Such assistance also includes preferential vouchers allocated for the amendment of health.

What documents are required?
It depends on the source of funding:
1. Thanks to the Social Insurance Fund (at the expense of the federal budget).
To get a ticket, you must go to the doctor in charge of the medical institution, depending on the place of residence. If there are medical indications, and there are no contraindications for spa treatment, the doctor fills out the appropriate form for a ticket that contains the following information: name of the resort, recommended season (ticket valid for six months), spa profile. A statement on the provision of a free ticket to the sanatorium and a certificate must be addressed to the regional department of the FSS of the Russian Federation.
In addition, in order to get a ticket to spa treatment, you must provide the following:
- documents that confirm the classification of a person in one or another preferential category (ITU certificate on the designation of disability, certificate, etc.);
- individual rehabilitation scheme for a disabled person;
- passport;
- a certificate confirming the citizen’s right to receive social assistance from the state in the form of a list of social services (you can get it at the pension fund department).
Within two weeks you will receive a message from the Fund about the possibility of obtaining a ticket to the sanatorium for pensioners and other categories of citizens, which corresponds to the declared profile of therapy, with a note on the date of arrival.
A citizen receives such a ticket filled out with the seal of the relevant executive body of the FSS, as well as with information about payment at the expense of federal funds and the impossibility of sale. After the sanatorium-resort voucher has been received (not earlier than two months before the time of its validity), you need to get the appropriate card in the clinic that issues the certificate for the purchase of the voucher. When the spa treatment ends (no later than a month), you need to give the return ticket to the clinic, and the sanatorium will return the tear-off ticket to the FSS of the Russian Federation.
2. Patients in need of aftercare in the hospital (at the expense of regional budgets).
A preferential queue for a ticket to a sanatorium for rehabilitation can be provided only to working citizens where they are registered, immediately after treatment in a hospital. The need for its provision is established by the medical commission of this medical institution, depending on the procedure for sending employees for rehabilitation (aftercare) immediately after inpatient therapy in specialized departments (sanatoriums), which are approved by order of the Ministry of Social Development and Health of the Russian Federation dated January 27, 2006 No. 44. For the period of rehabilitation treatment, a citizen shall be extended a sick leave up to twenty-four days.
What is the cost of a trip to a sanatorium?
The cost depends entirely on the sanatorium, services, as well as on the season. On average, one night will have to pay 4000-5000 thousand rubles. The duration of treatment is standard - 10 days.
What payments are required from a citizen when receiving a sanatorium voucher?
Upon receipt of a voucher through the FSS of the Russian Federation, as well as a rehabilitation voucher, a citizen is paid in full a sanatorium-resort voucher for a period of 18 to 24 days to the sanatorium located on the territory of our country, as well as the round-trip fare. All details must be found in the FSS branch at the place of residence.
Medicines taken continuously by a person must be taken care of in advance on their own. Departments and departments establish the financing procedure, as well as the amount of payments for the spa treatment of their own pensioners and employees independently. To get clarification on the procedure for obtaining benefits, you need to contact the appropriate department.
Type of sanatorium to which the permit is provided
Not every sanatorium in Kislovodsk and other resort towns will accept citizens on preferential vouchers.
From the federal budget at the expense of the FSS of the Russian Federation, you can get a ticket to those sanatoriums that have concluded an appropriate agreement with the FSS located in various resort regions of the country.
Patients who need additional therapy after the hospital (at the expense of the regional budget), a ticket is provided to the relevant local sanatorium, which provides aftercare services for this category of citizens and is included in the list of local regulations. The list is regularly reviewed. Most likely, the person will be sent to a sanatorium at the place of residence, since this is the most rational approach.
Pensioners and employees of a number of departments and agencies are provided with permits to those sanatoriums that belong to the corresponding structures.
Duration of preferential voucher
The duration of treatment is 18 days, 21 days for children with disabilities, and for people with disabilities who have diseases and consequences of brain and spinal cord injuries, from 24 to 42 days.
Voucher for rehabilitation lasts up to 24 days. The patient at this time, respectively, is extended sick leave.
How to check the preferential queue for a ticket to the sanatorium?
A citizen who is in the preferential category and has applied for a free ticket to a dispensary or sanatorium in order to maintain his health can find out the serial number in the queue on the FSS official website. This requires only the presence of SNILS (its number), it must be entered in a specially designed field without spaces or hyphens. Depending on the changes occurring with human diseases, the queue may decrease or increase.
Thus, it is quite easy to find out the line for a discounted ticket to a sanatorium.
