Zdravotní pojištění gynekolog: Co je pokryto a co musíte vědět

When you need a gynekologická péče, specializovaná lékařská péče zaměřená na ženské zdraví, včetně preventivních prohlídek, léčby infekcí a péče během těhotenství. Also known as ženské zdraví, it is fully covered by veřejné zdravotní pojištění, státní systém, který zajišťuje přístup k základním lékařským službám pro všechny občany České republiky. This means you don’t pay for routine check-ups, pregnancy monitoring, or treatment of common conditions like yeast infections — as long as you’re registered with a public insurer.

Many women think they have to pay for every visit to the gynekolog, but that’s not true. Whether it’s your first pelvic exam, a follow-up after childbirth, or a routine ultrasound in pregnancy, all of it is covered. Even if you have a rizikové těhotenství, těhotenství s vyšším rizikem komplikací, jako je vysoký krevní tlak, cukrovka nebo předčasný porod, the state covers all additional tests, specialist visits, and hospital stays. You won’t get a bill for amniocentesis, extra ultrasounds, or blood work — unless you go to a private clinic and choose to pay extra for faster service or luxury rooms.

What you do pay for? Usually nothing. But some women get confused when they see a receipt for a “consultation fee” or “documentation fee.” These are illegal. By law, gynekologists working under public insurance cannot charge for basic services. If someone asks you for money for a standard check-up, you have the right to refuse and report it. The only exceptions are cosmetic procedures, private rooms in hospitals, or extra services like prenatal yoga classes — things you can opt out of without losing your care.

And what about prescriptions? If your gynekolog gives you a prescription for antibiotics, antifungals like clotrimazol, or hormonal contraception, the cost is either fully or partially covered — depending on your insurance tier. Most common medications for yeast infections or birth control are reimbursed. You don’t need to choose between health and your wallet.

Don’t let fear of costs stop you from going. A delayed check-up because you think it’ll cost too much? That’s the real risk. Early detection of cervical changes, infections, or complications in pregnancy saves lives — and money in the long run. You’re already paying for this through your insurance premiums. Use it.

Whether you’re trying to get pregnant, just had a baby, or are worried about recurring yeast infections, your gynekolog is there for you — and the system is designed to make sure you don’t pay extra. The only thing you need to bring is your ID and insurance card. Everything else? Covered.
