Using index for IS NULL query

Index is not used for

is null

condition:

create index makse_dokumnr_idx on makse(dokumnr);
explain select
sum( summa)
from MAKSE
where dokumnr is null

"Aggregate (cost=131927.95..131927.96 rows=1 width=10)"
" -> Seq Scan on makse (cost=0.00..131927.94 rows=1 width=10)"
" Filter: (dokumnr IS NULL)"

Table makse contains 1200000 rows and about 800 rows with dokumnr is null so
using index is much faster that seq scan.
How to fix ?
