Drug supply is an integral part of the healthcare system and is aimed at guaranteed, timely and high-quality satisfaction of the needs of the population of Moscow in medicines for medical use, medical devices, as well as specialized medical nutrition products for disabled children.

Drug provision as one of the most important components of the medical process, and first of all, free drug provision for certain categories of citizens eligible for state social assistance, is subject to state regulation and control, as it has the most important economic and social significance. In modern conditions, the state must act as a guarantor of the safety, quality and effectiveness of pharmaceutical products and services to the consumer.

Many pharmacy organizations are located in close proximity to medical organizations (city hospitals, polyclinics, oncology dispensaries), providing the population with walking distance to the necessary drug care.

The current situation in Russia.

The strategy of drug provision of the population of the Russian Federation for the period up to 2025, approved by the Russian Ministry of Health in 2013, provides for the pilot implementation of various models of drug provision.

Co-financing from patients (with the exception of certain categories of citizens for whom free drug provision is provided) should depend on the nature of the course of the patient's disease and the cost of treatment costs, for example:

The costs are fully reimbursed by the state - for life-threatening, socially significant diseases that make the largest contribution to mortality in Russia,

A high proportion of reimbursement is provided for medicines for the treatment of non-life-threatening diseases, but requiring long-term expensive treatment,

Low reimbursement rate - for diseases requiring treatment with drugs with low cost.

It is necessary to analyze the results of various models of pilot drug supply projects with various categories of citizens participating in pilot projects, various diseases (according to the course and cost of treatment) in order to form calculations for financial costs.

The introduction of drug insurance in the city of Moscow is possible when the Ministry of Health of Russia sums up the results of pilot projects in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation as part of the Drug Supply Strategy, which are carried out not for individual nosologies, but in full.

Do you know what?

Already in ancient times, people tried to save their lives using various natural medicinal substances. Most often, these were plant extracts, but preparations were also used that were obtained from raw meat, yeast, and animal waste. Some medicinal substances are available in an easily accessible form in plant or animal raw materials, and therefore, medicine has successfully used a large number of medicines of plant and animal origin since ancient times. Only with the development of chemistry did people become convinced that the therapeutic effect of such substances lies in the selective effect of certain chemical compounds on the body. Later, such compounds began to be obtained in laboratories by synthesis.

The economic crisis and rising prices for food, utilities and medicine - all this has already become commonplace for Russia in recent years. These changes are reflected primarily in the most vulnerable segments of the population - pensioners. Every month, older people spend a quarter of their income on medicines. And few of them know that our country provides for the payment of special benefits for the purchase of medicines or reimbursement of funds already spent for these purposes.

General concept

It provides for similar privileges for certain groups of federal beneficiaries: pensioners, disabled people, participants in the Second World War, participants in the liquidation of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, as well as citizens with serious illnesses. Among the population, information is most in demand and relevant about what constitutes a benefit for pensioners on medicines.

Elderly people often do not even realize that, according to the law, they can count on the purchase of a wide list of medicines, and meanwhile, the state annually spends billions of rubles to fulfill its obligations in this area of ​​the social sphere. The problem is in the specifics of the work of regional medical institutions, most doctors are silent about the fact that there is a benefit on medicines for pensioners, and pharmacies refuse to dispense the necessary drugs. All this is the cost of the system, but every citizen who falls into this category has the right to demand the privilege due to him.

Not all drugs are included in the list of preferential drugs, their list is strictly regulated by the law of 2006 on “On approval of the list of drugs ...” The program is common for the entire territory of Russia, however, in some regions of the Federation additional lists of drugs and compensation rules are provided.

What are the benefits for retirees?

Upon reaching the age limit for service and in the presence of regular contributions to the Pension Fund, a citizen is entitled to receive a monthly allowance, as well as additional social security measures. Over the past twenty years, the state has made many efforts to create comfortable conditions for the life of the elderly. A person of retirement age is entitled to the following benefits:

1. In the field of taxation: pensions, allowances for treatment, payment for vouchers for sanatorium treatment are not subject to personal income tax. In addition, pensioners are subject to a different system for calculating payments for property owned, as well as benefits when paying tax on a vehicle or land. Much depends on the region of the country and domestic regulatory laws.
2. Benefits for paying utility bills: today there is a condition under which a pensioner has the right to count on a lump sum payment from the state for gasification of his own house or apartment. Reimbursement can be a maximum of 50%, much depends on the social program adopted in the region.
3. In some regions, there is a program of targeted assistance, when social services provide support to pensioners, the disabled and other vulnerable segments of the population.

Much more questions arise about how drug benefits are provided to old-age pensioners. The legislative basis for such assistance is prescribed in the Federal Law of July 17, 1999 No. 178-FZ “On State Social Assistance”.

Medical Benefits

The legislation of the Russian Federation provides for compensation for the purchase of drugs intended for the treatment or prevention of a particular disease. All purchased drugs must have a prescription from the attending physician.

Below is a list of what medication benefits old-age pensioners are entitled to from the state:

1. Elderly people who have reached the working age limit and are not disabled can receive a 50% discount on the purchase of medicines specified in a special list.
2. According to the order of the Ministry of Health on compulsory medical examination, pensioners have the right to undergo free examinations at the local polyclinic once every three years.
3. Also, citizens can go to the hospital in order to get a flu shot.

What to bring when you go to the hospital

Reimbursement of medical costs to pensioners has a number of important nuances, and it all starts with the collection of the necessary documents that a citizen must provide to the attending physician. Therapists, paramedics, cardiologists, surgeons and other specialists who treat a citizen have the right to issue a prescription. The patient must have the following documents with him:

1. Passport.
2. SNILS.
3. Insurance policy.
4. Medical Card.
5. Certificate from the FIU stating that the citizen did not write a voluntary refusal from additional medical care.
6. certificate of disability and other documents confirming the right to receive benefits.

The doctor must write out a prescription in duplicate, one of which the citizen provides to the pharmacy, and the other to the regulatory authority that distributes social benefits, which includes benefits for receiving medicines for pensioners.

The doctor, for his part, also sends an application to the state pharmacy, it often happens that the required drug is not available, and you have to wait for its delivery for some time. To facilitate the task, today there is a special service on the Internet for ordering the necessary medicine. To do this, you need to go to the website of Roszdravnadzor and fill out an application, here you can also call the hotline and find out the details of the service in your region.

Design rules

After purchasing the necessary medicines, a citizen must take all the papers to the territorial office of the PFR. Benefits for pensioners for medicines are provided only if the following reporting documents are available:

1. Form of prescriptions in a certain form 107 / y.
2. Checks and receipts confirming the purchase.
3. Statement of all income and deductions.
4. If another person applies for benefits, a document confirming the relationship and a copy of it must be submitted.

In order to avoid unpleasant bureaucratic situations, all documents, and especially the prescription, must be checked for signatures and seals, otherwise the form will be considered invalid and the person will have to take unnecessary actions. In general, about how to get benefits for medicines, pensioners should be explained in an accessible form by those responsible for, including the Compulsory Insurance Department and employees of the Pension Fund of Russia.

How is the payout

All documentation is collected in advance and must strictly comply with the form, this application is considered socially important, therefore, special attention is paid to all papers. According to the legislation, pensioners are not fully compensated for the cost of medicines. In each region, the annual monetary amount of funds allocated per person is established, usually it does not exceed 25 thousand rubles.

Moreover, a pensioner can receive compensation only in the amount of 13% of the costs. To date, the legislation stipulates the amount of the maximum deduction - 15,600, which is 13% of 120 thousand rubles. Usually, citizens spend much less, about 10 thousand rubles, and, therefore, they have the right to count on compensation in the amount of 1,300 rubles. So, benefits for medicine for old-age pensioners are little support from the state, many refuse this social service in favor of paying monetary compensation.

Benefits for labor veterans

Unfortunately, in connection with the policy of economy, people who received an honorary title for special merits and efforts shown during their work, in 2017, many benefits were canceled, they were replaced by some bonuses and privileges. But in terms of medical care, almost all services remained unchanged.

Benefits for medicines for labor veterans - pensioners are provided free of charge in any regions of the country. True, a citizen can get the necessary drugs only in state institutions. In 2017, the list of insurance services even included dental treatment, subject to the purchase of equipment at your own expense. In all other respects, the same procedure for obtaining medicine for retired veterans is provided. Benefits are provided upon submission of all documents confirming this right.

Refusal of free medicines

The legislation provides for situations when a pensioner can refuse the state set of social assistance in favor of paying a cash equivalent, and this can be done either completely or partially. The issue is regulated by Part 3 of Art. 6. 3 of Law No. 178-FZ. You can learn more about how to refuse drug benefits for a pensioner at the territorial department of the PFR.

First you need to decide what services the citizen refuses. This may be free travel, provision of medicines or spa treatment. You can select the entire list or one of the items, for example, In this case, an application for refusal to receive social services is submitted to the Pension Fund at the place of residence. The deadline for submitting documents is until October 1 of the current year, the application is valid until December 31 of the next year, after which the application can be extended or renewed the social package.

The total amount of payments for today is 1048.97 rubles, of which 807.94 rubles. intended for the purchase of medicines, 124.99 for sanatorium treatment and 116.04 for travel in suburban transport.

Other medical services

• free vaccinations;
• veterans and disabled people who are retired are provided with additional treatment in the sanatoriums of the country; each region has its own procedure for obtaining vouchers; for clarification, you can contact the local therapist;
• free travel to the place of treatment;
• medical examination is provided every three years;
• free service in any public clinics in the country;
• discount on prosthetics for missing limbs.

Pensioners with the status of disabled veterans of the Second World War, residents of besieged Leningrad, have the right to undergo medical examination once a year.

FAQ

Every year, the government sets new tariffs and indexation rates for pensions, as well as the rules for receiving and a list of benefits included in the social package of state assistance. Elderly people in Russia are always anxiously awaiting these changes and innovations, so the issue with the law on working pensioners has not yet been resolved, the government has postponed this decision for some time. As for social assistance, it remained unchanged at the federal level, so benefits for pensioners for medicines in 2017 will be paid as before.

Another equally important issue for older people is the problems associated with obtaining free drugs. Sometimes it turns out that on paper a pensioner has benefits for medicines, but in reality he cannot receive them. Therapists often refuse to write prescriptions, citing insufficient funding or the lack of goods in pharmacies.

By law, medicines must be provided upon first request, in the absence of medicines, the employee must either order the goods or renew the prescription.

Often, pensioners are absolutely defenseless against the bureaucracy of the system and everywhere they encounter refusal and misunderstanding. Do not give up, a citizen always has the right to write a complaint to the territorial office of the Ministry of Health or report a case of refusal on the hotline.

If you have any difficulties in obtaining subsidized medicines (queues at polyclinics, lack of medicines in the pharmacy) - do not give up. Believe that you will succeed, and be patient! The state provides for the possibility of obtaining free medicines for certain categories of the population. But people do not always know how to defend their rights, get the guarantees that they are entitled to under the law.

• a document according to which you are entitled to preferential treatment (pension certificate, veteran's certificate);
• a certificate from the Pension Fund confirming that you have not refused a social package that includes preferential treatment (for the disabled);
• SNILS;
• OMS policy.

Who is eligible for free medicines - List of free medicines in 2019

In our difficult time, almost all people are interested in saving money and looking for inexpensive solutions to problems. And getting free medicines is a rather relevant bonus for citizens, which, unfortunately, not everyone knows about.

Who can get free medicines in Russia?

Who is entitled to free medicines in Russia? Legislative acts contain a regulated list of groups of residents of our country who are entitled to receive free medicines if they need them, and there is supporting documentation.

So who is eligible for free medicines?

The documents required for this procedure are:

1) the Great Patriotic War and citizens who took part in military conflicts in any hot spot;

2) persons who eliminated the consequences at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant;

3) citizens who were subjected to political repression in the middleXXcenturies. We are talking about political prisoners; citizens who had to work forcibly in colonies; about those who were sent or exiled to psychiatric clinics;

4) those residents of our country who were officially recognized as victims of repressive actions. This category includes family members of victims of political repression who served time in places of detention;

5) if a child is from a large family, then until the moment when he reaches the age of 16, he has the right to receive free medicines. In ordinary families, children can receive free medicines until the age of three;

6) who have ten or more children that these moms provide;

7) children with disabilities under the age of sixteen;

8) those who were recognized as heroes of Russia and the USSR.

The groups of people who are entitled to receive free medical support can be determined not only by social characteristics, but also by the type of disease they suffer from. Moreover, the list of diseases, as well as free medicines needed for treatment, are present in legislative acts.

BUT What diseases are free medicines for?

In addition to the above-mentioned groups, people who are ill can receive medicines free of charge:

• hemophilia;
• myeloid leukemia;
• cystic fibrosis;
• Gaucher disease;
• multiple sclerosis.

In addition, free medicines can also be used by those people who have recently had a transplant of tissue parts of the body or any organ. At the moment, there is an acute question of how to organize free medicines for patients with. The determining role here belongs to the degree of disability that the patient has. But regardless of this, a syringe and a portion of insulin are free for every patient.

Under what conditions can you get free medicines?

Regardless of the category to which a citizen can be attributed, he can receive free medications only by prescription. If a person has a corresponding disease that involves free medicines, or he belongs to any socially protected group, then he shows the doctor's prescription to the pharmacist. Otherwise, the seller has the right to refuse. Moreover, he must do so. Now you know where to get free prescription drugs.

How to get free medicines? In order for the doctor to give the patient the right prescription, thanks to which it will be possible not to pay for some medicines, he is also provided with certain documentation. Only residents whose data is in the state register can present only passports. For other categories of citizens, there is an approved list of papers that you must take with you when visiting a doctor in order to get a prescription.

The list contains the following documentation:

1) identity documents;

2) documents issued by a pension fund or other responsible authority that a citizen has the right to state preferential payment and other social services;

3) papers confirming the fact that a resident belongs to a certain group that has the right to receive medicines for free.

If all the listed papers are available, then the doctor does not have the right to refuse the patient a prescription. As for the forms on which prescriptions are drawn up, there are some nuances. Beneficiaries are issued separate forms, which give them the right not only to receive medicines free of charge, but also allow them to receive material compensation for the costs that arose due to the purchase of a certain medicine at full cost. To get a refund, show the seller your receipts for the purchase of drugs.

With a doctor's prescription, beneficiaries can go to the pharmacy. Here, in addition to the prescription itself, a document that confirms the identity, an extract from the hospital or reference documentation, indicating that the person really suffers from a certain disease, will come in handy.

It happens that the patient fails to find the right medicines in the pharmacy. Then the legislation established that beneficiaries have the right to demand the issuance of a medical product within 24 hours. If the medicines cannot be delivered to the pharmacy in such a short time, the wait is extended up to ten calendar days. They are considered to be working from the time you ordered the medicine.

Where to complain if they do not give out or there are no free medicines in the pharmacy? And also, where to complain if they do not prescribe free medicines? If a pharmacist refuses to provide such assistance to a person (without legal grounds), then the client can apply to the authorities of the Health Board by filing a complaint against this pharmacy. Those people who want to go further can apply to the court system.

At the same time, keep in mind that not all pharmacy kiosks can get free medicines, even if you have all the necessary documentation and doctor's prescriptions.Medicines are free of charge only at the pharmacy that supports this federal program. Naturally, medicines cannot be completely free: if they are not paid for by the beneficiary, then this becomes the responsibility of the state apparatus. Pharmacies that dispense free medicines have entered into a special agreement with the pension fund. The latter guarantees that cost compensation will be carried out. If the pharmacy did not sign this agreement, then it is not entitled to issue drugs to beneficiaries free of charge.

In addition, you can receive free medicines within a certain time frame. These boundaries are set by a doctor's prescription, which is valid for a maximum of a month. There are other situations that are exceptions.

Narcotic drugs are issued within five days. The patient can pick them up at the pharmacy only during these five days, otherwise he will not be able to get the drugs for free. Beneficiaries must apply for medicines no later than two weeks, if we are talking about psychotropic and poisonous groups of medicines. If the patient has lost the written prescription, or has expired, then the person turns to his doctor with a request to issue the prescription again.
