A spa treatment card (certificate 072-u) is a medical document containing personal data and information about the patient's health, illnesses, contraindications, and specialist recommendations. Based on this information, the spa doctor will be able to prescribe appropriate treatment and nutrition. Children will need a certificate in form 076u-04 for a spa treatment voucher.
The data in the spa card helps ensure an individualized approach to each patient, which significantly improves the effectiveness of treatment.
The document includes:
- General patient information – full name, date of birth, contact information.
- Medical history – chronic conditions, past illnesses, and surgeries.
- Examination results – tests, X-rays, and other diagnostic data.
- Doctor's recommendations – indications and contraindications for treatment at the spa, indicating the necessary procedures.
Key steps for obtaining a spa card:
1. Make an appointment with a doctor. First, you should contact your general practitioner or pediatrician if you are applying for a card for a child.
2. Medical examination. During your appointment, the doctor will conduct an examination, listen to your complaints, and collect your medical history. Depending on your health condition, various tests may be prescribed, such as blood tests, ultrasounds, X-rays, etc.
3. Completing the card. After receiving all the necessary information, the doctor will complete the spa card. It is important to provide the doctor with as complete information as possible about your health to avoid possible complications during treatment at the spa.
4. Receiving the card. After completing the card, you will receive it in person, but in some cases the document may be issued electronically.
5. Additional Recommendations. After receiving your spa card, we recommend familiarizing yourself with the rules and conditions of treatment at the resort you have chosen, and also clarifying any other documents that may be required for check-in.
Certificate 072-u is valid for 60 days from the date of issue. It's best to begin the process at least 10-14 days before your intended trip—this is approximately how long it usually takes to complete all tests and obtain specialist reports at a public clinic. The card can also be obtained at a private medical center if it has the appropriate license.
When planning a sanatorium stay, don't forget your passport, SNILS (Individual Insurance Account Number), and compulsory medical insurance policy, as well as your child's birth certificate if traveling with children.
