Why should you have private health insurance in Hungary as a foreigner and what can you use it for?

For a minimum 1 year stay in Hungary
  • The ideal solution for elective and acute care, or medical emergencies
  • Can be presented at the Immigration Office
  • For type D visa applications
  • Extra covered services during the pandemic: Telemedicine consultation, COVID-19 screening test up to 15.000 HUF, medical advice in case of coronavirus infection
  • Cannot be used to apply for a Schengen C visa
In many cases, this product can replace or complement public health care. It is a ‘fee-for-service’ product, so the policyholder only pays the insurance premium, and the insurance company covers his/her treatment when a covered service is claimed.

For example, if you call our Medi24 phone line, because you have a stomach pain, we’ll arrange you a visit to one of our partner private clinics, and we’ll cover your health expenses, you only need to show up. It is a fully accepted insurance product for the immigration application process.

Private health insurance is recommended for longer stays in Hungary. If you are looking for the right insurance cover for a longer stay in Hungary, or you need health insurance for your immigration procedure, Generali private health is the right choice for you.

      Glossary Of Terms

      Outpatient specialized care usually means one-off or occasional treatment or preventive care (examinations, treatment) provided by a specialist for patients who are not confined to a bed.

      In-patient specialist care means healthcare provided to a patient in an in-patient setting of a hospital unit.

      Outpatient surgery means minor procedures and operations which are usually performed under local anaesthesia, and the patient can leave the hospital on his or her own feet soon after the surgery (on the same day, i.e. without spending the night in hospital).
      Same-day surgical care means treatment defined as such in legislation under statutory surgical codes where the patient requires less than 24 hours of care and observation following surgery; in other words, the patient can leave the medical facility on his or her own feet within one day (following an overnight stay in hospital) with an escort and can recover at home.
      It describes the sequence of tests and examinations that a patient undergoes during the course of his/her medical care. With private health insurance, it is not the patient’s responsibility to organize the patient journey – i.e., the medical examinations and care – as it is part of the covered service offered by the insurance company.
      A video or telephone consultation with a specialist which allows the insured to discuss any health problems with a physician. Telemedicine consultation is only available for symptoms and complaints which do not necessarily require a face-to-face visit or a physical examination.
      In other words: preventive screening tests. The aim of preventive health checkups is to assess the insured person’s state of health and to rule out certain diseases or rule out the probability of certain diseases before symptoms and complaints appear.
      The core concept of private health insurance is that the insured pays a monthly, quarterly, half-yearly or an annual premium to the insurance company, in return for which the insurance company organizes and finances medically justified examinations due to the insured’s health complaints, and covers certain screening tests included in the selected insurance plan with private health care providers. This means that the costs of examinations, treatments and healthcare services included in a given health insurance plan are not paid by the insured but reimbursed by the insurance company directly to the service provider, thus sparing the insured person the need to pay occasional medical bills.
