In 2026, almost 25 thousand rubles will be allocated for the treatment of one insured Russian.

The average per capita funding standard for compulsory health insurance (CHI) this year increased to 24,922.9 rubles. This is a planned calculation of the amount of treatment for each person in our country, on the basis of which the state forms the total budget for the costs of medical care for the entire population of the country for the next yearsays Murashko’s article on the KP.RU website.

If a patient requires treatment that exceeds this amount, for example, he needs a high-tech operation or expensive therapy, then he will receive it in the required amount free of charge, without regard to average figures, the minister added.

Murashko also noted that a significant stage in the development of the program was the inclusion of preimplantation genetic testing of embryos in the list of services provided free of charge under the compulsory medical insurance policy. This is relevant for parents of children who have been diagnosed with genetic or chromosomal diseases, including during expanded neonatal screening. The new test will detect chromosomal abnormalities before embryo transfer.

Another important step was the introduction of non-invasive prenatal screening, which will also be free under the compulsory medical insurance policy. This is a highly accurate method of assessing the health of the unborn child using the mother’s venous blood without invasive procedures, which eliminates risks to the fetus.

Earlier, Federation Council Speaker Valentina Matvienko said that unemployed but high-income Russian citizens will be required to pay for a compulsory health insurance policy (CHI). According to her, such norms will not affect children, students, pensioners, disabled people and housewives. The state is and will continue to pay for all of them.
