What do you need to travel to a health resort? Who is entitled to a free ticket to the sanatorium? Who is entitled to free sanatorium treatment at the expense of the federal budget

Every citizen has the right to receive a free voucher for health improvement. Russian Federation who has retired. It is enshrined in a number of federal laws and orders. But only a few use it. Firstly, not all pensioners know that they have the right to undergo free spa treatment, and secondly, not everyone wants to spend time “knocking out” this voucher, because, what can I say, sometimes you have to run, to get it. So how can a pensioner get a free ticket to a sanatorium?

Can all pensioners receive such referrals for free?

for veterans of the Great Patriotic War and other hostilities;
for invalids;
for residents besieged Leningrad and a number of other preferential categories.

As for pensioners who are not included in any of these categories, for them the only indispensable condition for obtaining a free voucher is a referral by a doctor confirming the need for health procedures. By the way, such free directions can be issued not only to pensioners, but also to working Russians who need additional medical care after hospital treatment. In this case, the procedure for obtaining a voucher and the list of diseases giving the right to it are regulated by regional legislative acts.

How to get a ticket: step by step instructions

In polyclinics, doctors only in rare cases they themselves recommend their elderly patients to go to a sanatorium for treatment and write appropriate recommendations. Usually you have to ask them about it. Therefore, the first step in obtaining a referral should be a visit to your general practitioner at the clinic in your area of residence.

The local therapist must confirm that the health of the pensioner requires attention and care. He prescribes a series of tests, bypassing other doctors, in order to then make recommendations about necessary procedures. Based on the results of the examination, the medical commission issues a certificate of a special form (070 / U-04), which describes the person’s diseases, recommendations for his treatment and, accordingly, what specialization of the sanatorium he needs. Certificate is valid for 6 months. During this period, the pensioner needs to either get a ticket or re-register the document. The certificate itself does not give the right to undergo sanatorium treatment, but is a confirmation for social authorities. If a person has a disability, they may also be asked to obtain an opinion medical and social expertise to determine what are the contraindications for treatment.
Then we go to the local branch of organs social protection. You need to take a certificate, passport, SNILS, pension and other certificates that give benefits with you (you need to take both originals and photocopies of important pages of documents so that later you don’t have to urgently look for where the copier works). Some regions also require a certificate of the amount of the pension and work book, other references from pension fund. We write a statement, a sample of which we ask to show to the authorities, and a refusal of material compensation for this benefit (perhaps, instead of a voucher, monetary compensation is added to his pension every year). By the way, both the pensioner himself and his legal representative can apply. Within 10 days after submitting the application, the pensioner must be informed by telephone of the queue number for receiving a subsidized voucher or refuse to issue it.
If the decision of the social authorities is positive, it remains to wait for the turn. I must say that it can move rather slowly, since not all regions successfully cope with the issuance of vouchers. You can wait for your turn from several months to several years. When, nevertheless, the voucher is on hand, you need to issue a sanatorium-resort book or certificate (in the form 072 / y) in the same clinic at the place of residence with your doctor, which will indicate recommendations for treatment. The book is valid only if it is received no earlier than 2 months before the trip, it can be issued almost before the trip itself, since according to the law it is issued to pensioners out of turn, clinics must know about this and comply with the requirements of the law. Without a book in the sanatorium will not accept. It should be noted that the voucher may not provide for the issuance by the sanatorium of medicines necessary for treatment. You should ask your doctor about this and, if necessary, get medicines in advance. The voucher itself must be with all seals and marks of payment at the expense of the budget. Tear-off voucher and sanatorium card never throw away or lose. Upon returning home, the first one will have to be submitted to the social security authorities within a month, and the second one - to the clinic where the card was issued.
We take the same package of documents with us to the sanatorium, as well as a medical policy that will be needed for the implementation of medical and preventive procedures. Disabled people of the first group have the right to demand a second free ticket for one accompanying person..

A subsidized voucher can cover not only the cost of living in a sanatorium and undergoing wellness procedures, but also the cost of tickets for ground transport, and sometimes air (only economy class). If this was not initially provided for by the voucher, there should be the possibility of subsequent reimbursement by the state of expenses, but only if the tickets and coupons are preserved.

How long does the treatment in the sanatorium last?

According to the legislation, a pensioner can purchase such a voucher no more than once a year. But there are exceptions, and if a person needs qualified health improvement more than once a year, the state is obliged to give him such an opportunity.

The duration of treatment is usually calculated for a period of 18 to 24 days. It depends on the disease of the pensioner, medical advice, the specifics of the sanatorium. The period may be longer, up to 42 days, if we are talking about the treatment of people who have received a disability as a result of injuries of the spinal cord or brain.

How is a spa defined?

In any case, a pensioner should not wait for a ticket abroad. Directions are issued in sanatoriums on the territory of the Russian Federation and usually in those districts or regions that are nearby or adjacent to the pensioner's permanent residence. Although this is not required condition. Under the subsidized program, you can visit Sochi, Crimea, and Altai. Everything will depend on the diseases that the pensioner suffers from. For example, people with illnesses are sent to Sochi gastrointestinal tract or skin because local mineral springs are an excellent remedy for combating many diseases of these categories. And in the Crimea, all conditions have been created, which cannot be said about Sochi, for the treatment of respiratory diseases (Crimean air even helps in the treatment of tuberculosis patients). Most often, they are sent there in the autumn, winter and spring, because in the summer everything is already full there.

Not all resorts are open to ordinary pensioners. Many health institutions owned by large commercial companies or government agencies, and you can get there either on a paid basis, or by vouchers from your enterprises and trade unions. Subsidized vouchers are given only to those sanatoriums that have entered into an agreement with the Fund social insurance.

Vouchers for military pensioners

Military pensioners, as well as reserve officers (who have served at least 20 years on a preferential basis), also need to first get a certificate from medical commission and the conclusion of the medical and social expertise. Further, the procedure for obtaining a ticket may differ slightly.

Preferential vouchers for military pensioners are issued directly at the Ministry of Defense, where a special department for sanatorium treatment has been created. Therefore, you need to apply with an application and a certificate from doctors to the Main Military Medical Directorate of the Ministry of Defense or immediately to the military sanatorium where the pensioner plans to be treated. Such vouchers, however, are not completely free, but they provide an opportunity to save: the military, as well as the widows of the military, pay 25 percent of the real value. According to the order of the Ministry of Defense, benefits are also provided to members of military families (wives, children under 18 or 23, if children study at a university on a full-time basis, years). They pay half the real cost. There is also a category of former military personnel who receive vouchers for free.

It is worth noting that sometimes commercial organizations provide pensioners with significant discounts on health improvement, up to 50, and sometimes more percent of the cost of the tour.

So, it was decided: we send the child to a sanatorium. What are we doing? It is clear that buying a ticket is not difficult - there would be money. However, do not rush. Why pay extra if it is possible to improve your health at the state expense? There are several options to make sure. In order to issue a ticket, you must fit into the preferential category or meet several conditions for obtaining it. General Conditions No, and each situation must be considered separately. Depending on which category of citizens you belong to, in order to receive a referral to a sanatorium for a child, you must have medical or other indications. According to Russian legislation, every child has the right to a recreational holiday. For those who did not know this or knew, but did not understand how to get a referral to a sanatorium and where to go, and what to do, we have compiled a clear instruction.

Free referral to a health resort

So, look at article 12 federal law No. 124-FZ "On Basic Guarantees of the Rights of the Child in the Russian Federation". According to this law, any Russian child can go on vacation. But parents should get in line in advance and collect required documents. The number of tickets is limited. At the same time, it should be borne in mind that the law is one, but each region of the Russian Federation executes it in its own way. Of course, there are General requirements. They will be discussed.

Who gets a free referral to a sanatorium?

A referral to a sanatorium from a polyclinic is primarily given to those children who have health problems and fewer opportunities to relax for money. That is:

disabled people;
orphans;
sick children and children after surgery;
children from large, low-income and single-parent families.
A preschooler or a child who needs to be cared for may be accompanied by a Mother and Child chaperone. As the name suggests, mom can always go. Dads, grandmothers, aunts and other adults here must be specified in a particular sanatorium or camp.

Huge queues for free tickets?

Not certainly in that way. Enrolling a child in a camp or sanatorium is a bureaucratic procedure. Some parents do not know about it, others do not want to understand it. Therefore, you may well get a ticket for free, which others were too lazy to issue. But, of course, in the summer the competition is much higher. It is better to settle for spring, autumn or even winter holidays if you like the institution, its location and other conditions. Even if they tell you: “There is nothing”, still stand in line. Several vouchers in your area may become free. People change their plans or get paperwork wrong. Then the place is passed to the next.

How to get a referral to a sanatorium for a child for free

Almost all children who are attached to this institution. They mainly distribute vouchers to general sanatoriums and sanatoriums specializing in a number of diseases. As a rule, information about the availability of preferential vouchers is posted near the information desk or at the reception desk, on the door of the pediatrician's office. If you have not seen anything similar, do not be too lazy to ask your local doctor or the head of the clinic about the availability of vouchers. Often, the staff in district clinics is simply too lazy to inform citizens about the availability of preferential vouchers.

Did you find the right ticket? You should:

fill out an application for a ticket;
issue a sanatorium card from the pediatrician (form No. 076 / y);
get a certificate from a dermatologist about the absence of contagious skin diseases and a certificate of contacts from a pediatrician (the results of an analysis for enterobiosis are attached to it) - taken on the day/day before departure;
get a ticket:

If the baby has moved serious illness or surgery, he often needs rehabilitation in a specialized sanatorium. In this case, parents are offered a ticket for the child right before discharge from the hospital. If you have not received a corresponding proposal, be sure to ask your attending physician or the head of the department about the possibility and need to send the child for recovery to a specialized sanatorium. If medical Center is unable to provide you with a preferential voucher, you must issue a conclusion on the need for such treatment and explain where and how you can get it. Documents that must be issued by the medical institution where your baby was treated: a sanatorium card, an extract from the medical history with recommendations + tests.
A ticket can be obtained at the branch of the Social Insurance Fund. True, in the first place they give preferential vouchers to disabled children. To do this, after receiving a referral from the attending physician for a sanatorium spa treatment or a conclusion about its necessity, you need to contact the local branch of the fund and register to receive a ticket. Persons accompanying disabled children are also entitled to one discounted voucher. The term for consideration of applications is about 20 days. Simultaneously with receiving regional office fund spa voucher parents of babies are provided with special coupons for the right free travel on the train long distance to the place of treatment and back. Apart from health resort card you will need a document confirming that you have benefits: a certificate of disability, a certificate of a mother of many children, etc.
If the child is an orphan or has a disability, feel free to contact the department of social protection of the population at the place of residence. Experienced mothers advise, having registered, to get acquainted with your inspector and not skimp on a smile: establish normal human relations- you don't have to beg or demand due to the child san-kur, you will periodically "call" and offer vouchers, including "burning".

The following documents must be submitted to the Department of Social Protection of the Population:

statement established sample;
documents confirming social status child;
a medical report confirming the absence of contraindications to spa treatment, and a certificate from the children's clinic form 070 / y-04;
a copy of the birth certificate or passport of the child and his medical policy;
copies of parents' passports.

If the Lord has saved and the child has no health restrictions, that is, there are no chronic diseases, there is another option for obtaining a voucher - in the district council. Dial the number of the information board in your area and ask which phone to call to find out about the availability of vouchers for children. Babies 4-7 years old can be offered a family vacation with one of the parents in a boarding house or a sanatorium rest house (attention: a voucher to a sanatorium received through the government does not imply treatment - if you wish, you can buy a course on the spot, at your own expense). In this case, you need to “get involved” with the clinic only to obtain a certificate of vaccinations (form 079), valid for three months, and a certificate of contacts, which is taken immediately before departure. If the child is already 8 years old and has no health restrictions, the municipality may offer a ticket to children's health facilities, such as a camp, unaccompanied by parents. Each case has its own set of documents.

What documents are needed?

To queue up for a ticket, you will need:

statement;
a copy of the parent's passport;
information about the registration of the child at the place of residence;
certificate from medical institution, confirming the absence of contraindications for recreation in the sanatorium and resort center (if accompanied by an adult, the same for him);
referral for specific treatment.

For registration in a sanatorium or health Camp when the ticket is already in hand:

health resort card (taken from a pediatrician in a clinic after the results of the child's tests come);
certificate of absence of contact with infectious patients at the place of residence and in children's institution(at the pediatrician);
extract from the medical history;
certificate of epidemiological environment and vaccination calendar (from the school);
copies of the birth certificate and medical policy.

Some institutions may need some additional information. Check it out on the website or by phone. It is better to take tests when they already called you and said that they were giving a ticket. Results have a limited shelf life. Therefore, a situation may arise when a urine test, for example, is no longer valid, and you have not even been invited anywhere yet. Then you have to submit again. There are cases when the child has already reached the place of rest, and the parents send some certificate lost in a hurry or an updated result of the analysis by e-mail or fax. But it is better to have a complete set of documents on hand.

How to get a ticket faster?

You can buy a ticket, and then receive partial or full compensation for it. So you will have more chances to choose a place of rest and time of arrival. Documents for registration will need the same ones. Everyone is guaranteed compensation. But its size depends on the place of work of the parents, the type of camp, the category of benefits. For example, low-income and large families and families where parents do not work for health reasons can return the full cost. They receive compensation after arrival at the Social Insurance Fund. You can first check this with the authorities where the ticket was issued. To receive, you must provide:

statement;
original and copy of parent's passport;
birth certificate or passport of the child;
documents confirming the benefit (if you have one);
return ticket from the camp;
Bank account number.

One parent can receive compensation once a year.

How to get a referral to a sanatorium for a pregnant woman

It is realistic to issue a ticket during the period of expectation of a child if there are certain indications that may threaten miscarriage or serious problems with the health of both the mother and the unborn child. Another condition is the availability of a place of work, since the Social Security Fund pays for the restoration. In addition, a woman must spend 7 to 10 days in a hospital before receiving a referral. When referring to a hospital to maintain a pregnancy, it is best for you to ask your doctor at antenatal clinic at the place of residence, whether your case is suitable for subsequent aftercare at a specialized resort. To do this, it is enough to notify the doctor who will observe you at the maternity hospital and submit two certificates from the place of work stating that you are employed and about contributions to the Social Insurance Fund. It is also necessary to pass a commission in order to obtain a conclusion on the absence of contraindications. For example, most often refusal to referral comes due to excessive vomiting during toxicosis or gestosis (in this case, only a course of treatment in a hospital is required).

The legislation of Russia allocates a large number of so-called privileged categories of citizens. They are entitled to receive various kinds state aid.
