Important❗️
More than three unpaid contributions for the last three years lead to interruption of health insurance rights and suspension of access to free health services provided by the National Health Insurance Fund. Statutory interest is charged on overdue contributions.
For those admitted to a university abroad.
If you will be a student abroad, you must provide a document certifying your studies abroad. Otherwise, your health insurance rights will be interrupted.
The documents may be submitted personally or by an authorized representative, and the power of attorney does not need to be notarized, as follows:
👉 at an NRA office;
👉 through a licensed postal operator with return receipt;
👉 to the official electronic addresses of the NRA structures with a qualified electronic signature;
👉 through the Secure Electronic Delivery System using a PIC
If you will be a part-time student, you must pay your health insurance contributions yourself.
What is a PIC*?
A PIC is a personal identification code that you receive free of charge at any NRA office. With it, you will be able to submit your declarations, check your insurance status, pay your obligations, and much more.
