens can contact the MHIF's 24-hour hotline at 113.
