By Dmitry Vasenyov


Health insurance as a method of state's protection of patient's rights to good treatment and protection of own health goes back to ancient times.

Compulsory medical insurance - is state-guaranteed package of arrangements of inhabitants' and their families' tangible security in the case of malady, disability, in senility; health protection of mothers with children, etc.

Voluntary health insurance assures payment for medical services concerned directly to healing. Moreover, many various programs are proposed to the insured person - at choice. Some of them imply medical insurance of stand and temporal disability or the need for rehabilitation; some proposals can even contain such items as payment for sports and recreation services and joining a healthy lifestyle.

Compulsory health insurance has some positive features for inhabitants, such as:

- Access to medical care not only in the place of permanent residence, but on the whole territory of the state;

- Working citizens are secured by policy of mandatory health insurance since the signing a service contract with them. And those are not just words, but rule of law, guaranteed by the government.

The drawback of mandatory medical insurance is that it covers not all types of therapeutic and prophylactic medical services that may be needed for the inhabitant.

Voluntary health insurance has its advantages too. One of the most pleasant of them - is freedom of choice. The insurer draws up the program by himself and chooses the medical organizations from the offered ones. In this case, the insurer advises you on all questions, but the word of the insured is crucial.

An important nuance can be time economy provided by the voluntary health insurance. You do not have to look for a good medical facility or jostle in queues at the door of a medical cabinet. The owner of the policy is able to visit the most popular medical facilities included in a specific insurance program.

Voluntary health insurance involves a significant monetary savings: the policy holder will not have unnecessary medication. The insured person who has paid the policy for the entire term of its action is assured from the tariff increase for medical services.
