Medicines for large families: free, list of how to get them

Any illness of a child is a reason for increased attention from parents. This trouble can result not only in nervous tension, but also in large financial costs.

To minimize costs, there is a government program that allows you to often receive medications free of charge.

Federal Law of November 21, 2011 No. 323-FZ “On the fundamentals of protecting the health of citizens in the Russian Federation”

Free medicine program for large families

Let's consider the main aspects.

If children are under 3 years old

The list of free medications for children under 3 years of age was approved back in 2006. At the moment, it includes about 250 types of drugs intended to treat various diseases.

• Most of the drugs are aimed at eliminating the causes and consequences of viral, allergic and colds.
• Depending on the region’s budget, the list of medications provided for children under 3 years of age may be subject to adjustments.
• As a rule, the issuance of budget funds is carried out without problems, but when receiving expensive medications, many parents encounter problems.

Attention! You can get a prescription for a free drug only at an appointment with a pediatrician, subject to a personal visit to the clinic. Prescriptions for medications included in the list of benefits are not issued at home.

For children under 6 years of age

A separate list of medications has also been adopted for children under 6 years of age. The bulk of this list consists of medications against colds, allergies and viruses.

Free drugs also include various antifungal agents intended to treat gastrointestinal disorders and reduce the risk of diabetes in children.

For minor children with disabilities

1. It is also possible for disabled people who have not reached the age of majority to receive medications free of charge.
2. The regulations contain the requirement that a category of citizens has the right to count only on receiving medications aimed at combating the underlying disease that caused disability.
3. Unfortunately, parents often find themselves having to stand in line to receive medications for this category of beneficiaries, which can last up to six months.

Procedure for obtaining medications

To receive free medications, an interested citizen must go through several steps:

1. Make an appointment with the staff of the clinic to which the minor patient is assigned;
2. The doctor conducts an additional medical examination to confirm the diagnosis and determine the necessary medication;
3. Based on the results of the examination, the doctor writes a prescription, according to which the parent can receive medications for free at the nearest social pharmacy.

The prescription for the medicine is written out in triplicate:

1. For storage in the card;
2. The other two are given to parents for presentation to the pharmacy.

After receiving a prescription, the parent has the right to go to the pharmacy to receive the prescribed drug.

What medications are provided free of charge?

It is much easier for a person to insist on his rights if he knows the full list of medications that can be provided to large families free of charge.

The decree initially requires that all medications be provided free of charge to children under 6 years of age. But the exact list of drugs is established based on the budget capabilities of the region.

On a note! You can find the exact list on the official website of the Ministry of Health of your region.

Receiving any state privilege requires preliminary confirmation by the citizen of the fact that he has the right to receive the benefit. A pediatrician who issues prescriptions for the purchase of medications has the right to demand several documents from a mother of many children:

1. Medical insurance policy for a child. The presence of this document is required at every visit to the doctor, as it confirms the fact that insurance has been issued for the baby;
2. A document that serves as proof of the child’s identity before he receives a passport. Most often, parents provide a certificate of birth of the baby as such a document;
3. SNILS;
4. A certificate confirming the fact of registration of the child at the place of residence;
5. Certificate of a large family.

Providing this package of documents to receive free medicines is mandatory.

At the same time, the regulations do not provide for the need to provide other documents in response to the request of the pediatrician or chief physician.

For example, a parent is not required to show a document indicating the financial situation of his family, since this fact was already confirmed upon receipt of the certificate.

Features of the procedure

Let's look at the features.

Getting a prescription

To receive free medications, parents do not need to collect a huge package of documents. Some supporting documents will need to be provided to the doctor so that he can write out a referral, but to purchase the medicine itself, you will only need a prescription - a special document drawn up on a form.

Attention! Obtaining a prescription is possible only when the child visits the doctor in person, or when a doctor is called to the home; such a document is not issued.

Registration

Registration of families as citizens in need of additional support in the form of provision of free medications is carried out only with a personal visit to an authorized government agency.

Important! Applications cannot be submitted through State Services.

Tips for parents

When receiving free medications, parents should follow a few tips:

1. Before requesting a prescription from a pediatrician for a free medication, parents must make sure that the medication is included in the list of subsidized drugs;
2. You can familiarize yourself with the list of medications included in the regional list during a visit to the clinic or in advance on the official website of local health authorities;
3. The ability to receive benefits for medications is limited to several time periods. For example, if a child suffered from several diseases within a month, he has the right to apply for medications for each of them. In such a situation, the doctor has the right to indicate in the prescription only the main active ingredient of the drug and its release form, and the pharmacist has the right to offer a drug that meets the declared parameters;
4. If there is a prescription for a drug that is not available at the pharmacy to be provided as a benefit, the parent has the right to purchase the drug at his own expense and then try to reimburse it through his insurance company;
5. The circulation of medicine is allowed in any social pharmacy in the locality, and not just in the department that the doctor mentioned during the appointment;
6. It is important for the parent to have a notebook in his hands in which two marks are made: about the prescription of the medicine in the clinic and about the dispensing of the medicine at the pharmacy;
7. If a large family is denied the right to receive benefits, a person has the right to contact the insurer or the Department of Health of his locality.

List of free medications for children from large families in 2020

A list of free medicines for large families is formed at the federal level as a measure of social support for citizens in need of assistance from the state. This benefit was approved by law several years ago, but until now not all parents know what they can count on.

Doctors in clinics and hospitals often do not provide the necessary information to mothers or avoid filling out a prescription for free medication. Therefore, you have to obtain information yourself. This issue is especially acute for those whose children are classified as frequently ill.

It is equally important for parents of three or more children to understand the problem.

Free Medicine Laws

In large families, the situation is aggravated due to the possibility of infection of other children. This leads to the fact that an adult strives to quickly fulfill the doctor’s instructions and buys the necessary medications, without thinking that the state has guaranteed its assistance in purchasing medications to treat the baby.

Unfortunately, in most cases, doctors at children's clinics do not inform large families about their rights to receive free medications.

When parents themselves remind about this, there are many far-fetched reasons due to which it is supposedly impossible to write a prescription.

Therefore, it is necessary to know the legislative acts guaranteeing free medical care for children from large families. First of all, you should remember:

1. Resolution of the Government of the Russian Federation numbered eight hundred and ninety, adopted in 1994, dedicated to improving the provision of medicines to the country's population and certain groups of citizens separately. This resolution ordered the approval of the list of classes of the population to which the Supplemental Medical Care Act applies.
2. Federal Law No. 323 of 2011, as amended in 2017, on the basics of protecting the health of citizens of our state. The latest changes came into force on March 6, 2018.

These two documents guarantee the legal right of large families to free medicines for the treatment of children.

Recipient categories

The first appendix to the above-mentioned Government Resolution states that the following groups, among other groups, have the right to receive free medicines:

• all children under three years of age;
• children from large families, if they are not yet six years old;
• children under 18 years of age if they are recognized as disabled.

There is no list assigned for them in this application. The legislator briefly stated that for these categories of persons all drugs should be provided free of charge with a doctor’s prescription.

However, not everything is so rosy. The legislative act on the basics of protecting the health of citizens and adopted in 2011 (we are talking about Federal Law number three hundred and twenty-three) states that the list of medications provided free of charge to persons from the groups designated in the 1994 Decree is formed at the level of subjects countries.

This means that not all drugs can be received free of charge, but only those that are included in the list of regional importance. In each region it is compiled individually. There is one list in Sverdlovsk, and another in Orenburg. In the Ivanovo region in 2017, for example, practically no funds were allocated for free medicines.

You can find out the composition of such a list:

• in a health care facility;
• on the website of the regional health department;
• on the page of the territorial health insurance fund.

It should be remembered that it is usually not the trade names of the drugs that are listed, but the active substance. It is this that is indicated in the prescription, and the medicine containing it is issued by the pharmacy in accordance with the availability and the contract concluded with it by the state.

Medicinal list

You can insist on the observance of your rights in case of provision of free medicines with greater confidence when you know the list of them for children from large families. The government decree mentioned above declares that children under six years of age are provided with all medications free of charge. However, everything depends on the capabilities of the regional budget.

In any case, the authorities of the constituent entities should rely on the list proposed by the Ministry of Health and presented on the official website of the Ministry of Health. All medicinal substances issued for the treatment of children can be combined into groups:

Groups of drugs Sample list of drugs Drugs that fight viruses interferon, influenza, viferon, acyclovir Drugs to overcome allergic reactions loratadine, cetirizine, chloropyramine Antimicrobial substances clotrimazole, metronidazole, fluconazole, etc. Anibiotic drugs azithromycin, doxycycline, tetracycline, amoxicillin, cephalexin, clarithromycin, clavulonic acid, etc. Antianemic medications to increase hemoglobin levels and normalize blood clotting: warfarin, sodium heparin, pentoxifylline Treatments for upset intestines lactulose, drotaverine (an analogue of nosh-pa), bisacodyl, omeprazole, metoclopramide, dioctahedral smectite Sorbent preparations, activated carbon, smectite Painkillers acetylsalicylic acid, diclofenac, morphine, codeine, narcotine, papaverine, thebaine, trimerperidine, etc. Medicines to reduce fever paracetamol, ibuclin, ibuprofen Medicines to fight tumors azathioprine, anastrozole, hydroxycarbamide, melafan, interferon alpha 2a and 2b , flutamide, methotrexate, mitomycin, medroxyprogesterone, etc. For patients with epilepsy valproic acid, ethosuximide, clonazepam, carbamazepine, penicillamine, topiramate and the like Psycholeptics and analeptics haloperridol, zuclopenthixol, quetiapine, oxazepane, chlorpromazine, sulpiride, thioridazine, flu penthixol, aminophenylbutyric acid, betahistine, vinpocetine, tinzanidine, piracetam, pipofezin, paroxetine, imipramine, etc. Medicines for eye diseases timolol, pilocarpine

The list also traditionally includes heart medications, medications for diabetics, asthmatics, and for children with thyroid diseases. The list may seem unfamiliar and incomprehensible to many. But it should be remembered that it does not include the trade names of drugs, but the active substances contained in the drug and necessary for the treatment of a particular disease.

List of documents

Receiving any benefit always requires first documentary confirmation of the right to it. To issue a prescription for free medicine, the pediatrician has the right to require the following documents from a mother of many children:

1. The child’s policy confirming compulsory health insurance, which the parent is required to have at every doctor’s appointment.
2. A document certifying the time and place of birth of the child (usually a certificate).
3. Green plastic card – SNILS.
4. Confirmation of registration at the place of residence (certificate).
5. A document certifying the fact of having many children.

There is no need to submit a document indicating the low material level of a family with many children. The law does not establish that one of the grounds for purchasing subsidized medicines should be insufficient financial support.

How to get drugs free of charge: step-by-step instructions

Based on the fact that in most cases pediatricians do not mention the possibility of receiving free medications due to having many children, you need to know the procedure to achieve the required result. Having learned from the doctor the diagnosis and the list of medications the child needs for recovery:

1. we remind the doctor of our right to receive tablets or medicine free of charge;
2. We require the required prescription for each drug;
3. We make sure that the paper is prepared according to all the rules: a special form (148-1 fraction uO4l), two seals (medical and institutional);
4. We go with a prescription to a state pharmacy or to a private one, with which an agreement has been concluded to provide certain groups of free medications to the population.

Remember that the prescription is written in triplicate:

• one is pasted by the doctor into the child’s outpatient card;
• one will remain in the pharmacy;
• the third will be in the parent's arms.

If the pharmacy does not have any options, the employee is obliged to put the prescription on the queue and notify the parent by phone when the medicine is available. The pediatrician's form indicates the validity period of this prescription.

As a rule, it is valid for one month. This means that it is necessary to submit it to the pharmacy during this period. If the required drug does not arrive on time, this does not make the prescription paper invalid, because the parent applied for it within the specified period.

Therefore, they are still required to provide the medicine.

If parents with many children are refused

For various reasons, parents of three or more children are not given a prescription to receive the drug free of charge. Sometimes this is completely illegal. But there is no point in shouting and swearing. Confident calm works best. What can be done to provide the family with the benefits it requires?

1. Ask the pediatrician to write on paper a refusal to issue a prescription indicating the reason for this behavior (sometimes this is enough for the doctor to change his decision).
2. Write an application (in two copies) addressed to the chief physician or head of the clinic, indicating the diagnosis and required treatment, as well as your rights to receive free medications for the baby and a link to legislative acts. We enclose a copy of the pediatrician's refusal.
3. File a complaint with regional health authorities (personal appeal, registered letter, Internet service, hotline call). When submitting a written application, we attach responses from the clinic.
4. It may be effective to contact the Ombudsman for Children's Rights in your region. Its task is to monitor compliance with the rights of minors. Contact information is posted on the official website of the Ombudsman or can be requested from the territorial social protection office.
5. Another authority is the Federal Service for Supervision in the Sphere of Healthcare.
6. There is an opportunity to contact the prosecutor's office. In this case, it will be necessary to indicate where the parents of a large family applied before.

When submitting applications to any of the organizations, you should remember that two copies are required. Officials will take one, the second must remain with the parent, and this paper must bear the signature of the employee who accepted the application and the date of acceptance. We clarify in advance how long the time frame within which the response is provided is.

The list of drugs provided on the basis of a free prescription for the treatment of young citizens from large families is formed at the regional level.

Despite the fact that children must be provided with all necessary medications, their list is limited depending on the capabilities of the regional budget.

Therefore, before demanding compliance with your rights, you need to familiarize yourself with the specific list of drugs provided free of charge in a given region of the country.

The procedure for receiving free medicines for children under 3 years of age and children from large families

Any illness of newborn children causes their parents a lot of anxiety and involves considerable financial expenses.

However, not everyone knows that in Russia, within the framework of the compulsory medical insurance system, there is a system of free provision of medicines to children.

In this article we will look at the features of the program for preferential drug provision for children, the list of medications covered by the program, as well as the procedure and conditions for receiving them.

Features of the drug benefit program

Free provision of medicines to children is regulated by Government Decree of July 30, 1994.

N 890 “On state support for the development of the medical industry and improving the provision of medicines and medical products to the population and healthcare institutions.”

This resolution identifies three categories of child patients who have advantages in the process of receiving free medications. In particular, the following are entitled to claim benefits:

• Newborns up to 3 years old - regardless of the type of illness;
• Children from 3 to 6 years old who are members of large families;
• Teenagers under 18 years of age (only in some cases, which will be discussed below).

The available list of medications sold free of charge is determined by regions. Since the financial state of regional budgets has experienced certain difficulties over the past few years, a number of prescribed medications in the period from 2014 to 2017. was greatly reduced.

The right of regions to determine a register of preferential drugs is secured by Order of the Ministry of Health dated September 18, 2006 N665 “On approval of the list of drugs, incl.

a list of medications prescribed by decision of the medical commission of health care facilities, the provision of which is carried out in accordance with the standards of medical care according to the prescriptions of a doctor/paramedic in the provision of state social assistance in the form of a set of social services.”

This order also determines the size of regional budgets for drug provision with preferential medications.

The procedure for obtaining prescribed medications

If a child falls under one of the three groups of beneficiaries listed above, his parents should contact the municipal clinic to which the child is assigned.

Based on the results of the medical examination, the doctor must write a prescription for medications in the prescribed form, providing for their free receipt. This recipe must be prepared in triplicate. One of them is filed in the medical record, and the remaining two are transferred to the pharmacy.

The prescription must bear the seal of the doctor who prescribed the medicine, as well as the seal of the medical institution to which the patient applied.

After receiving a prescription, parents should contact a social pharmacy to obtain medications. However, there is one caveat - in some cases, the required drug may not be in stock at the time of application.

In this case, the pharmacy employee is obliged to offer the client to order the drug and wait for it to appear. The order period usually varies from several days to several weeks.

If it was not possible to buy the required drug at a social pharmacy, and the rate of development of the disease does not allow wasting time waiting, then parents can purchase it at their own expense and subsequently reimburse the amount spent by contacting the compulsory medical insurance company.

The legislation in force as of 2017 does not provide for the refusal of medical institutions to issue medications. If such precedents arise, parents should file a complaint with the management of the clinic, the prosecutor's office or the territorial department of the Ministry of Health - usually in such cases the situation is resolved in favor of the client.

What documents are needed to receive medications?

In accordance with the above-mentioned Government Resolution No. 890 of July 30, 1994, doctors at municipal medical institutions are not authorized to prescribe free medications to children upon routine requests from parents.

Before requiring the staff of a medical institution to issue a prescription for an extraordinary receipt of medications for a child, parents need to contact their clinic to be placed in line in the register of beneficiaries.

To do this, you need to contact the clinic with the following package of documents (as well as their photocopies):

• Child's birth certificate;
• SNILS certificate;
• Compulsory medical insurance policy issued for a child;
• Certificate of registration.

After receiving the above documents, the employee must verify the documents and enter the child’s name in the register of beneficiaries. Only after this procedure will the attending doctor have the right to issue a prescription for free subsidized medications.

The procedure for obtaining medications for children from large families

A separate group of beneficiaries includes families consisting of 3 or more children - large families. If necessary, each child from such a family is provided with free medications until they reach the age of 6. At the same time, this category of patients has a priority right to the prescribed medications.

To take advantage of the state benefit, parents with many children are required to provide the same list of documents as when applying for benefits for children under 3 years of age from ordinary families.

In addition to this list, you must additionally present official documents confirming the fact of having many children.

The health worker has no right to demand any other certificates (for example, about the income of a large family).

Rights to free medicines for children under 18 years of age

At the beginning of the article, we noted that in some cases children and adolescents under 18 years of age may receive the right to receive free medications. In this case, we are talking only about cases in which the child suffers from certain ailments. In particular, these include:

• Diabetes and other metabolic disorders;
• Cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's syndrome, mental disorders;
• Immunodeficiency;
• Oncological pathologies;
• Hematological disorders;
• Tuberculosis process;
• Asthma;
• Rheumatoid processes;
• Some ophthalmological, dermatological pathologies, etc.

This list also includes health problems that arose after surgery on the heart muscle, tissue or organ transplantation. The register of drugs that are provided free of charge includes almost 500 types of drugs. Along with tablets, dressing materials and individual medical products are provided free of charge.

List of medications provided free of charge

The general list of free medicines available under the preferential provision program consists of more than 400 types of medicinal products (it is demonstrated on the official page of the Ministry of Health). As of the beginning of 2017, these included the following categories of medications:

• Antiviral;
• Antianemic;
• Antiallergic;
• Probiotic products;
• Drop solutions for the eyes and nasal cavity;
• Pharmacological products used in the fight against infections;
• Painkillers, antipyretics;
• Drugs for convulsive syndrome, for the treatment of central nervous system pathologies, etc.

Most often, children are prescribed antibacterial and antiviral drugs (Amoxicillin, Anaferon), and antiallergic drugs (Suprastin). Probiotics (“Bifidumbacterin”), iron-containing products (“Iron Hydroxide”), etc. are no less in demand.

Conclusion

Thus, the state guarantees the provision of free medicines to all children who belong to the age category under 3 years.

Children from large families also have the right to benefits, and they are provided with medications for up to 6 years.

In order to use social benefits without any problems, you must collect a package of documents in advance and present it to an authorized employee of the medical clinic.

Free medicines for large families in 2019 - how to get them?

In order for a large family to benefit from compensation and benefits, the rights to them are first confirmed. To do this, it is important to obtain a certificate for a large family.

So, what kind of family can be called large? If there are three or more children. It would seem that this is an obvious fact, but some parents complain that obtaining official status is not so easy. Sometimes it goes to court.

According to the law, the status of a large family is established by regional authorities.

The concept of “large family” is enshrined in the laws of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. In addition, each region has its own regulations that provide for measures of support for citizens with children who have not yet reached adulthood.

Often, large families are assigned the status of low-income families, as a result of which benefits are also provided.

The poor are families whose average income per person is less than the subsistence level. When determining status, the reasons why income is so low are taken into account.

A family is not recognized as low-income if the parents are able-bodied citizens, but they do not have a job due to alcoholism or drug addiction.

Establishing the status of a “low-income family” depends on the number of people in the family and their income level. Family members are not only spouses, children, sisters, brothers, but also adoptive parents and adopted children, grandfather, grandmother, grandchildren, stepmother and stepfather, stepson and stepdaughter, ward and guardian. A prerequisite is maintaining a common household and, of course, living together.

Low-income and large families have a difficult financial situation, for this reason many who are concerned are interested in whether large families are entitled to receive free medicines? You will definitely learn about this from this article.

Benefits for large families

What are the benefits for medicines for large families? Children under six years of age have the right to receive free medicines and are provided with free orthopedic products. In addition, children in such families receive vouchers to medical sanatoriums every year.

Lists of free medicines

Thanks to government provision and current legislation, citizens can receive free medical care.

The list of medications that are provided free of charge both during outpatient and inpatient treatment is indicated in the government decree. Many such medications are available only with a prescription from healthcare professionals.

For outpatient treatment, you get a 50% discount on many drugs. So what free medicines are available to large families?

Who is eligible for free medications and how to get them

All patients of state clinics and hospitals should know who is entitled to free medicines - many beneficiaries do not even suspect that they have the right to receive government support.

In this article you will find information about who can receive medications for free or at a 50% discount, as well as what to do if you have a prescription for medications, but the pharmacy does not have the necessary medications.

Who is eligible for free medicines

The list of categories of citizens who have the right to receive free medicines is given in Appendix 1 to the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation “On State Support...” dated July 30, 1994 No. 890.

The following may receive medications free of charge:

• WWII participants (including intelligence officers, military personnel who served in military units, employees of enterprises that performed tasks for the needs of the army and navy, members of partisan detachments);
• disabled people of the Second World War;
• parents and wives of military personnel who died defending the country or subsequently from wounds received at the front;
• residents and defenders of besieged Leningrad;
• heroes of the USSR and the Russian Federation;
• former minor prisoners of concentration camps;
• veterans of military operations that took place on the territory of other states (in particular, Afghanistan);
• children under 3 years old (for large families - up to 6 years old);
• disabled people of group I; non-working disabled people of group II, as well as disabled children under the age of majority;
• citizens who were negatively affected by the consequences of the Chernobyl accident;
• persons who received radiation sickness as a result of other nuclear disasters and tests;
• small peoples of the Far North;
• some groups of the population diagnosed with helminthiasis.

List of free medicines for children under 3 years of age and large families

Free medicines are provided to children under three years of age. At the same time, the financial situation of the family does not influence the emergence of such a right - medications are given to all children as prescribed by the doctor.

If there are three or more children in a family, the length of time that the child can be given medication increases.

Free medicines for large families are given to children under 6 years of age (Appendix 1 to Resolution No. 890).

The list of medications given to children is not specified in Resolution No. 890 - the text of the document contains only a vague indication that “all medications” can be provided, but in practice this is not the case.

In each region of the country, the list of medications given to children under 3 years of age is established separately. The corresponding right of the authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation is enshrined in clause 2, part 1, art. 16 of the Law “On the Fundamentals of Protection...” dated 21.11.

2011 No. 323-FZ.

The basis for compiling regional lists is the List of Vital and Essential Medicines, established annually by order of the Government of the Russian Federation. For example, in 2019 it was approved by Government Order No. 2738-r dated December 10, 2018. In particular, children may be given:

• iron supplements;
• intestinal preparations;
• different types of antibiotics and antimicrobials;
• immunostimulants of various types;
• mucolytic drugs;
• preparations for the treatment of coughs and colds;
• antihistamines, etc.

What medications are prescribed for type 2 diabetics for diabetes?

Diabetes mellitus is a common disease that can occur due to the synthesis of insulin in an amount insufficient for the normal functioning of the body (type 1) or due to a violation of its absorption by cells and tissues (type 2).

Regardless of the cause of the disease, diabetics have the right to receive free medications to maintain the normal state of the body.

If a patient with diabetes mellitus has been assigned a disability, the answer to the question of what medications are provided to type 2 diabetics free of charge can be found in the federal legislation establishing the list of medications issued to disabled people (see.

Order of the Government of the Russian Federation “On approval...” dated December 10, 2018 No. 2738-r).

Free medications for type 2 diabetes mellitus in the absence of disability are issued on the basis of the same order No. 2738-r - drugs for the treatment of diabetes are included in group A10.

Diabetics are given free of charge:

• insulin;
• tablets to lower blood sugar levels;
• injection syringes;
• test strips for glucometers, etc.

Free medicines for pregnant women

At the federal level, there is no list of free medications provided to pregnant women. Clause 5 of Resolution No. 890 contains a recommendation to regional authorities to establish additional benefits for socially vulnerable categories of citizens, including pregnant women.

• That is why, when prescribing medications, doctors are guided by regulations and laws in force in a particular region of the country.
• As a rule, pregnant women are given free of charge:

• iodine and iron preparations;
• folic acid;
• multivitamins for expectant mothers;
• hormonal drugs indicated for the threat of miscarriage, etc.

Free medicines for pensioners - how to get them

Pensioners are not included in the list of categories of citizens who are entitled to free medicines. They can receive medications necessary for medical reasons at a 50% discount (Appendix 2 to Resolution No. 890).

This right arises for persons who have received pensioner status:

• in connection with reaching retirement age;
• assignment of disability;
• loss of a breadwinner.

A prerequisite for obtaining a benefit is to receive a minimum pension.

1. To purchase medications at a reduced cost, you must:

• contact the territorial branch of the Pension Fund where the citizen was assigned a pension;
• submit an application for the provision of a social service in kind or cash (in accordance with the provisions of Part 3 of Article 6.3 of the Law “On State..." dated July 17, 1999 No. 178-FZ, a citizen entitled to receive a benefit may refuse to provide it in return for payment of monetary compensation).

Download the appropriate application form and receive detailed information about the procedure and rules for the provision of social services on the official website of the Pension Fund.

List of free medicines for disabled people

Working disabled people of group II and disabled people of group III can also receive medicines at half the cost. Disabled people of group I and non-working disabled people of group II can receive medicines completely free of charge.

You can get free medications that are included in the list of vital and essential drugs (approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 2738-r).

The list is very extensive - in 2019 it included 735 drugs aimed at treating:

• digestive tract and metabolism;
• problems with blood and hematopoiesis;
• of cardio-vascular system;
• dermatological diseases;
• genitourinary system;
• hormonal system;
• microbial diseases;
• tumor formations;
• musculoskeletal system;
• nervous system;
• diseases caused by parasites;
• respiratory system;
• sense organs;
• other health problems.

How to get free medicines at the clinic

Parents of small children and pregnant women should know how to get free medicines at the clinic - these socially vulnerable categories of the population do not need to contact the Pension Fund. All necessary documents can be completed at the clinic.

To receive free medicines, you must:

• attach to a clinic at your place of residence;
• contact your doctor (general practitioner, pediatrician or specialized specialist);
• obtain a prescription from a doctor for the issuance of free medications (the document is certified by the doctor’s signature, as well as the seal of the clinic to which the patient is assigned);
• provide a prescription to a pharmacy that dispenses free medications (the exact addresses of such pharmacies should be checked with the doctor who prescribed the medications).

When filling out a prescription, the doctor must use the forms established by the order of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation “On approval...” dated December 20, 2012 No. 1175n. Forms filled out incorrectly are considered invalid.

If there are no free medicines in the pharmacy - what to do, where to complain

In accordance with paragraph.

21 of Appendix No. 1 to Order No. 1175n of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation, the length of time during which the prescription must be used depends on the form of the form on which it was written out, as well as on the category to which the patient belongs:

• 15 days - for prescriptions in form No. 148-1/u-88;
• 30 days - for prescriptions in form No. 148-1/u-04 (l) and No. 148-1/u-06 (l);
• 90 days - for prescriptions issued in the name of citizens of retirement age, disabled people of group I, disabled children, as well as persons suffering from chronic diseases.

Quite often, even with a prescription issued by a doctor, obtaining medications becomes a problem. The necessary medications are simply not available in pharmacies, which are part of the system of providing the population with preferential medications. Your prescription may expire before your doctor's prescriptions are available. This situation violates the rights of patients granted to them by federal law, so the problem must be solved, and this must be done consistently.

If medications prescribed by a doctor are not available, but medications with similar pharmacological effects are available, the pharmacist can offer them to the client. Upon receipt of consent for replacement, medications are issued to the patient, and the prescription is considered canceled.

If the patient refuses to receive analogues, the pharmacist must:

• accept the prescription provided;
• register it in the journal of recipes whose execution is deferred;
• include missing medications in the request sent to the drug supplier.

Important! The missing medicine must be provided within 10 working days from the moment the patient contacts the pharmacy (clause 2.7 of the order of the Ministry of Health and Social Development dated December 29, 2004 No. 328). If after the specified period the medicine has not appeared, contact the territorial office of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation with a corresponding application. You can leave a request in person, by phone or on the website. Contacts of the government agency are posted on its official website.

***

So, the basis for issuing medications for free or with a 50% discount is a prescription written by the beneficiary’s attending physician.

Categories of citizens entitled to receive benefits are established by federal and regional legislation.

To obtain accurate information about which medications and in what volume should be issued in each specific case, contact the territorial office of the Ministry of Health and ask its representative all your questions.
