→ → → What is the TAJ Card?
The “TAJ”, also called as social security code (in Hungarian: társadalombiztosítási azonosító jel) is a nine digit code used for personal identification in the administrative processes related to healthcare, social administration, health and pension insurance. The TAJ card is an official identification card.
If the cardholder has a social security-covered legal relationship, the TAJ:
provide financial support for pharmacies for medications;
subsidize certain services (medical examinations, treatments) to the GPs, outpatient facilities and hospitals;
ensure sick-pay to the patient, etc.
You have to provide your TAJ in the following situations:
using social security covered health medical (healthcare) services;
taking social security covered medicine and medical aid orders;
during social-, child welfare and child protective services-related administrative processes to the applying service providers;
during family support and disability-support related administrative processes to the applying service providers;
when employed (so that the employer can pay the health service contribution fee)
