How to attach to a private clinic under the MHI policy

There is an opinion that in private clinics you can be treated only for a fee. And it is completely impossible to attach to them as a polyclinic. Meanwhile, both are wrong when it comes to clinics that have joined the system of compulsory health insurance.

What you need to do to attach to a private clinic was told on the official Internet resource to inform about the socio-economic situation in Russia Explain.rf.

“If a private clinic provides outpatient services and is registered in the register of the territorial compulsory health insurance fund, it can be treated under the CHI policy,” the report says.

Lists of such clinics are available on the websites of the territorial CHI funds. Thus, the addresses and names of all clinics providing services under compulsory medical insurance in the capital are indicated on site Moscow City Compulsory Medical Insurance Fund. There you can to knowwhat services can be obtained in Moscow within the framework of the CHI program.

The list of medical institutions that are included in the CHI system is regularly updated. To clarify whether it is possible to attach to a particular clinic, you can contact your health insurance organization (its address and phone number are indicated on the back of the CHI policy) or at the clinic itself.

To attach to the selected medical institution, you need to pay a personal visit there and write an application, as well as provide data (sometimes originals and copies) of your passport, medical policy and SNILS number.

The application must be considered within 12 days.

“Neither public nor private clinics can refuse to attach due to registration in another region or city. At the same time, you can change the clinic for compulsory medical insurance once a year, more often only when you change your place of residence, ”the message on Explain.rf says.

If you were denied attachment or provision of medical assistance under the CHI program for no reason, you can file a complaint with your insurance company, Roszdravnadzor or the League of Patient Defenders.
