2. Health insur ance and medical care All insured people have a family doctor who treats minor illnesses and can make home visits if needed. No referral is needed to visit a medical specialist like a psychiatrist, gynaecologist, eye specialist, dentist, lung specialist for tuberculosis, STD specialist, infection specialist for HIV/AIDS, surgeon or trauma specialist. International students are advised to sign up with a family doctor at your host institution of higher education. The International Relations Offices can give you more information. For a doctor’s visit you should bring: - European Health Insurance Card, which is issued to European citizens by your home health institutions - Or private insurance documents If the doctor you visit has a contract with the Estonian Health Insurance Fund you pay only a small fixed fee for each visit. If the doctor does not have a contract you must pay for the full cost of the health service yourself.
