Ukrainians can take out health insurance online even while abroad. How to do it?
Medical insurance is the key to a peaceful stay outside of Ukraine, because the cost of medical services for non-residents abroad is very high.
Before the start of the full-scale war, travel insurance was mandatory when traveling to other countries, but now this document is not required at the border. Also, most countries that accept refugees provide them with access to medical services. With these facts in mind, it may seem that health insurance is unnecessary. Find out why this is NOT the case.
EU countries are gradually limiting the period of free insurance provided. The Czech Republic and Bulgaria have already informed refugees of the need to pay for insurance services themselves, previously these costs were covered from the state budget.
Experts say that, on average, medical insurance in European countries for refugees is issued for up to 5 months. That is, if a person arrived in the EU at the beginning of the war, then the validity period of his insurance has already expired. Therefore, we advise you to check the term of provision of free medical services in the country where you currently live.
What to do if your insurance is no longer valid?
You should take out insurance online, because it is fast and safe. You will receive the policy by email, and it will have the same legal force as its counterpart on paper. Also, the advantages of obtaining insurance in Ukraine include moderate prices in Ukrainian companies.
You should also not worry about the possibility of receiving payments in the event of an insurance event, because the state of war did not affect these processes in any way. Ukrainian insurance companies are faced with insurance cases almost every day.
It is also not necessary to come to Ukraine to apply for payment. Everything can be done remotely and receive money on your UAH card.
Therefore, an insurance policy is a guarantee of your safety and peaceful stay outside of Ukraine. In order to protect yourself from troubles abroad and to be calm for yourself and your loved ones, Visit Ukraine recommends not to delay and take out medical insurance online. To do this, follow the link.
