Health insurance for foreigners from Maxima insurance company complies with the law

By law, every foreigner who legally resides in the Czech Republic or the Schengen area must have health insurance.

Maxima insurance company offers to foreigners two basic health insurance products. Comprehensive Health Insurance is intended for long-term stays and Insurance of Necessary and Urgent Care of Foreigners is typically purchased for 90 days. Both Maxima products comply with the requirements of Act No. 326/1999 Coll., on the residence of foreigners in the Czech Republic, and have long been recognised by both the foreign police and health facilities.

The foreign police checks whether the insured person’s policy is valid and paid directly in Maxima’s systems. The directorate of the foreign police can view the database of insured persons, ensuring there can be no issues with compliance with the law. This applies both to contracts arranged by our partners licensed by the Czech National bank and to online contracts that clients receive by e-mail immediately after payment.
