Current regulations state that children under 6 years old are granted free health insurance cards by the State. In case a child is 6 years old (72 months) but has not yet entered first grade, the health insurance card is valid until September 30 of that year.

For 12th grade students, the health insurance card is valid until September 30 of the school year. Because the health insurance card currently no longer has information on the card's expiration date.

To ensure that the validity of your children's health insurance cards is renewed promptly after paying for health insurance at school, parents can check the card's validity in many ways. Parents can also register a VssID account for their children through their parents' VssID account for easy tracking.
