All international students coming to Russia for an extended period of time have to get a valid medical insurance covering outpatient care, emergency medical service and hospitalization, dentistry, medical transport repatriation, etc. The insurance policy should indicate contact details and addresses of the emergency medical treatment facilities in Moscow.
For students’ convenience, RANEPA Medical Center’s official insurance partners offer a student insurance policy, that can be purchased before arrival. This policy complies with all RANEPA coverage requirements and simplifies all the procedures that a foreign student have to undergo on arrival and/or may face during their stay in Moscow, such as:
¾ arrangement of initial and professional medical examination (on arrival to campus),search doctors and facilities to get medical care in Moscow,
¾ RANEPA’s administrative support and assistance in making appointments, translation support, etc.
¾ RANEPA insurance is accepted by every Russian Consulate in a student’s home country when applying for a single-entry visa and is valid until the end of study in Moscow.
Students do not have any obligation to purchase this insurance and they are free to purchase any insurance from any other insurance company either in Russia or in their home country. It is the student’s responsibility to make sure that their insurance policy meets RANEPA requirements Please, kindly note that RANEPA Medical Center will charge students for its services (including general examination), if it is not covered by their insurance.
