Students with a Hungarian governmental scholarship are entitled to enjoy health care services in accordance with Act 53/1997 - (point i) of section (1) of paragraph 16 - and they are entitled to have a social security card ("TAJ card"). With TAJ card (the card for Hungary’s national health insurance scheme), scholarship holders are publicly ensured and they are able to access public healthcare for free, not just emergency or urgent care.
Scholarship holders need to formally request the public health insurance card (TAJ card) at the Office for Full-time Study Programmes (Rector’s Office – 6720 Szeged, Dugonics tér 13., room 45.)
If the TAJ card expires, scholarship holders need to return the old TAJ card to the Office and they need to apply for a new TAJ card - if they are still eligible for a TAJ card. Please request a new TAJ card at the Office for Full-time Study Programmes (Rector’s Office – 6720 Szeged, Dugonics tér 13. room 45) It is free of charge to request a new TAJ card.
If the TAJ card is lost or damaged, scholarship holders need to request a new TAJ card - if they are still eligible for a TAJ card. In case of a lost or stolen TAJ card the administrative service fee to request a new card is 3,000 HUF.
Download the step-by-step guide to request your TAJ card.
Make sure to hand in the copy of the following documents:
To start the process, you need to submit the requested documents. The Stipendium Hungaricum coordinators will fill out the application forms and ammend them with a scholarship certificate in Hungarian.
NOTE! Only those attachments are accepted that are clearly visible. If correction is necessary, you will be informed right away or via e-mail. We will only be able to forward your application to the National Health Insurance Fund of Hungary (OEP) if all documents are correct and valid.
You are asked to submit the copies of the required documents, as well as the application forms in person at the Government Office ("Csongrád Megyei Kormányhivatal")

Necessary steps and contact details. Please, always keep your Hungarian health insurance card (’TAJ kártya’) with you.
If you seek medical attention and need help, please contact your local, Hungarian-speaking mentor who can help you with finding a doctor. Before you ask for a treatment, please always ask whether your insurence covers the service by showing your TAJ card (otherwise a meeting with the doctor might have some costs.) If necessary your GP (at your student hostel, or the one designated to the area you live) may redirect you to a specialist for special treatment. Prescribed medicines can be bought at any pharmacies with the prescription from the doctor.
In case of emergency, do not hesitate to visit a medical emergency service ("ügyelet”). In urgent cases, you will receive the medical treatment. It is suggested to keep your passport, residence permit, a copy of student status certificate and a copy of the accommodation reporting form with you.
With dental issues first go to the Dental Clinic („Fogklinika” / Faculty of Dentistry, Szeged, Tisza Lajos krt. 64 – 66.) with your Hungarian mentor and find out which dental district you belong to, then visit your designated dentist. Basic treatments are for free with your TAJ card, but more complex dental treatments are to be paid by the patient.
