HEALTH CARE DURING TEMPORARY WORK

Insured persons of contracting states

If an insured person of one contracting state during temporary work in another contracting state has suffered an injury at work or is diagnosed with an occupational disease, he or she will realise health care on the basis of the recognized injury or disease, in accordance with the contractual certificate of the right to health care issued by the competent holder prior to referral to temporary employment in other contracting states.

The procedure for recognizing occupational injuries or occupational diseases is carried out by the competent health insurance holder of the home state, in accordance with its legislation.

Citizens of non-contracting states

Citizens of states with which Croatia has not concluded an interstate contract (nor are members of the European Union) have the right to health care based on work injury or occupational disease in accordance with Croatian regulations only if they have established the status of insured persons in compulsory health insurance in the Croatian Health Insurance Fund.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

A certificate of the right to health care obtained by the competent health insurance holder must be submitted to the health insurance holder in the state of temporary work in the place of residence, which will replace it with the new certificate on the basis of which you will be able to use health care at contractual providers.

In the event of injury at work or occupational disease in the contracting state in which you are temporarily employed, you are obliged to notify your employer and the competent health insurance holder in your home country, within the time limits provided by the legislation of the state concerned.

You can notify your competent health insurance holder of any injuries at work or occupational disease, either personally or through a health insurance holder in the state of temporary work.
