What is the difference between Comprehensive Health Insurance of Foreign Nationals and Insurance of Necessary and Urgent Care of Foreign Nationals?

Comprehensive health insurance for foreigners is intended mainly for those who are staying in the Czech Republic for a long period of time and are interested in comprehensive medical care in contracted medical facilities, usually without direct payment of treatment fees. It is possible to take out additional insurance for pregnancy and childbirth under this insurance. Necessary and urgent care insurance covers only acute treatment and is mainly sought by those who plan to stay in the Czech Republic for up to 3 months.

Are there any situations not covered by this insurance?

This insurance cannot be applied in the case of so-called medical tourism (i.e. deliberate travel to the Czech Republic for the purpose of receiving medical care) at the moment when the individual is a participant of the public health insurance of the Czech Republic, and it cannot be applied to illnesses and accidents that occurred before the conclusion of the insurance contract, except for the Exclusive variant, which is not subject to this restriction. Furthermore, the insurance does not cover procedures that are not medically or legally accepted, nor does it cover damage caused intentionally, damage caused by a violation of a medical procedure or in the case of fault or complicity. The insurance does not cover damages (accidents are an exception) resulting from the ingestion of alcohol, drugs and other psychotropic substances, physiotherapy treatment that is not necessary to eliminate immediate health complications, and cosmetic and aesthetic operations that are not part of the treatment.

Liability insurance of foreign nationals is part of comprehensive health insurance of foreign nationals. Who is this insurance intended for and what does it cover?

Is a foreign national obliged to have health insurance taken out in the Czech Republic?

Yes, he is. There are two types of insurance a foreign national may choose from: public health insurance or commercial health insurance. The Czech public health insurance applies to persons irrespective of nationality with a permanent address in the Czech Republic and to persons without a permanent address in the Czech Republic, but employed with a company seated in the Czech Republic. If a person does not meet either of the conditions, he must arrange commercial health insurance. Both types of insurance are eligible for the issuance of visa.
