How to Use Your VHI Policy?
|
Study the contract carefully
|
|
Check which clinics are part of your insurance network (a list is usually attached to the contract). These can be both state clinics and private medical centers.
|
|
If you get sick, call first
|
|
Do not go to a clinic without first calling your insurance company. Dial the number provided in your policy. The coordinator will tell you which specific clinic to go to and will schedule an appointment for you. If you seek care without a prior call, the service may be denied, or you might have to pay out-of-pocket and then wait for reimbursement.

Chronic conditions
|
|
If you have a chronic condition, you can enter into a service agreement directly with UKB 4 of Sechenov University.

Important Information About Dentistry!
Most standard VHI policies only cover emergency dentistry (relief of acute pain, treatment of acute inflammation)
Routine dental care (fillings, cleanings, prosthetics) is almost always paid for separately
Be sure to clarify this point with your insurance company
A VHI policy is your key to accessible and high-quality medical care in Russia. Choose a program that suits your needs and always read the contract carefully. Stay healthy and successful in your studies
