Medical Assistance System

 

MEDICAL ASSISTANCE SEVICE SYSTEM (from 2024/25/1) – New service provider: Semmelweis Ltd.

English-speaking Call Centre is available at +36 1 7767055.

Detailed information on your health assistance system:

For beneficiaries of active Stipendium Hungaricum, Dissertation, FAO, Diaspora, SCYP and MISP scholarships, based on the contract between Semmelweis Ltd. and MATE, a medical assistance service system has been launched since September 2024 instead of the previous supplementary UNION Insurance.

Since the above scholarship holders - with the exception of the MISP scholarship holders - are all entitled to a TAJ card, the system encourages the active use of TAJ benefits by providing an English-language Call Centre and English-language general practitioner care. The assistance service will also help MISP students navigate, although they can use the system with payment obligations.

How to apply for the health assistance system?

Students' data transfer is done automatically based on their active student status. Identification is based on your valid TAJ number and Neptun code (MISP students especially).

The Call Centre provides a triage service and if necessary, makes an appointment for beneficiary students with the GP during or after the first phone call. Please, note that the service is NOT supposed to provide an appointment with specialists!

The phone number of the Call Centre: +36 1 776 7055.

Operator: Teladoc Kft.

Eligibility: active Stipendium Hungaricum, Dissertation, FAO, Diaspora, SCYP and MISP scholarship holders. The later need to pay for the medical examination, tests, etc.; however, guidance where to go is available for free.

Check the LIST of Beneficiaries. There are two tabs in the file according to whether students are or are not entitled to possessing the benefits of a TAJ card. Use Ctrl F to search for your name, please.
