52 You will then receive a document with your ID number which you will have to present to your employer. Your employer will then forward all the necessary information to the EHIF, the Tax and Customs Board and the social Insurance Board, so that you will have health insurance and other rights resulting from paid taxes. When visiting a doctor you only need to take an identification document with you and the clinic will be able to find out all of the necessary information using your identification number. some people, for example children and pregnant women from the 12 th week of pregnancy, have the same rights as taxpayers. The EHIF pays for visits to doctors and hospital treatment, and covers part of the cost of some medicines. The EHIF covers the costs of medical treatment, apart from the fee for visiting medical specialists (50 kroons) and the hospital in-patient fee (25 kroons per day). First aid in the event of emergencies is free of charge for everybody. The EHIF pays sickness benefits on the basis of a certificate of incapacity for work, which you receive from your doctor and must then present to your employer.

If the family members of an EU citizen remain in their home country, their health insurance can be covered by the EHIF after the E109 form has been issued by the EHIF and registered in the country of residence of the family members. EU citizens are also insured as long as their European health insurance card is valid on the basis of previous work or other insurance conditions in their home country. In the event of short-term work, you should check the term of validity of your health insurance and your European health insurance card. If your European health insurance card is valid, you will be granted necessary health care while staying in Estonia. An employee who is posted for a short term from another EU member state to Estonia can receive necessary health care by presenting his/her European health insurance card. In case you are posted to Estonia from another EU member country for a longer-term assignment (more than 1 year), you are entitled to obtain health care in Estonia on the same terms as local insured persons. You should receive from your employer Form E106, which you should bring with you to Estonia. Go to the Estonian Health Insurance Fund with 2 copies of Form E106 and your
SOCIAL SECURITY residence permit or Estonian ID card and fill in an application to be registered in Estonia as a posted worker. Citizens of third countries coming to Estonia for a short period of time should obtain private health insurance in their home country or in Estonia. Having valid health insurance is one of the visa requirements. Citizens of third countries staying here on the basis of a residence permit or a residence permit for employment and employed here are insured by the EHIF.
