A family
physician provides general medical care and guarantees the availability and
consistency of health care services. The areas of activity of a family
physician are:
- improving health and preventing illnesses;
- diagnosing illnesses and treating patients;
- redirecting patients to active or maintenance care.
In order
to get a family physician, an application shall be submitted to the family
physician for them to enter the person into their list. The cost of family
physician services is paid from the state budget for people who are covered by
health insurance. A person without health insurance shall cover their general
medical care expenses by themselves.
It is
possible to check your family physician via the e-services of an internet bank,
in the state web portal eesti.ee (e-services of the Health Insurance Fund) or
