A new system for evaluating daily functioning by expert teams (ETs) will come into effect on January 1, 2025. Here's how to pass the assessment in the new system:
Key stages of the patient journey:
Contact your doctor
The doctor assesses your health, conducts the necessary examinations and, if necessary, makes a referral for evaluation (https://bit.ly/40h7GDe).
Preparation of documents
You will need:
- passport, RNOKPP (if available), military registration document (if available);
- medical documents confirming the diagnosis and reflecting the current state of health, in particular documents about previously established disability;
- documents certifying the causes of disability (if available);
- other documents as needed.
Choosing the form of assessment
The form is chosen depending on your needs and condition, taking into account a number of criteria: in person, in absentia, remotely (using telemedicine tools) or by an on-site team.
Directions
The doctor enters your data into the electronic system and helps you choose a facility for evaluation by an expert team, and generates an electronic referral.
Case moderation
The institution administrator checks the documents for quality, after which the system automatically determines the date and time of the assessment.
Evaluation by an expert team
Members of the expert team review your case. If disability is established or confirmed, you will receive decisions and recommendations that are part of an individual rehabilitation program. If necessary, the expert team may refer you for additional medical examination. This option is allowed only once in order not to delay the decision-making process.
The review of the case by the expert team should last no more than 30 days.
Appealing the decision
If you disagree with the conclusions, you can appeal the decision through your treating physician or file a complaint directly with the Center for the Assessment of the Functional Status of a Person.

IMPORTANT: All documents (certificates, acts, conclusions, individual rehabilitation programs) issued by the MSEC until December 31, 2024 remain valid and are the basis for receiving guarantees, benefits, payments, assistance, deferrals, etc. specified by law.
The new system for assessing daily functioning, which replaced the MSEC, is more transparent, less formal, and more human-centered.
