Today we can already say for sure that the forecasts made by epidemiologists have been confirmed: in the summer of 2013, unprecedented tick activity was observed in some Siberian regions . These insects are not only a source of encephalitis, but also many other, no less dangerous diseases, such as typhus, borreliosis, etc. From them, doctors have not yet been able to create vaccinations, therefore, preventive measures to combat such ailments are not provided.
This explains the tick insurance that is becoming increasingly important.
At first glance, this sounds somewhat paradoxical, but many residents of problem areas and regions have already turned to this opportunity to minimize the risk of the consequences of meeting this insect.
Today, tick insurance is issued in almost any large company. Its essence is quite simple: everyone wants to buy a special policy, usually for a period of twelve months. If during this period he was bitten by this blood-sucking insect, then the insured must immediately contact the medical institution indicated in the contract. There he receives appropriate assistance. The only condition is that you have a passport with you (as evidence that tick insurance is specifically for the injured person).
If for some reason a person is very far from the clinic obliged to serve him, then he can go to the nearest medical center, paying there for assistance. And the company, after submitting an invoice for the services rendered to it, reimburses all costs.
In addition, tick insurance provides for the whole range of measures to prevent the development of dangerous encephalitis.
Many large companies today collect tick insurance, which allows you to significantly save money.
The traditional months of the surge in this disease are May and June. This is the time of mass trips to the nature of the urban population. That is why protection against ticks is especially relevant in this period.
Many people prefer to put on special suits when going to the forest, some take special protective equipment, including tick mites, for a picnic, and some get vaccinated with the onset of summer.
The course of this preventive measure consists of three paid injections.
Having made the simplest and most superficial calculations, you can make sure that tick insurance is much more profitable than vaccination fees, purchase of protective equipment, etc.
The cost of the policy in many companies varies within two hundred rubles for adults and one hundred and fifty for children.
At the same time, the list of services provided by the tick-borne program includes not only removal of the tick itself with a bite and its examination in the laboratory for a virus, but also emergency vaccination with an immunoglobulin injection.
And when infected with encephalitis or Lyme disease, immediately after an emergency prevention, hospitalization with an appropriate set of all diagnostic measures and medical procedures is supposed. All this without insurance is expensive.
