What is health insurance?
Medical insurance is one of the types of personal insurance, which is currently voluntary in Ukraine. Every year, the cost of treatment services increases. However, the issued insurance will allow you to minimize any health expenses. That is, the owner of a medical policy protects his budget from unplanned medical expenses and receives a certain list of additional benefits. Any illness or accident will not hit your pocket hard.
What risks does health insurance cover?
The insured person can receive money if he falls ill, temporarily loses his ability to work, or is diagnosed with disability. There is also extended life insurance, which covers expenses in the event of the death of the insured person.
The basic health insurance program includes:
• diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation in case of illness;
• insurance against injuries (including sports), acute poisoning, burns of various degrees of severity, animal bites, frostbite;
• emergency medical care, including calling an ambulance and in a hospital;
• laboratory diagnostics (analyses), including for COVID-19;
• preventive measures (physiotherapy, physical therapy);
• emergency dental care;
• selection of drugs during illness.
What are the benefits of voluntary health insurance?
Depending on the chosen insurance policy, you can get many advantages:
• emergency medical assistance 24/7 in any corner of Ukraine and/or abroad;
• round-the-clock online support;
• doctor's consultation (including online) and diagnostics in medical institutions without queues;
• calling a private ambulance in emergency situations;
• ordering and home delivery of medicines;
• ease of registration - online in a few minutes.
What is the term of the contract and its cost?
The contract can be signed for a period from 1 to 12 months. The cost is calculated individually and depends on the provided list of insurance risks, the age of patients and a number of features.
