2) the right to compensation of earnings during temporary incapacity for work;
3) the right to compensation of travel expenses related to the use of healthcare.

If a person simultaneously fulfils the conditions for insurance on several grounds referred
to in Paragraph 1 of Article 9, the insurance basis isdetermined in such a way that the
