Pregnant women
A woman living in Estonia is entitled to health insurance if her pregnancy has been confirmed by a doctor or a midwife.
Health insurance becomes valid as of the date the entry is made in the Health Insurance Database.
The Health Insurance Fund will make the entry within 5 working days after receiving correctly completed documents.
Health insurance ends 3 months after the expected date of childbirth determined by the doctor or midwife.
