Abstract
The article analyses the current legislation and law enforcement practice on patient’s right to choose a medical organization and to choose a doctor under contracts for the provision of paid medical services in the sphere of voluntary health insurance. The efficiency of the realization of patient’s right to health protection and medical care largely depends on the opportunity to properly use the right to choose a doctor and medical organization. The norms of the federal law regulate the procedure for choosing a doctor and a medical organization only when providing medical care to a patient under the program of state guarantees of free provision of medical care to patients. Therefore, when exercising the right to choose a medical organization and a doctor under contracts for the provision of paid medical services within the framework of compulsory medical insurance and within the framework of voluntary medical insurance, patients may encounter practical problems. When providing paid medical services under voluntary health insurance programs, the patient according to the rules has the right to choose a doctor, taking into account his consent. The service of choosing a doctor under contracts for the provision of paid medical services is considered as an additional service.
