It seems like you two are qualified for government prescription co-pay? I used to pay $600-800\month for just prescriptions co-pay. Health insurance is one of the biggest scams in USA system. First, I started with $1.20 per prescription, then the prices kept increasing to $2, $5, then later up to 50%b of the original price (I got government co-pay after almost a year later)

My friend had his hip joint replaced in the US and he wrote on FB: 'if I went to France instead, I'd have my hip joint replaced there, could buy tickets to France and back, and would still have money left for some good French wine'. I then replied: 'now get this, Dave: my Grandma's hip joint was replaced in a major traumathology clinic in Russia. She had an old heart pacemaker that had to be replaced prior to the surgery in a cardio clinic. 6 months after the surgery she had to have her hip joint re-fixed, and that was totally her own fault as she hadn't been following the doctor's directions. She spent over 4 weeks in the hospitals in total. All of the above was completely free of charge to her and 100% covered by her mandatory insurance policy as a Russian resident'. I also promise this is a 100% true story that I could prove with documents.

К терапевту или педиатру мы записываемся через сайт. Как правило есть несколько дней на неделе и временых отрезков на которые можно записаться. Например вы в субботу записываетесь на вторник на 12:30, приезжаете к назначеному времени в поликлинику если врач свободен можно пройти пораньше или ровно в 12:30. Иногда врач занят предидущим пациентом и придётся подождать 5-10 минут. Если вам срочно надо к терапевту(педиатру), а записи нет можно просто приехать в поликлинику и пойти к дежурному врачу, тут всё зависит от количества пациентов: можно и за 5 минут пройти, можно и полчаса ждать. Это что касается терапевтов(педиатров). Так же есть запись через интернет к некоторым специалистам. Но записываться лучше за несколько недель. К некоторым специалистам записи нет, её должен открыть терапевт, то есть сначала надо попасть на приём к терапевту. Далее так же записываемся через интернет. У особо занятых специалистов запись можно ждать месяц - 2. Самое долгое: моей жене пришлось ждать бесплатного МРТ 2,5 месяца. Впрочем платное стоило 2500рублей(25$)

At which time the Specialist will order some lab work which could be anywhere from another $200 to $1,000+, or some type of therapy as in Physical Therapy or Occupational Therapy etc. ($75+ per hour) and/or adaptive equipment or devices (a simple foot brace for a sprain-$600-800).

But on the other hand, it's healthcare available for people with just minimal insurance or even no insurance, ie the single largest portion of people? The quality of care is often dreadful.

Lots of wrong information. In Russia, in the state free of charge polyclinics, you don’t have to talk to “the main receptionist” and then go to room 26 where 30+ people are waiting for the doctor. Instead, you reserve your time with a particular doctor (if the polyclinic has more than one doctor of that specialization) and go at your designated time. All free of charge, of course. And you can reserve online, of course, and browse through the doctors and available schedules.

They usually sit in line. And yes, the reception area is the first thing you do. ))

Thx for the info.

I have a 3 year tourist visa for Russia and went for 6 months, left, then back again for another 4 months. I never had medical insurance of any kind when I applied for the visa, nor while I was in Russia. I went to 3 different medical places for certain things (nothing major) and just paid out of pocket. It was good and super inexpensive.

Thank you very much for all those informations. It is really appreciated.

Very interesting!

You're on a role mate. Good stuff. Hoping you're well!

In our Indonesia every citizen should have a health card at monthly insurance costs , to reduce medical treatment for hospital stay. It is helpful but not as good as Russia. Home treatment is not covered by health insurance.

Nice video

very interesting. much better than where i am from

Thx so much

Sam, there are long queues at policlinics not because there are too many patients or too few doctors, but because people like coming there looong before the time of their appointment))) There can be cases when people need something urgent, too (to understand if they really need to go to a hospital with their kind of pain), but in most cases they just come to talk. Now all state policlinics switch to Moscow standard, where you come to the reception area, scan your insurance policy number, choose the doctor you need, choose the time slot that's free, get a ticket with the doctor's name, date and time, and come at the required time. But even with this system, I'm sure some people will come 2-3 hours before the appointment)

Ох пора бы уже знать, что знаки Пешеходного перехода ставятся по просьбе жителей возможно там живут родители с дети или инвалиды и они ходят в школу садик или на остановку магазин, поэтому безопасность важнее, чем сумма потраченная на знаки. Да столько прожить в России и не знать медицинские вопросы это ужас 1 Вся медицина бесплатна (все фирмы и предприятия платят страховые взносы за работающих у них сотрудников) 2 Частные медицинские учреждения не отвечают за больных (если что то с вами там случиться, они вас передадут государственным больницам, так что подумайте прежде чем идти) Единственный плюс платных это прием в любое время, в государственных на прием надо записаться заранее можно по интернету. Неотложную помощь или острую боль прием вне очереди. 3 За любое платное лечение государство возвращает часть денег (если вы официально работаете в России и платите налоги) 4 Есть список медикаментов которые выдаются бесплатно или по низкой цене при лечении тех или иных болезней (список расширяется каждый год) 5 Вот тут он соврал, качество оборудования в государственной поликлинике выше на порядок (частные клиники по договору отправляют больных на КТ или МРТ в государственные) Частные не могут за миллионы купить такое оборудование. Про некоторые способы диагностики рака и других болезней использующие радиоактивные изотопы или лазеры вообще говорить не стоит такое оборудование есть только в государственных клинических центрах. 6 Разницы в медицине в каком месте вы живете хоть в глухой деревне нет (вас бесплатно направят в ближайший центр медицины с необходимым оборудованием для лечения) Медицинские центры строятся с учетом доступности, в течении суток вы можете получить любое лечение. Газовые трубы. вы наверно террорист ? Закопать тубы в землю убить много людей (зимой подвижка почвы 20-50 см при прорыве газовой трубы взрыв уничтожит все рядом на площади примерно как футбольное поле, а камни и земля разлетится на 200-300 метров) Поэтому трубы в сельской местности только по воздуху. В городах их закапывают очень глубоко и там подвижки почвы почти нет. Регистрация нужна для государства так как от количества зарегистрированных выделяются деньги местным властям на строительство садиков школ больниц и т.д. Регистрация ни как не влияет на оказание медицинских услуг (все давно в электронном виде) Заболел в далеко от дома вам так же помогут вне зависимости от места пребывания

So if you have a genuine illness then I don’t see the problem going to the doctor for a prescription. Theoretically you could try and blag it if it’s prescribed medication. You can just say that you didn’t know if they questioned you. For mental health medication it’s now much more strict in Russia too,

Stupid wasted comment

I have what is considered very good medical insurance, it covers 80% of the costs. One complaint is the dental care. It only covers $1000 a year. With the costs rising every day, $1000 doesn't cover hardly anything. A lot of people in the US will travel to Mexico for certain health care procedures, elective or not. But they must be careful not to go to an unlicensed hack who may end up doing more damage or causing your death. It makes me wonder if these were peaceful times, would it be advantageous to get some work done in Russia?

You will always have someone who bitch about their healthcare and will insist on going elsewhere, even if it costs them more. It seems a mix of being a snob about healthcare and showing off they can go out of country. We have it happen in Canada. We have Americans sneaking across the border, pretending to be Canadian to get healthcare, often rushing across the border just ahead of the police. While we have Canadians who hate Canadian healthcare, and will pay more out of pocket in the US for what they could get for free in Canada. BTW, if justified Canadian healthcare will pay your cost for Canadians to go out of Canada for healthcare services BUT it has to be justified due to your medical needs and service availability at the time, as wait times, and services available vary, as does medical needs. Currently in Canada, as it seems to be the case in the UK, conservative parties are doing their best to break and then privatize the Canadian healthcare services. Which means under funding public services like hospitals, in some cases closing them, while the government pays more by for profit service providers and in some cases forcing Canadians to pay out of pocket for services, that were always covered by universal healthcare. The conservatives want to replace Canadian universal healthcare system with a US style single payer privatized system, based on private insurance plans. It is sad seeing our healthcare system being destroyed before your eyes by corrupt ideologues politicians. Brits must feel the same as Canadians, seeing their NHS being destroyed too.

You got them windows ordered yet? Black would look sharp!

Именно так, ситуация в здравоохранении сильно меняется в зависимости от региона.

Поэтому в Тверской области жесткая нехватка кадров, в районах медицина просто умерла. И это при том, что в Твери хороший медуниверситет
