Electronic referrals

In Poland most referrals are distributed electronically. Referrals are required to make an appointment with a specialist, to perform specialised tests, to receive vaccinations, and to have a hospital stay.

A referral to a specialist can be issued by your GP. Referrals are not needed for appointments with a:

  • psychiatrist
  • gynaecologist/obstetrician
  • oncologist
  • venereologist
  • dentist

You can receive electronic referrals in the form of a text message a with a four-digit code, an email with a PDF file attached, a message in the myIKP app or a printout from a doctor. The referral can also be issued during a virtual visit. Registrations for treatments or appointments can be made by telephone by quoting the referral number.

In the case of an appointment with a specialist, you can choose any outpatient clinic from among those with which the NFZ has a contract; there is no division into regions, you can choose the clinic where you wish to be treated, even if it is located in a different town. A referral entitles you to register with one specialist clinic only.
