When contacting an ERGO medical partner

When contacting other medical institutions that are not ERGO partners

  1. Choose the appropriate doctor.
  2. When booking your appointment, tell the medical institution that you have ERGO health insurance.
  3. ERGO pays the cost of the treatment covered by the insurance contract directly to the medical institution.
  4. You will have to pay the deductible stated in the insurance contract and the part exceeding the compensation limit, based on an invoice provided by ERGO or the medical institution. You can find information on the amount of the deductible and compensation limit in the ERGO Estonia mobile app.
  5. You do not have to submit an application for compensation to ERGO.
  1. Pay the entire treatment invoice yourself first.
  2. Then submit to ERGO the application for compensation and the additional documents required for compensation*.
  3. You can submit your application for compensation through the ERGO Estonia mobile app or the ERGO website.
  4. ERGO will notify you of any clarifications or missing documents by email.
