Why do you need a digital policy and how to obtain it?

Currently, the world is undergoing a wide transformation of all sectors, including healthcare.

What is a digital compulsory medical insurance policy

A digital CHI policy is a unique number in the form of a barcode that contains personal data about the insured person and is stored in the unified register of insured persons (ERZL).

For newborns, digital CHI policies are generated automatically based on a birth certificate. It also contains information about the legal representatives of the child, most often these are the parents. It is they who must choose the insurance medical organization for the child.

You can get a digital policy without leaving your home – on the Gosuslugi portal (6+) (if you have a verified account). If you do not use the “Gosuslugi” – contact the medical insurance organization or the MFC.
