How do asylum seekers get an insurance number??

If for people with a residence permit and a personal number, using health insurance is not difficult, this becomes problematic for asylum seekers. To do this they need to obtain a DIK number, which causes difficulties for many. How to do this?

Health insurance funds have a special website (Search for the prohibited (vlk.lt)), where can I check, is the insurance valid or not?. The search can be done in any of three ways::

Asmens kodas - personal code in Lithuania (only with a residence permit)
DIK - insurance code
ILTU — at the face, having interests in Lithuania and point 8 in the asylum seeker's card.

If we try to check, We also have insurance according to ILTU code, then we won't find anything. The service will inform, that it does not find this person's insurance information. Probably, this method is only suitable for foreigners, who pay taxes using this code.

Therefore, we need to find out the insurance number, to report it to the clinic. To do this, you need to call the health insurance companies..

8 5 232 2222 (Other health insurance issues)

Now carefully. Need to explain to the employee, what do we need. Can you report, что вы an asylum seeker (asylum seeker) and want to know your DIK number. Even if they don't understand you, ask to search for information about you on date of birth, имени и фамилии.

IMPORTANT:

Before this, you must obtain an applicant’s card. Without it, the insurance will not be activated.

Don't suggest searching for you by ILTU code. IN 90% no one finds information on it.

And now you have your insurance number.:

You can now register at the clinic. From my experience and the experience of others, in Vilnius is most suitable for asylum seekers Karoliniški Polyclinic, так как там хорошо знают, how to register people with this status.

When will you register?, ask for the ESI number as well (Electronic health record). If the doctor issues an electronic prescription, then you will use it to buy medicines at the pharmacy.
