Frequently Asked Questions

How to register with ZPŠ?

You can register at any ZPŠ contact place by submitting an identity document and filled out Personal Sheet.

What kind of medical care is paid for from the public health insurance plan?

Medical care that is fully paid from public health care insurance funds includes out-patient and in-patient care, urgent and emergency care, preventive care, dispensary care, provision of medicines, medical devices, and dental products, balneal care, care in professional children's sanatoriums and convalescent homes, company-provided preventive care, transport of ill persons (if required by the insured person's medical condition) and reimbursement of travel costs, expert opinion activities (only to a certain extent), examination of deceased persons and autopsies. Insured persons contribute to the payment of the costs for certain procedures or medical devices that exceed the framework defined by law.

For example, this includes certain dental procedures, a part of balneal care, and especially co-payment for some medications. Some medications are paid for by insurance companies in full, while some of them are partly paid for by a patient. Nevertheless, every group of medications has to contain at least one that is fully paid for by an insurance provider; and for others, the doctor has to notify the patient in advance about his/her co-payment responsibility when picking the medicine up from a pharmacy. Costs of medications and medical devices in the course of in-patient care are paid in full. Medical care, to which public health insurance does not apply and that has to be paid directly, is defined by law. This concerns, for example, selected dental procedures or acupuncture.

How to arrange travel insurance when traveling abroad?

Czech-insured persons should not rely only on the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) when traveling abroad, because, in EU countries, co-payment for treatment is not later reimbursed in the Czech Republic. 

They are not entitled to transportation back to the Czech Republic free of charge, and for medical care, they can only use medical facilities that are funded by public resources. We provide foreign travel insurance in cooperation with Vitalitas pojišťovna, a.s., the insurance company. Insurance can be arranged online at www.vitalitas.cz.

Insurance of medical expenses abroad

Medical expenses cover the costs of medical treatment, hospitalization if necessary, and medications and other medical material necessary for the illness or injury. Sum Insured: CZK 5,000,000

Insurance includes:

  • Insurance of repatriation costs
  • Repatriation means returning home via substitute transportation: ambulance, airplane, or even a special flight if it is not possible to use the originally planned transportation means to return home. Repatriation also includes transport of remains in case of death abroad. Sum Insured: CZK 200,000*
  • Insurance of costs for sending a caretaker
  • We're not just thinking about you, but about your children. That is why we ensure the costs of sending for a caretaker.

Sum Insured: CZK 50,000*
