This agreement provides an opportunity for beauty specialists to conduct preventive tests for COVID-19 in a simplified way in Vilnius, Kaunas, Klaipėda, Šiauliai, Panevėžys, Alytus, Šilutė.

“We have the problem that many medical institutions that are licensed to test for COVID do not know anything about it, because they have not been informed about this possibility. We were looking for partners who could help our association’s specialists to test regularly and be available in various locations in Lithuania, ”said Jolanta Mačiulienė, President of KIGSA.

The Smile Academy and the IME Group have mutual agreements with the Affidea Group clinics, so there are 12 branches in 7 cities of the country that can test specialists in the beauty industry.

Representatives of this industry, like other small businesses affected by the coronavirus quarantine, are entitled to state compensation for COVID-19 testing. However, many are reluctant to use preferential tests due to what they consider to be a confusing compensation regime.

Speaking on behalf of the medical institutions that we represent, I can assure you that the specialists of the IME Group will help the members of the association to prepare all the necessary documents to receive the scholarship, so your only concern is to go to the chosen institution and perform evidence, “said Aurelijus Laurinaitis, Strategic Development Manager for IME Group.

According to the state financial entity INVEGA, up to 4 tests are reimbursed per month per employee. They can be self-employed, licensed, or small and medium-sized businesses.
