Citizens will be able to receive the necessary medical services in the places of actual residence within the compulsory medical insurance, which was launched in 2020 in Azerbaijan, Chairman of Board of Azerbaijan’s State Agency for Compulsory Medical Insurance Zaur Aliyev said.

There are such cases when a citizen, being officially registered at the place of residence in one district of the country, actually lives in other district in connection with employment or other reasons, the chairman noted.
In such situations, it is necessary to undergo temporary registration at the place of actual residence in the Interior Ministry and submit a reference to the State Agency for Compulsory Medical Insurance, Aliyev said.
Afterwards, the specified information is registered in the electronic database of the agency and a person may receive the necessary medical services envisaged by the package of services within the compulsory medical insurance, added the chairman.

If a citizen comes to a medical institution located in another administrative territory within the medical territorial zone to get medical services on an outpatient basis without a family doctor’s referral, then a citizen must pay the amount of co-financing worth five manat ($2) for each insured event.
