What should I do if I am not insured at NFZ?
If the student is not insured in the NFZ, he/she can use medical services according to his/her insurance regulations or go to private medical centres and pay for a visit. Students staying in Poland on the basis of a visa cannot use the state medical centres for free.
Most often, our students choose this option, but we still advise you to weigh all the pros and cons by reading the NFZ insurance.
