VZP

Today I went back to the hospital to pick up my test results and meet with the doctor. I had assumed that there would be some kind of physical done since I was meeting with the doctor but I was wrong. The only thing the doctor did was fill out the form for VZP with the test results from my blood work. I took the completed paperwork and went down to the pediatrics department to get the paperwork for the kids. After getting all the necessary paperwork I headed to the VZP office in Dejvice. I got to the "insurance for foreigners" office and everything was in Czech which I think is just funny. I walk into a room that has 4 doors all of which are closed. I'm standing in a room by myself wondering what I'm suppose to do. I see that there is a number system above the doors so I look around for a place to get a ticket. I find the ticket machine and there are four options which I can choose from. The only problem was that, of course, they were all written in Czech! I decided, what the heck, and I pressed one of the buttons. My number came up and I went in through the appropriate door. Needless to say I had chosen the wrong option. The women who was sitting at the desk didn't speak English but I showed her my forms and she knew what I needed to do. She walked out to the waiting area and pressed the right button for me. I waited for my number again. My number came up and I went in and gave the woman my completed forms from the hospital along with the enrollment forms they gave us a few weeks ago. Unfortunately the enrollment forms that I completed were changed in the last few weeks so I had to complete new enrollment forms. I got all that done and now have to go back next Thursday to see if we have been approved for insurance. In the meantime I signed up for the emergency insurance. In order to sign up for emergency insurance I had to go back out to the waiting room and get a number again. My number came up and the first woman who helped me was the one I needed to get the emergency insurance. I filled out more forms and paid some money and we are now covered in the event of some emergency for the next month.
