Domestic health care uses six types of expertise. In each specific disputed case, a well-defined examination is required.. What kind of examinations are they, how are they appointed, what laws regulate them, for whom, who conducts them, and is it possible to challenge the results in case of disagreement?
Examination of temporary disability Examination of temporary disability of citizens due to illness, injury, pregnancy, childbirth, caring for a sick family member, prosthetics, spa treatment and in other cases is carried out in the manner established by the legislation of the Russian Federation.
Examination of temporary incapacity for work is carried out by the attending physicians of the state, municipal and private healthcare systems, who single-handedly issue certificates of incapacity for work to citizens for up to 30 days, and for a longer period, certificates for incapacity for work are issued by a medical commission appointed by the head of the medical institution.
During the examination of temporary disability, the need and timing of the temporary or permanent transfer of the employee for health reasons to another job are determined, and a decision is made to send the citizen in the prescribed manner to the medical and social expert commission, including if this citizen has signs of disability.
When issuing a certificate of incapacity for work, information about the diagnosis of the disease in order to maintain medical secrecy is entered with the consent of the patient, and in case of his disagreement, only the cause of incapacity for work (illness, injury or other reason) is indicated.
In some cases, by decision of local health authorities, an examination of temporary disability of citizens in institutions of the state or municipal health care system may be entrusted to an employee with a secondary medical education.
Medical and social expertise Recommendations of the medical and social expertise on the employment of citizens are mandatory for the administration of enterprises, institutions, organizations, regardless of the form of ownership.
The order of organization and production of medical and social expertise is established by the legislation of the Russian Federation.

Independent medical examination If citizens do not agree with the conclusion of the medical examination, an independent medical examination of the appropriate type, provided for in Articles 48 and 51 of these Fundamentals, is carried out at their request..
