Today we can already say for sure that the predictions made by epidemiologists have been confirmed: in the summer of 2013, unprecedented activity of ticks was noted in some Siberian regions. These insects are not only a source of encephalitis, but also many other equally dangerous diseases, such as typhus, borreliosis, etc. From them, doctors have not yet been able to create vaccinations, so preventive measures to combat such ailments are not provided.
This explains the growing importance of tick insurance.
At first glance, this sounds somewhat paradoxical, but many residents of problem areas and regions have already turned to this opportunity to minimize the risk of the consequences of meeting this insect.
Today, insurance against ticks is issued in almost any large company. Its essence is quite simple: everyone buys a special policy, usually for a period of twelve months. If during the specified period he was bitten by this blood-sucking insect, then the insured must immediately contact the medical institution indicated in the contract. He gets help there. The only condition is the presence of a passport with you (as evidence that the insurance against ticks is issued specifically for the victim).
If a person, for some reason, is very far from the clinic that is obliged to serve him, then he can go to the nearest medical center, paying there for assistance. And the company, after submitting an invoice for the services rendered, reimburses all costs.
In addition, tick insurance provides for the whole range of measures to prevent the development of dangerous encephalitis.
Many large companies now take out insurance against ticks collectively, which allows for significant cost savings.
Traditional months for the outbreak of this disease are May and June. This is the time of mass trips to the nature of the urban population. That is why protection against ticks is especially relevant during this period.
Many people prefer to wear special suits when going to the forest, some take special protective equipment with them to a picnic, including tick spray, and some get vaccinated with the onset of summer.
The course of this preventive measure consists of three paid injections.
By making the most simple and superficial calculations, you can see that tick insurance is much more profitable than paying for vaccinations, buying protective equipment, etc.
The cost of a policy in many companies ranges from two hundred rubles for adults and one hundred and fifty for children.
At the same time, the list of services provided by the anti-tick program includes not only the removal of the tick itself when bitten and its examination in the laboratory for the virus, but also emergency vaccination with an injection of immunoglobulin.
And in case of infection with encephalitis or Lyme disease, immediately after emergency prophylaxis, hospitalization is expected with an appropriate set of all diagnostic measures and treatment procedures. All this without insurance is expensive.
