For students of the Faculty of Medicine
A general health insurance valid for Hungary is a requirement for registration for each semester at the University of Szeged. The insurance needs to provide full coverage for all eventualities, therefore eg. life or accident insurances are not acceptable.

Upper year students whose tuition fee does not include the fee for the Generali Studium health insurance can request the health insurance through the Modulo system (Submission >> Students' Service Office >> Request for Generali Studium health insurance.) The fee for the health insurance is 34 000 HUF.
• International Health Insurance
International health insurances are only acceptable if they offer full coverage in Hungary. The insurance is usually contracted in the student's home country.
The costs of medical treatments have to be paid by the student. Refund of the costs is to be claimed retrospectively from the student’s insurance company.
• European Health Insurance Card (EHIC)
According to the European Union law, citizens from EEA countries are subjects of free medical care (or at reduced cost) in emergency cases or if treatment becomes necessary during their visit abroad (for example, due to illness or an accident), provided they have a valid European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) at hand from an EEA member home country.
The EHIC can only be used in the framework of public health care provision. Medical treatment is only offered by surgeries contracted with the Országos Egészségbiztosítási Pénztár (OEP).
