Frequently asked questions

Does employment automatically mean I need private insurance?

Not always. Some employees enter the Czech public health insurance system. Your employer, type of employment and immigration status matter. Verify your situation before buying private coverage.

When should my insurance start?

Your insurance dates should reflect your actual situation, including arrival, start of employment and any visa or residence requirements.

Can I buy insurance before arriving?

You can review options and apply online, but first confirm the coverage you need for your visa and employment status.
