Insurance medical organizations have been engaged in protecting the rights of patients before, but today conditions are being created for this function of the insurance company to become one of the priority in their activities.

Insurance representatives of the first level for the third year provide reference and advice to the population. During this time, the service has become a real helper for the population in obtaining free medical care. And, as a result, citizens are 2.2 times more likely to apply to insurance companies for clarification and protection of their rights. In total, since June 1, 2016, the contact center received 45.8 thousand appeals, while complaints amounted to 3.1%, the remaining 96.9% were requests for advice.
Starting from 2017, the insurance representatives of the second level began to protect the rights of patients, whose priorities are to ensure optimal routing of patients, individual information about the need for medical examination and preventive examinations.
