- 20% student discount on standard rates
- Fully compliant with Czech legislation
- Equivalent to Czech public health insurance
- Includes emergency care in the Schengen area
- Covers pre-existing conditions (if disclosed in advance)
- Available for 4 to 60 months for students under 35

You can enroll online via a unique LINK. If you are over 30 or have a pre-existing condition, the PVZP sales representative will assist you directly (For students over the age of 30, please contact barbora.dlabova@pvzp.cz or karel.lukas@pvzp.cz.)
This is a non-exclusive offer, and you are free to choose any insurance that meets the legal requirements. However, please make sure your chosen provider offers sufficient coverage for your needs – including dental care, gynecological services, diagnostics, and mental health support.
