Free care and mandatory health insurance
Updated:
At Avicenna, inpatient care is provided free of charge with a referral under the guaranteed volume of free medical care (GOBMP) and compulsory social health insurance (OSMS). Outpatient specialist consultations, diagnostics and laboratory tests are paid services.
How to be admitted free of charge
- See your doctor at the clinic where you are registered.
- If hospital treatment is indicated, the doctor issues a referral for planned admission, registers you on the Hospitalization Bureau portal and gives you an admission code and date.
- On the scheduled day, come to the admissions department with your ID, the referral, the admission code and an extract from your medical record with test results.
See Hospital admission rules for details. Emergency care for life-threatening conditions is free of charge.
Check your OSMS status
You can check your insurance status in the Kaspi or eGov mobile apps, at fms.kz or by calling 1406. If you are not insured, care under GOBMP is available.
