In our country, there is a compulsory medical insurance procedure for everyone. Medical assistance will be free if there is a document that reflects the fact of state insurance specifically for you. At the time of making an appointment with a doctor in clinics, it is necessary to indicate the series and the number of the compulsory medical insurance policy. Having a paper policy on hand is not necessary: you just need to know the identification data. Below you will find the answer to where the MMI policy number is indicated.
Old and new policy
The MHI policy is a guarantee that you will be provided with free medical care, regardless of residence in the entire Russian Federation. For a long time, the policy was a semblance of evidence (many still remember those yellow books) and was reissued almost every year. On each was indicated the number and series of the MHI policy. In 2011, a new format of policies was approved, which is not expected to be changed in the future.
But now, in addition to the paper version, it can be obtained in a plastic format. The MHI policy number of the new sample is indicated on the card - this is a sequence of 16 digits.
Differences between old and new designs
In fact, when in 2011 they began issuing new policies, many aspects became simpler. Firstly, now there is no need to change the policy at the request of the insurance company, due to the fact that its validity is unlimited. Secondly, a person can take advantage of medical care anywhere in Russia. Thirdly, and this follows from the second point: now, when moving, you do not need to change the policy. Fourthly, foreign citizens can apply for the policy, with the only difference being that the policy is valid until the foreign citizen leaves the country. Fifth, now you can get the policy in a convenient, plastic format.
The owner of the compulsory medical insurance can rely on outpatient, inpatient and emergency care from state medical institutions. You can get a list of services for free, enshrined in the relevant law on health insurance, by making an appointment with the right doctor. Now, to record in the clinic, you need to know the number of the MHI policy of a new sample.
How to make out
The policy procedure is simplified to a minimum. You must choose the company in which you want to insure yourself, collect documents (SNILS and passport), write a statement with the insurance company, get a temporary policy in your hands immediately, and after a while (usually 1 month) get a permanent policy.
Companies providing such services are listed on the MHIF website. They are sorted by rating, which simplifies the selection. It is necessary to give copies of the passport and SNILS to the insurance company. The application is filled out on a form issued at this institution, and you will also have to fill out a short form. After that, the agent issues a temporary ODS policy, which can be used as a permanent one. After a month, you need to appear in the office and pick up the original. Thus, the duration of this case will take about 20 minutes.
Type of policy. Where is the OMS policy number indicated
Appearance of different insurance companies - a single sample: A5 format, on the back side are made notes on the change of insurance organization. The main claim to the new format arises as to where the MMI policy number is indicated. On a plastic card, the policy number is indicated on the front of the card - this is a 16-digit code.
In the old format, in addition to the number, the series of the policy is indicated. For this reason, some people have a dissonance - remembering that they previously indicated the series and number, and now only the number remains. In non-updated software so far, this is especially obvious. The policy is issued in a single copy. With the loss of CHI, it can be obtained again.
The article touches on the main points on which questions arise when using a new policy: what are the differences, how to get it and where is the number of the compulsory medical insurance policy.
