Medical insurance

Insurance that covers the costs of treatment in Poland; thanks to it you can go to the family doctor, to the hospital; this is not accident insurance. It is about insurance that will enable you to use health and hospital care (you can use both doctor's care at the clinic and hospital treatment), or a current insurance policy, indicating that the insurer will cover the costs of treatment. The document confirming the insurance may be:

  • insurance contract with the National Health Fund
    Submit the original insurance contract with the National Health Fund for inspection, together with proof of payment of insurance premiums (from the date of conclusion of the contract to the date of issuing the decision).
    Remember that you have to pay each premium by the 15th day of the following month!
  • the right to use health care services based on the provisions on the coordination of social security systems, e.g. in the Social Insurance Institution - ZUS
    Submit the confirmation of the application to the Social Insurance Institution together with the confirmation of payment of contributions to the Social Insurance Institution.
  • foreign insurance
    If the insurance comes from a country other than Poland, it must be translated into Polish by a sworn translator and presented together: the original of the insurance together with the original of the translation
  • private insurance policy

The policy must cover the costs of treatment in the territory of the Republic of Poland (i.e. that you can use the help of a doctor both in the clinic and in the hospital). Accident insurance is not proof that you have insurance covering medical expenses. Remember, it must be valid on the date of the decision.
In the case of installment payments for the policy, attach proof of payment (original available for inspection).
