Medical treatment of international students is covered as follows:

  • EU citizens are insured based on the European Health Insurance Card when they are in another member state and are, from the point of view of social security, entitled to the same rights and have the same obligations as citizens of that given member state. The EU card covers 'medically necessary services (e.g., dialysis treatment, oxygen therapy) but does not authorize the use of deferred care.

  • If the student is insured by one of the insurance companies the university has a contract with (Generali Providencia), all expenses are covered by the insurance company. You will need to collect the following documents to get reimbursement from the insurance company. If you cannot provide any of the

listed things, you will not be able to receive any cost reimbursement from Generali insurance company:

1. Medical report from the doctor ('Ambuláns lap')

2. Invoice to your name/invoice from the pharmacy ('ÁFÁS számla')

3. Any other document that you received from your doctor

4. Your insurance card

5. Your HUF bank account number

  • Suppose the student is insured by any other insurance company, not in contract with the university. In that case, the student must pay for the treatment on the spot according to the operative Code of Charges and Benefits of the UP. The student receives an ambulant card and a receipt/invoice and can get reimbursement from their insurance company.

  • If the student is not insured, they must pay for the treatment on the spot according to the operative Code of Charges and Benefits of the UP. The student receives an ambulant card and a receipt/invoice. If further examinations are required, or specialist treatment is needed, those are accessible through primary care.
