data and information about a patient’s health status, illnesses, contraindications, as well as specialists’ recommendations. Based on this information, the sanatorium doctor can prescribe appropriate treatment and diet for you. For children traveling on a sanatorium-resort voucher, a certificate in Form 076u-04 is required.
The information in the sanatorium-resort medical card helps ensure an individualized approach for each patient, which significantly increases the effectiveness of treatment.
The document includes:
- General patient information – full name, date of birth, contact information.
- Medical history – chronic diseases, past illnesses, and surgeries.
- Examination results – laboratory tests, X-rays, and other diagnostic data.
- Doctor’s recommendations – indications and contraindications for sanatorium treatment, including the necessary procedures.
Main steps for obtaining a sanatorium-resort medical card:
- Make an appointment with a doctor. First, you need to consult a general practitioner or a pediatrician if the card is being issued for a child.
- Medical examination. During the appointment, the doctor will examine you, listen to your complaints, and collect your medical history. Depending on your health condition, various examinations may be prescribed, such as blood tests, ultrasound, X-rays, etc.
- Filling out the card. After receiving all the necessary information, the doctor will complete the sanatorium-resort medical card. It is important to provide the doctor with as much detailed information about your health as possible to avoid possible complications during treatment at the sanatorium.
- Receiving the card. After the card is completed, you will receive it in paper form, although in some cases the document may be issued electronically.
- Additional recommendations. After receiving the sanatorium-resort medical card, it is recommended to review the rules and conditions of treatment at your chosen sanatorium, and also clarify what other documents may be required for admission.
Form 072-u certificate is valid for 60 days from the date of issuance. It is recommended to start the process at least 10–14 days before the planned trip, as this is usually the time required to complete all tests and obtain specialist consultations in a state polyclinic. The card can also be issued in a private medical center, provided it has the appropriate license.
When going to a sanatorium, do not forget to bring your passport, SNILS (individual insurance account number), and compulsory health insurance policy (OMS), as well as a child’s birth certificate if you are traveling with children.
Please note that for stays under the “Wellness” program, a sanatorium-resort medical card is not required.
