Documents for this insurance: for the conclusion of the insurance contract a self-copying duplicate statement plus an insurance card must be completed. The statement is in English, as we offer our STUDIUM product to foreign citizens speaking English. The card is bilingual (English and Hungarian), because the card is intended for the Insured with a good command of English plus provides insurance information, mainly for emergency cases, to the institution giving medical care. On the statement and on the card, personal information enabling the identification of the Insured and indispensable for contract conclusion must be given completely and accurately; further, they include the major data of the insurance (validity, premium, serial number, etc.). When completing the statement, it is enough to complete the upper form of the self-copying duplicate package, as the data will be copied to the duplicate at the time of the completion (please use a pen and apply sufficient pressure). However, please note that the Policyholder and the Insured must sign both copies of the card and the statement of the Insured in the appropriate columns so that these documents are legally valid and the insurance can take effect.
The original (upper copy) of the statement will be the Insurer’s copy, while the Insured can keep the duplicate as well as the health insurance card. Please note that the Insured should always keep with himself/herself the card and his/her passport because the card is valid together with the passport.

 

Process of concluding the insurance contract: please read all insurance-related documents (see details below) before the contract conclusion. If you want to conclude the insurance, with the assistance of the insurance agent or the administration officer, please fill in both the statement and the card accurately, sign them at all places as required (see above), and hand over the whole amount of the premium to the insurance agent or the administration officer; you can keep the card (which should be kept with you at all times together with your passport) and the duplicate of the statement, and thereby the insurance takes effect, in other words, it becomes valid.
