Chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers Adylbek Kasymaliev signed a resolution introducing adjustments to the conditions for providing medical and sanitary care. The changes affect the rules for paying for dental procedures for various categories of the population.
Essence of the changes in the guarantees program
According to the document, a paragraph defining the payment procedure for citizens not belonging to preferential categories has been excluded from the State Guarantees Program. Previously, this provision established that other categories of the population had to pay for dentistry at full cost according to a unified price list.
It is important to note that the exclusion of this clause does not mean an automatic transition of dental services to the category of free for all citizens. The payment procedure is still regulated by other provisions of the program.
How assistance is distributed
Under the current program, several levels of dental care provision are provided:
- A free basic package for certain categories of the population.
- Free assistance for specific beneficiaries within an additional package.
- A 50 percent discount for citizens insured under compulsory medical insurance.
Context
The changes are being made to the State Guarantees Program, which was approved by Cabinet of Ministers Resolution No. 493 dated September 21, 2023. The new rules will enter into force 10 days after the signing of the document.
