Upon visiting Confido for an appointment paid for by the Estonian Health Insurance Fund, you must pay an appointment fee. From April 1, 2025, the Health Insurance Fund visit fee is €20.

The visit fee of €5 applies to an insured person who is:

  • determined to have partial or no work ability under the Work Ability Allowance Act;
  • unemployed within the meaning of the Labour Market Measures Act;
  • a recipient of the subsistence benefit under the Social Welfare Act or a member of their family, if the person or their family has received the subsistence benefit in the month of receiving specialised out-patient medical care or in the preceding two months.

Visit fees may not be charged:

  • for emergency medical care (urgent emergency medical care) if it is immediately followed by hospital treatment.
  • if out-patient treatment is provided in connection with pregnancy or childbirth.
  • if the patient is referred to another doctor or to a specialist equivalent to a health care professional within the institution.
  • if the patient is referred to another doctor specialising in the same field (incl. to another institution).
  • again within 365 days if the doctor or specialist equivalent to a health care professional leaves the patient under their monitoring or treatment.

A referral is required to book an appointment for any of the specialities covered under the Estonian Health Insurance Fund contract (except for gynaecology, gynaecological prevention and dermatovenereology).

Important information about appointments

  • Please arrive 10 minutes before your appointment time.
  • Bring a photo ID (ID card or passport). If you come to the appointment with a person under your guardianship (including a child), please bring their identity document and birth certificate/document proving guardianship.
  • Before coming for the analyses, please read the guide for analyses.
  • Please bring your glasses or contact lenses (if you wear them) for the health certificate.

Preparing for appointment

Our doctors will appreciate it if you come to your appointment prepared. Take time to think and write down your observations about your health (keep a diary if necessary) and any questions you want answered during the appointment.

Preparation for analyses and tests

The prerequisites for various analyses and tests include correct preparation and a time when the procedures can be performed. Before booking an appointment, please read the guide below.

Preparing a child for a doctor’s visit/procedure

A child who has been well-prepared for an upcoming appointment or procedure will feel more at ease and secure. Begin preparing your child at least a couple of days before the appointment or procedure.

  • Explain to your child in simple and understandable terms why the appointment or procedure is necessary.
  • If it is your child’s first time undergoing a procedure, avoid prematurely instilling fear in them (for example, avoid phrases like “there is nothing to be afraid of” or “it will not hurt”), but be open and honest.
  • Discuss with your child what might make the doctor’s visit/procedure more pleasant for them
  • You can agree on a fun activity to do with your child after the doctor’s appointment.
  • Before a blood test, make sure your child has had enough fluids (clean, unflavoured water).

By booking an appointment for a service, you agree to the terms and conditions of the service. To provide the best service possible, our doctors and specialists have the right and duty to examine and process personal and health data both before the appointment and during the provision of service.
