Rules for accessing medical services under the Medical Guarantees Programare the same for everyone, regardless of social or financial status.

All medical services purchased by NHSU under the Medical Guarantees Program arecompletely free for patients, including medicines and consumables.

Access to most free servicesis provided through a declaration with a primary care physician: a family doctor, general practitioner, or pediatrician for children. If necessary, the doctor will create an electronic referral to a specialist, for examinations, or other procedures. With this referral, the patient can freely choose the medical facility for the examination or treatment.

However, an electronic referral is not requiredfor:

• Emergency medical care
• Visits to a gynecologist, psychiatrist, narcologist, dentist, phthisiatrist, pediatrician, or a doctor monitoring a chronic condition

Every year, the list of free medical services is detailed and expanded in the interest of patients.
