The information listed below is intended as a guide for international students staying in Poland in terms of health insurance cover and legalization of stay.
International students staying in Poland are required to have a valid health insurance policy for emergency incidents and day-to-day healthcare. A student’s failure to obtain a health insurance policy absolves the University from responsibility for covering the cost of a their medical treatment in Poland.
All students are required to deliver a proof of holding a valid certificate of health insurance to the Dean’s Office.
European Union citizens who hold the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) or a replacement certificate can receive free health care services from any doctor contracted by the National Health Fund (NFZ).
Students from outside EU should sign voluntary Health Insurance Agreement with the regional NFZ office:

The PESEL ID number is an absolute requirement for your free access to the family physician and different clinics, and also for getting prescriptions.
Step 1: signing an agreement with the National Health Fund. Monthly contribution for students: currently PLN 55.80.
Step 2: mandatory registration of the agreement with the Social Security Agency [Zakład Ubezpieczeń Społecznych, ZUS] through submission of ZUS ZZA form filled in by the student within 7 days at the Social Security Agency competent for the place of domicile.
