The choice of place for treatment is a guaranteed right of any person. Some people prefer public clinics, others want to be examined and undergo therapy in a commercial institution. However, not everyone knows whether it is possible to get sick leave in a private clinic. Naturally, this possibility is provided, but the patient must follow the procedure for registering and receiving such a document.

Right to receive sick leave

Employed citizens have a number of social guarantees that are provided by the state and the employer himself. One of them is the opportunity not to attend the workplace when sick. In addition to the fact that the employee has the right to legal absenteeism, sick time must be paid for by the employer and the social security fund in accordance with established standards. But to receive both the first and second benefits, a citizen must prove the fact of illness; this can only be done by presenting a sick leave certificate to the employer.

In the Russian Federation, sick leave is issued in the following cases:

1. Diseases of a working citizen.
2. In case of illness or injury of relatives of working persons, provided that they need to be cared for.

In fact, a person has the right to open a ballot not only when disability affects him personally, but also when his children, husband, wife, parents and other family members are sick.

Institutions issuing the form

You can obtain a sick leave certificate by contacting a doctor. The fact of illness should be recorded at the very beginning, because a retrospective bulletin is issued only if a doctor was called to the house or an ambulance arrived.

A certificate of incapacity for work is a document that records the presence of a disease and indicates the dates of the onset of the disease and its end, as well as admission to work. Since this form is the basis for receiving benefits and not attending work, it is a document of strict accountability. Accordingly, they can only be issued by specialized institutions that have the opportunity to purchase forms and enter information into them. Purchasing blank or completed forms from institutions that have no basis for issuing them is a criminal offense.

Ballots can be opened by medical institutions that have a specialized license. All medical organizations are divided according to a general classification into two types:

1. Consulting patients.
2. Providing not only consulting, but also practical assistance.

Although both types are subordinate to the all-Russian health organization, they have different opportunities.

State clinics

State clinics, hospitals and medical centers provide paid services along with free ones, but this does not in any way affect their ability to issue sick leave. All government medical institutions can provide bulletins to referred patients. There is a list of exceptions to the general rule.

State-issued medical institutions that are not included in the list of exceptions to the rules are licensed for two types of activities at once - consulting and practical, and therefore can issue bulletins. Forms of certificates of incapacity for work are purchased by clinics and hospitals in specialized institutions that have received permission from the State Sign to sell them.

Private clinics

With private medical clinics, everything is not so clear. On the one hand, there are no restrictions when choosing a medical institution in Russia. A citizen, when choosing a hospital, should be guided solely by his own beliefs. Treatment for a fee, although expensive, is often more convenient. This includes the absence of queues and a more loyal attitude towards patients. However, when choosing a clinic, the citizen himself should ask whether the institution has the official ability to issue ballots. To do this, you should request a license and make sure that the medical organization is allowed not only to consult, but also to treat patients.

Most paid medical centers specialize exclusively in consulting activities, although they do not advertise this. In fact, they can only take tests and conduct comprehensive studies of the body, but not receive recommendations for the treatment and elimination of identified diseases. Often the only way to find out about this is to request a ballot. Until this moment, they can position themselves as a medical institution, although they are not one.

Some nuances of receiving sick leave in a paid clinic

Receipt of this document is possible both on the day of treatment and upon discharge of the patient. If you choose the first option, you will need to take the paper with you to your next appointment.

Without insurance policy

Not every person has a valid compulsory health insurance policy. But this does not deprive him of the right to receive the necessary help. To obtain proof of incapacity for work and avoid standing in line, you should contact a private doctor. There, the patient is obliged to pay according to the price list for all services provided to him. However, it is not recommended to throw away the receipt - you will need it to receive sick leave. In addition, other documents will be required:

• passport;
• pension insurance certificate.

If the old expired policy is not lost, then it is also better to take it with you.

If there is a need for emergency medical care, the victim should call an ambulance. After providing services, the paramedic issues an extract on the basis of which sick leave will be issued. If the patient is undergoing inpatient treatment, he will receive a bulletin from the doctor of the department where he received therapy.

In a strange city

If it is temporarily impossible to obtain a certificate of incapacity for work at your place of registration, you can go to specialists in the region or city where the victim actually lives. After completing the treatment course, he will receive a certificate. You need to contact your local physician, who will issue a sick leave.

On a non-working day

When contacting a doctor after the end of the working day, you need to open the sheet from the next day. Otherwise, payment will not be received in full. You can receive a ballot confirming a disability at a commercial establishment even on a day off. The doctor on duty can issue it.

Backdated registration and fake certificate

Some patients are interested in whether private clinics can issue sick leave retroactively. They are also trying to buy a fake certificate. If an institution values ​​such a reputation, then it will not do this. An employer has the right to submit a request for the medical history of its employee to check how conscientious he is.

It is important to know! If the deception is discovered, the patient may be fined, reprimanded, or fired. In some cases, for forgery, an employee is subject to criminal liability or community service for up to 480 hours. In this case, the medical institution risks its reputation and license.

Mandatory requirements for a medical institution

The inability of most private medical organizations to obtain a license to practice is due to the complexity of the procedure. The requirements of the Ministry of Health when obtaining permission are so great and financially expensive that not everyone can do it.

To obtain a license, a clinic must meet the following conditions:

1. The building in which it is located is the private property of the owner and is not rented.
2. The institution has a full range of necessary equipment, which is also purchased and registered in accordance with established legislative standards.
3. The staff is staffed according to established standards, which vary depending on the area of ​​medical activity.
4. Each employee has a qualification corresponding to his position and at least three years of work experience.
5. Permits have been issued for all special medical technical and non-technical installations.
6. Regular quality control of services is carried out.
7. Medicines are obtained, stored and used in accordance with special rules.
8. All documentation is maintained.
9. Employee qualifications are upgraded at least once every five years.

The patient is not required to delve into all the intricacies of licensing, but has the right to request this document at any time.

If you have a license and its validity has not expired, then you can not only receive treatment in the clinic, but also take sick leave, which has the same guarantees as those issued in government organizations.

How to apply for sick leave in a private clinic

The process of issuing a certificate of incapacity for work is no different from the procedure for issuing it in a government agency. The algorithm is like this:

1. Call a paid institution and find out whether it has a license, that is, whether it issues sick leave.
2. If the answer is positive, feel free to make an appointment with a doctor or call him at home.

The patient management scheme is standard. The doctor observes the patient until he recovers. After recovery, he receives a document of the required sample, which indicates the reason for the disability, how many days the person was sick, and when he can start working.

Where you can’t get sick leave

When issuing ballots, one should be guided, first of all, by Order of the Ministry of Health and Social Development of Russia N 624n dated June 29, 2011. It contains information about the rules for issuing and processing sick leave certificates, and also specifies places where this cannot be done under any circumstances, regardless of the form of ownership of the organization.

Thus, a certificate of incapacity for work cannot be issued directly from:

1. Emergency doctor.
2. Worker at a blood transfusion station.
3. Doctor in the emergency room.
4. A doctor at a physical education clinic.
5. Personnel of medical prevention institutions and mud baths.
6. Working in emergency rooms.
7. Forensic medical expert.
8. Employees of disaster medicine centers.

But many of the listed institutions can record the onset of the disease, thereby making it possible to obtain a certificate of incapacity for work retroactively, but by going to a hospital or clinic. These include ambulances, emergency rooms, emergency rooms.

Rules for registering sick leave

A certificate of temporary incapacity for work issued in a paid center does not differ from that issued in a regular public hospital.

Clinics of all categories use uniform forms established by law. The sick leave sheet is a blue/blue sheet with fields printed on a PC for filling out.

A doctor from a paid clinic must fill out the document, based on the laws and requirements established by the Ministry of Health. Among the main rules for filling out and formatting paper are:

• The information on the front side is printed on a PC or by hand. If it is a pen, then the information is written in capital and clear block letters;
• During the filling process, it is allowed to use a fountain, helium or capillary pen of black color;
• The time limits for document renewal are established strictly on the basis of legislation;
• A certificate of incapacity for work is issued for a period of 3 to 15 days. It all depends on the problem with which the patient came to the medical service center for help;
• A document cannot be unpaid or reduced on the sole basis that it was issued at a paid center.

If the sick leave is filled out according to the rules, if it is not fake, the head of the enterprise has no right not to pay for it.

Issuing algorithm

Both state and non-state medical organizations issue bulletins according to a single algorithm. To draw up a document, it is necessary to first record the fact of illness or injury. To do this, you need to contact your local or attending physician, who will perform an examination and confirm its presence. On the same day, a certificate of incapacity for work is opened. It is given to the patient during outpatient treatment or kept by the doctor while in the hospital.

Patients who are being treated at home are required to visit the doctor at strictly prescribed times. To do this, a note about the date of the next appointment is placed on the form. Failure to appear at the appointed time is considered a violation of the hospital regime and entails negative consequences in the form of special marks or even forced closure of the document before the person recovers.

If the treatment is successful, the doctor closes the sick leave and gives permission to begin his direct work duties. A citizen can come to the workplace only after the ballot is closed.

How much does it cost to issue a certificate?

Registration of a certificate of incapacity for work will not require additional costs from the citizen. You only need to pay for a routine specialist appointment.

There will be at least two visits: on the first visit of the patient, the sick leave is opened, on the second, the health worker closes it. You can also get a newsletter from a private clinic for child care. If other family members can care for the child in the first days of illness, the working mother will receive sick leave from the required date.
