All travelers staying in the territory of Poland are entitled to healthcare services and sanitary-epidemiological tests related to the fight against diseases, infections, and infectious diseases, including COVID-19.
These rules also apply to people who do not have Polish citizenship and do not have health insurance rights.
CIMAM delegates staying in Poland, insured in an EU or EFTA country, invariably have the right to health benefits in kind provided by service providers who have an agreement with the National Health Fund. In line with the coordination of the social security systems of the EU / EFTA Member States.
The scope of this right depends on the nature of the person's stay in the territory of the Republic of Poland and the type of document that a given person holds. Most often it is the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) or the Certificate Temporarily Replacing the EHIC. They confirm the entitlement to the necessary benefits in kind during a stay in a Member State other than the competent one. It does not matter if it is due to an accident or an infectious disease. The doctor selects the services appropriate to the medical reasons and duration of stay. Benefits are provided on the terms that apply to persons insured in the country of stay. Therefore, the patient may be charged a part of the costs in accordance with the law of the state in which he is located. Even though he has a card.
