Condition of health insurance and payment

In case of presenting EU insurance card (blue), no payment is required (not valid in requested tests for ERASMUS and other institutions like MRSA test, titres of antibodies against hepatitis…)

Students from EU without Euro Insurance card or non-EU students must pay for the examination and only than they can ask their insurance company for repayment.

The doctor responsible for following medical care is Dr. Rachel White

• Students must first visit the Department for Foreigners - Information Center located in the gatehouse of the main entrance of the hospital on Šrobárova street (everyone speaks english there). If students come without this form, they will not be admitted. You must have proper identification and insurance card with you. Maps and location info are located below.
