If you’ve come from one of the 27 Member States of the European Union, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway or Switzerland and have a European card of health insurance, you are guaranteed state health care services in the case of an accident. You need to be aware that the card does not cover the expenses of health care services provided by the private sector.
If you are a citizen of a country outside the EU, you must contact one of the insurance companies, the list of which you can find on the website of Lithuanian Insurers Association (LDA).These are some agencies who help the outside citizens to find out a proper center where they can go and have their planned insurance.
Students above the age of 18 could be considered for insurance and get free medical care. To do so, they must present a document, proving their status as a student, to the territorial health insurance fund. Then, if you want to get registered at a health center, you will have to fill in an application on a special form at the reception desk and present a document proving personal identity (with the photo and a National Identification Number). If they do not have such documents then it is possible that they will not be provided with the insurance claim and facilities.
