Sooner or later everyone has to seek help from a doctor. Sometimes it is necessary to contact the municipal clinic. In order for the doctors to receive you, you need to attach to their medical institution.
Why do I need to attach to the clinic?
We are all sick, and it is not always possible to visit a private clinic. Therefore, in case of malaise, you have to go to the municipal.

In order to make an appointment at a state clinic, you need to attach to it. In principle, you can choose any, but the best option would be a clinic at the address of residence. Why? Because sometimes you need to call a doctor to your home, and the doctor will not agree to come to a neighboring area, he has enough workload in his own.

How to attach to a polyclinic in Moscow for a nonresident citizen?

Not everyone knows that it is quite possible to be treated in a Moscow clinic without registering in the city. A nonresident citizen residing in Moscow must visit a clinic close to the place of his actual residence and be assigned to it. This should be done if only because many social benefits are possible for those people who have only a temporary residence permit. Nonresident residents can attach themselves to the clinic on the same grounds on which people who have a permanent residence permit can do this. Registrar employees may require a certificate of employment, documents on the rental of a dwelling, even a copy of the passport of a citizen who has a nonresident resident. Many clinics even do not hesitate to post the list on their official website, although it often contains “extra” documents. These requirements are illegal. So clinics are trying to deal with congestion without having a legal right to do so. There is only one difference in the procedure of attaching to the clinic for citizens registered in other cities. They are attached to the clinic for a period of one year. Then they will have to repeat the procedure again.
What do nonresident citizens who are denied medical care without registration or require additional documents?
A nonresident citizen in respect of whom such illegal actions are carried out may recall the law that describes the procedure for providing medical assistance under the compulsory medical insurance policy or specify whether it should be attached through the health department. It is highly unlikely that reception staff will send a nonresident patient there. Their demands are illegal, and municipal polyclinics are very afraid of complaints from this department. If the registry staff in this case also refused to attach to the clinic after providing the necessary documents by law, you should go to the head doctor or to the head of the clinic. They do not have the right to refuse. If the ambulance refused to provide emergency care without registration, then this is a criminal offense and you need to contact the law enforcement agencies.
How to attach to a clinic in Moscow to citizens who have a residence permit?
Those citizens who have permanent registration should do the following:
- Find where your local health center is located at and live in.
- Find out if you’re automatically attached to the clinic. This sometimes happens.
- Provide a passport, policy, TIN, insurance certificate in the pension insurance system, photocopies of all these documents. Of course, the originals will not need to be given. They are needed only for presentation.
- Fill out the application in accordance with the established model. Registry staff should introduce it to you.
According to the law, district clinics in Moscow must independently engage in the attachment and detachment of citizens. However, in fact, this process can drag on for up to two weeks. If you need to quickly apply to another clinic (for example, in case of moving), it is advisable to independently go to the district office at the place of residence, fill out an application for attachment and visit all the authorities that are necessary to obtain the necessary documents. Too many clinics give their patients the opportunity to join online, on their official website on the Internet.

How to attach to a children's clinic?
The child is attached to the children's clinic, which is located at the place of residence of the parents, and all necessary actions are also performed by the parent. In the event that the parents are not registered in the city of residence, up to three months the child is served by a clinic at their actual place of residence. Maternity hospital employees call doctors, and they go to the child’s house. Then the child must be prescribed in the city, because without a residence permit, he will not be issued a policy, and this document is required to perform very many actions. Or you can go to the place of registration of the parents, register the child there and get a policy on it there. In addition, you can consult only in paid clinics, but this is not available to everyone.
If we talk about the penalty for late registration of a child, then in different cities there are completely different situations, but in fact, the sooner the child is registered, the better.
How to disconnect from the clinic and how often can this be done?
In accordance with federal law, it is possible to change the medical organization that provides primary medical care no more than once a year. You need to think carefully before doing this. As already mentioned, help at home in the presence of medical indications will be provided by the old clinic, not the new one. The new clinic can only be visited. In addition, for attaching to the clinic out of place of actual residence, you need to contact her administration and perform a number of other actions. They are presented below:
- You must send an application for attachment with your name, date and place of birth, insurance policy number, full name and address of the clinic to which you are attached at the time of application, the reasons for choosing a clinic not at the place of residence.
- When applying, you must provide the original passport and medical insurance policy.
- Then you need to wait for an answer. The reason for the refusal can be only one - overcrowding in the clinic.
- If you receive a notification of acceptance for medical care in the selected clinic, you need to contact its registry. There should be issued an absentee ballot.
- Next, you need to fill out this coupon and take it to the head doctor for signature.
- Then you should go to the old clinic so that they de-register you.
- From there, the administration will send a copy of the medical records to the clinic that accepted the application.
After performing these steps, you can visit the municipal clinic, which is not located in your place of residence, but where it is simply more convenient to go. For example, near a place of work or study.
