How to Request Refund from VZP for 1st Trimester Ultrasound Screening (via post) - Easy Tutorial for Moms-to-Be

I gathered all details and necessary documents for requesting a refund from insurance company VZP and will summarise all steps here, on the blog, for future reference and easy use. Is possible to request an yearly maximum of 2000 czk from the VZP klub, under the mother section - this includes also vaccinations, special dietary needs, exercise during pregnancy, dental hygiene or the initial screening during first trimester. In my case, I will submit a request for the initial screening and this tutorial is how I did it using the czech postal services. As you know, you may request it by post or in person at closest VZP branch. Is not guaranteed that money will be refunded but they usually do it, withing 1 month - at least in all my previous applications the money were refunded. It helps a lot, as the 2nd or 3rd trimester special morphological screenings are not covered by insurance, so at least you can cover one of the 3, in case you go for all special screenings. With my first 2 boys, we did only the VZP covered screening at 2nd trimester, but since 2019 the company doesn't provide this one for free anymore. So with our 3rd, we did special screening at 1st trimester and 2nd trimester just to be sure everything is fine also this time. I will not gor for the 3rd screening, juts at the usual monthly common check-ups with my gynaecologist.

Here is how to request the VZP refund for 1000 czk for the 1st trimester screening:

1. Print and fill in the application form available here

2. Prepare all necessary documents that you will send by post: application form, proof of ultrasound payment (in original invoice), copy of your ID document, copy of your pregnancy pass

3. Fill in the envelope your address and receiver's address and put all documents above inside then bring it to closes postal centre:

Remember to fill in the contact phone number on the request form.

Documents may not be older than 3 months from the date of issue unless otherwise specified for a particular post. Send the request with the original documents to:

VZP CR, Prague Regional Branch

It takes a full month to get a refund back at your specified account.
