I have just taken out insurance of foreign nationals and want to pay for it via bank transfer. What are the payment details? 

The insurance premium pursuant to contracts concluded online can only be paid by card. Payment by bank transfer is required where insurance is taken out with partner branches. Please transfer the sum to the bank account number 209855325/0300; the transaction identification number is the number of your contract specified in the head of the contract. IBAN CZ59 0300 0000 0002 0985 5325 and SWIFT CEKOCZPP need to be completed in case of payments from countries other than the Czech Republic.

How shall I prove my insurance to the doctor?

The insured can prove his identity to a doctor through his insurance contract or the plastic card the issuance of which can be requested at any of the insurance company’s branches or with the licensed partner with whom the insurance has been concluded. Some contractual facilities are able to verify the validity of contract directly in the insurance company’s system. The contractual medical facility then charges the insurance company the cost of the provided medical treatment covered by the insurance.

What does 'coverage in transit countries' mean?

Transit means transportation of the insured from the place of his temporary stay to the state of which he is a national or where his stay has been permitted. The transportation of the insured to such a place must not take longer than 24 hours and must be substantiated by a travel document or proof of purchased fuels.

Are there any insurance benefits limits?

Yes, for Comprehensive Health Insurance, the minimum benefit limit is EUR 400,000 per claim. For Necessary and Urgent Care for Foreigners, the total benefit limit is EUR 60,000. It also includes necessary dental treatment with a limit of EUR 5,000 and repatriation costs must not exceed EUR 300,000 for Necessary and Urgent Care or EUR 400,000 for Comprehensive Insurance.

How does the investigation of insured events take place within the health insurance of foreign nationals?

If you have undergone treatment in any of Maxima’s contractual medical facilities, the medical facility shall invoice the cost directly to the insurance company – you pay nothing (except for dental treatment). For this reason, we recommend that you use solely contractual medical facilities. If you have visited another medical facility and have paid for the treatment in cash, you need to send the insurance company an original of the payment receipt, the medical report, the bank account number, and the completed Notification of an Insured Event under Health Insurance of Foreign Nationals. Then send these documents to lpu@maxima-as.cz or to the insurance company’s address Maxima pojišťovna a. s., likvidace pojistných událostí, Italská 1583/24, 120 00 Praha 2 – Vinohrady, or through your agent.

Yes, it can. Our health insurance of foreign nationals meets all legal requirements applicable to the permission of stay in the Czech Republic. 

I am going to the Czech Republic to work/study. Does health insurance of foreign nationals apply to work/study stays?

Yes, it does. This insurance will protect you during your study or work in the Czech Republic irrespective of the length of your stay. Comprehensive Insurance covers treatment of an illness or injury, repatriation, and preventive treatment.
