The Department of Health and Social Care (clinic) of the TEI is able to issue a Student Treatment Card to cover hospital, medical and dental care. Eligible for this Student Treatment Card are all uninsured students, in other words those who are NOT covered by their parents’ social security organisation.
Furthermore, students already insured to other social security organisations are entitled to student insurance, as long as they are deleted by their previous social security organisation (e.g. IKA, TSMEDE, TEBE, OGA, NAT, etc).
The issue of a Student Treatment Card requires the following documents:
- Certificate that the student is deleted from the social security organisation
- Solemn Declaration according to Law No 1599/1986
- Two photographs
In case that the student is covered by his/her parents’ insurance organisation, in other words he/she is entitled to use the family treatment card, yet this cannot be used due to long distance, it is possible to issue a personal treatment card upon presenting to the parents’ social security organisation the following:
- Enrolment certificate from the Department
- Certificate from the TEI clinic that no insurance is provided.
- One photograph
