Specialized medical care is such services that a citizen of our country who needs medical care can count on if he has a disease from a certain list. Assistance is expected including high-tech, using the most modern tools and approaches, equipment and drugs. It can be counted on in the diagnosis and treatment of pathologies using medical technologies that require impressive investments and resources. Our citizens have access, including unique technologies.
Appearances and passwords
Specialized medical care is a service whose responsibility lies with specialists in specific medical fields. This applies only to doctors working in a strictly defined number of institutions providing thematic services to the population. These organizations are not only medical, but also involved in the prevention of a variety of pathologies.
Specialized medical care is the services of medical institutions, which all citizens of our country can count on. The system also includes some other organizations responsible for health protection, including the municipal level. There are several private institutions - all of them have previously obtained a license in the prescribed form and can legally provide medical services to the population from the specialized class. Such activities require a special permit.
Who should
Specialized medical care is a complex that a person can count on if he needs to finally formulate a diagnosis, while it is clear that the course of the disease is atypical, and the therapeutic program currently practiced does not give a result. Also, such services can be provided if repeated courses of treatment do not show a good result either, but doctors justifiably argue that the use of more modern approaches will achieve a positive effect. This applies to surgical interventions and the provision of medical services using the most modern and sophisticated technology.
You can go to the center of specialized medical care if surgical intervention is necessary, but its carrying out is associated with an increased risk of complications provoked not only by the main pathology, but also by additional ones identified in a particular patient. Patients who need re-hospitalization can count on assistance under such a program if recommended by a federal government agency.
When else?
The current laws established that the provision of specialized medical care should be provided if the case is considered difficult to diagnose and additional measures are required to complete the work on the formulation of the situation. Similar conditions apply to the comprehensive preparation for surgical intervention, if the patient's condition is complicated by additional factors, concomitant pathologies.
If it is assumed that the only effective therapy in a particular case is surgical intervention using especially modern and accurate technology, then the organization of specialized medical care to identify all aspects and characteristics of a particular patient is a preliminary preparatory stage.
How to find out the details?
In our country, a special medical care order has been issued that applies to all subjects and regions. It follows that in state institutions included in the list of those responsible for this type of medical services, the staff is obligated to provide information on the service to all citizens who apply in a timely manner. Data must be transmitted immediately during the application of the applicant or his representative.
Equally important is the financial aspect. As defined by law, all information about the health care of specialized medical care should be transmitted to interested parties absolutely free of charge, and it is prohibited by law to take money for this. Not only citizens of our country can count on this, but also persons who have the citizenship of another power or do not have any at all.
How to get the?
Currently, specialized medical care for children and adults is provided only if the person concerned complies with the letter of the law. In particular, it is necessary to provide a complete list of the documentation specified in the regulations, otherwise the medical institution simply does not have the right to place the applicant on the list of those to whom the service will be provided.
It is mandatory to present a copy of the direction prescribed by the doctor for special assistance. In this paper, doctors indicate information about the state of human health, mention what diagnostic measures were carried out, what therapeutic methods were used and what results it brought. A pathology profile is also mentioned. In some cases, there is no profile information. It is likely that the applicant does not even have a referral. If this is not available, but the service is required, you must contact the responsible institution for details of participation in the program.
What can be added?
Normally, all types of specialized medical care established by applicable law are provided to applicants in the presence or absence of a referral, but the need for timely assistance is obvious. At the same time, the tendency of many institutions in the state toward bureaucracy encourages applicants to collect additional documentation to draw attention to their case: the more pieces of paper, the more serious the situation.
In accordance with the current standards of specialized medical care, additional documentation support may include:
- compulsory medical insurance policy;
- SNILS;
- documentation, from which the authority of the representative of the person in need of the service follows;
- documentation confirming the identity of the representative.
Normative acts
The procedure and rules for the provision of specific medical services are stipulated in the order issued by the Ministry of Health seven years ago. The document was released in April under the number 243n. It also discloses the financing aspects of institutions providing this type of medical service.
It is officially indicated that in some cases on the territory of a particular subject there may be a lack of funding opportunities for medical facilities that can provide special services to the population. In such a situation, citizens in need of therapeutic, diagnostic, and surgical assistance can turn to institutions located in other regions, as well as to other federal health care organizations and various medical organizations that have the appropriate capabilities, technical capabilities, and qualified personnel.
When to pay, when not?
The order of the Ministry of Health states that special assistance can be not only free, but also provided on the money of private individuals, any interested organizations. An option that does not require payment must satisfy the requirements of a federal program that considers aspects of state guarantees to individual citizens of a state in relation to medical care. In this case, financing is organized from specific thematic budgets collected under the mandatory fund insurance program.
High tech to help people
High-tech - this is such a special assistance service, which involves the use of the most complex techniques, often unique approaches. The methods that are used in the framework of such a study are resource intensive. An important condition for including technology in the high-tech list is the proven effectiveness of its use, which should be confirmed not only by clinical trials, but also by scientific calculations.
One of the important areas of high-tech special assistance is cell development. No less significant is the other recent promotion - robotic technology. The latest information technologies, approaches of the genetic modification, engineering, accessible to the scientific community, are actively used. In a word, more or less developed methods are used, created in the framework of medical science and related industries.
Some specific documents
In some cases, the provision of special assistance is possible if the applicant has a referral, within which he must go to a planned hospitalization. Such a paper can be signed by a treating doctor, for whom a sick person’s living area is assigned. In some cases, paper is prescribed by other doctors who have the right to do so in accordance with their official duties, if the patient addresses them directly.
If the consultation is carried out in absentia, then you can get special services in a medical institution if you have a special protocol confirming that the commission selected this candidate from the entire list of patients. If a citizen with a disability seeks medical help, an ITU certificate must be attached to the general package of documents.
Additional official papers
In most modern medical institutions, the applicant will be asked to provide a copy of the passport pages confirming registration information, as well as personal data (including a photograph). If a representative of a minor patient who is under 14 years old and for this reason does not yet have a passport seeks help, it is worthwhile to provide a birth certificate to take a copy from him, and the parent will need to present an identification document where the child is entered. When contacting the guardian, you should have a certificate with you confirming the guardianship, as well as documentation identifying the person (passport).
It will not be superfluous to attend to the execution of an extract from a medical record so that there are no additional questions. It is worth remembering that indications for hospitalization in accordance with the plan are primarily the responsibility of the doctor for whom the area where the patient is registered is assigned.
What to count on?
On the territory of each federal subject, documents are annually adopted that state the scope of financing for special programs. Accordingly, it can be expected that the compulsory medical insurance will cover the costs of treatment that meet the standards specified in such documentation. If this limit is exceeded, you will probably have to pay extra from your own funds or ask for help from any organization. In addition to current standards for the current year, planning documents are also regularly adopted. This allows patients to navigate their ability to receive free treatment in the near future.
