Every card always shows a label — «medical specialist» or «non-medical specialist». In large print, not in a footnote.

Medical specialist
Medicine
- Who
- Doctors and clinical psychologists.
- What we verify
- A diploma, specialist accreditation and the licence of a medical organisation for the relevant type of work.
- What they can do
- Appointments and online consultations — only through a licensed medical organisation.
- What they cannot do
- Medical consultations without a licence — paid or free. As a general rule, diagnosis and treatment are decided at an in-person visit, not online.
This is how the law works in Russia. The right to practise medicine belongs to people with medical or other education (clinical psychologists, for example) and specialist accreditation. Medical practice needs a licence, whether it is paid or free. An online consultation with a doctor serves prevention, collecting complaints, assessing treatment and deciding whether an in-person visit is needed; the attending doctor may adjust previously prescribed treatment online only if they made the diagnosis and prescribed the treatment at an in-person visit. The law makes exceptions to these rules only for private clinics taking part in experimental legal regimes. Medical cards carry a visible warning about contraindications and the need to consult a specialist. [1] Source[2] Source[3] Source[4] Source
