Zdravotní pojišťovna ministerstva vnitra ČR (also known as “ZP 211”) with more than 1.3 million clients, is the second largest public health insurance company in the Czech Republic.
ZP 211 provides public health insurance to cover healthcare costs from providers, specifically physicians and hospitals.
Who is eligible to be insured by ZP 211?
Public health insurance is mandatory for all persons who have their permanent residence in the Czech Republic or who work for an employer with a registered office or permanent residence in the Czech Republic.
Certain foreign nationals who are, in accordance with the related Czech legislation, considered to have permanent residence in the Czech Republic are also covered by the public health insurance scheme, including foreign nationals with a long-term residence permit for the purpose of scientific research, foreigners who are international protection applicants, foreign nationals being tolerated in the Czech territory, foreign nationals granted temporary protection, asylum seekers, new-born children whose mother has the long-term residence permit in the Czech Republic and persons under the age of 18 who have a valid permit for a long-term residence in the Czech Republic.
Because of the country’s EU membership and also certain international social security treaties, participation in the Czech public health insurance scheme also becomes mandatory for EU nationals (and certain foreign nationals) who have gainful economic activity in the Czech Republic, regardless of whether they are employees or self-employed. In accordance with EU Regulation No. 883/2004 On the Coordination of Social Security Systems, Czech public health insurance scheme might also apply to pensioners receiving a pension in the Czech Republic, family members of persons undertaking gainful economic activity and being insured in the Czech Republic, and also non-active persons who have their place of residence or a centre of interest in the Czech Republic.
