Kraków Hospitals

Updated: 18 hours ago

I would greatly appreciate that you rate this page. It would mean a lot to me if you could rate and encourage me if you found the material on this page helpful.

If you have private health coverage, it’s free, or if you go to a clinic with NFZ coverage OR jutro, it’s free.

Another option is online consult - 69zl on this site.

NFZ Hospitals and Jutro Hospitals are different. Both are free consultations.

Jutro is only for adults. Not for Children.

If you have luxmed cover through the office, you don’t have to pay

If you’re not covered through your employer, then yes, it’s a paid service at any private clinic like luxmed, enelmed, Medicover etc and appointments can cost anywhere between 150-200

This was cheaper (69zl) and same-day consultation but by phone

If you are getting a speaking doctor’s same-day appointment in Jutro.

Jutro has free basic blood tests (CBC, lipids profile, vitamin d, liver, kidney, TSH etc)..

Except for a few, like B12..

Some of these tests can be ordered free on Medicover without a referral, and getting a blood draw appointment is easy.

About NFZ clinic

1. Treatment is free of cost; visits and prescriptions will be available in your patient portal

2. you need to fill out the registration form choosing your preferred doctor; for subsequent visits, you need to book an appointment in advance.


If you have Luxmed / Medicover insurance, then you can force luxmed to book an urgent appointment for the child, either a home visit or face-to-face and they will help you. if they don't, then you can go to govt hospital

Dziecięcy im. św. Ludwika w Krakowie- This hospital is specially for emergency for child


In emergency cases, you should visit SOR (it's emergency cases admission). Every govt hospital has this department, and entry is faster.

For Krakow, Go to university hospital prokocim.



Jutro Medical - Krakow:



Dental Care


URGENT DENTAL CARE - ON NFZ

Address: ul. Oboźna 4/1 📍https://maps.app.goo.gl/6YNCBNhb9rQhS

Phone number: ☎532 776 892.


Government Dental hospital, consultation free with Zus Medical Insurance.


The University Dental Clinic--

Montelupich 4, 31-155 Kraków

12 424 55 55

This is the medical university, and if anyone has any dental issues, they may visit here. As most of us have NFZ, it's free. They start at 7 a.m.

It's very nice with many English doctors and some Indian dentists, too. It may be a little time-consuming, but based on the experience of many friends, it's very nice.

Please confirm how to make a government dentist appointment, or let me know the procedure.

You must go to the government dental college on the 2nd floor for Krakow by 8 o'clock. They will check your PESEL and issue you an appointment number. Then, your number will be called, and they will do their basic check.

If an X-ray is needed, you will receive a prescription, pay 100 PLlN, and go to the ground floor for an X-ray. Accordingly, you will be provided with the next appointment.


Private Clinics for Dental

Each private medical insurance company/hospital has different packages. Based on this, you will get different services at different prices.

Luxmed

X-ray free, filling free, root canal free (we have to pay only for the cap), surgeon consultation 50% covered, surgery 50% covered

Medicover

X-ray 129zl, filling, and root canal (doctor-dependent) are 50% or 10% covered or free(we need to pay for the equipment like cap/gel). Surgeon consultation is 10% covered, and surgery is 10% covered.

Dental check-up 180zt

Teeth cleaning 1400zt

Cavity filling and root canals come in the conservative dentistry category. So, it's covered by default in Luxmed. But in Medicover, it's covered only if the doctor recommends them as critical/emergency category.

Some IT companies offer multiple private medical insurances, like Luxmed and Medicover, to their employees. If you have such an opportunity to choose, first ask your HR to explain the differences between them, i.e., Treatment differences, especially dental treatment differences.

Influenza Vaccine or Flu Shot or Feaver Vaccine:

Usually, in the Winter season, some people get sick with fevers after the first snow. We should take vaccinations to avoid or decrease the intensity of the sickness. In Poland, Snow will start in November. So, in October, we have to take the Flue Shot.

Influenza vaccine OR The flu shot.

Vaccination is available in Private (Medicover, Luxmed) and Govt NFZ Hospitals.

NFZ Hospital for vaccination:

Małopolska Wojewódzka Stacja Sanitarno - Epidemiologiczna, Prądnicka 76, 31-202 Kraków

100 PLN for Influenza vaccine.

Some employers give free vaccinations to their employees.

In Medicover and Luxmed, this vaccination will be free based on the insurance package.

Jutro Hospital is also the best for vaccination.  

Influenza vaccination (Flue Vaccine) is free for some packages....in MediCover....for the entire family.

The bottom line is "we have to enquire with our Private Medical insurance hospital-Medicover or Luxmed".

Luxmed - ALLIANZ TRAVEL foreign travel insurance

The Insurer is AWP P&C S.A. Oddział w Polsce (Allianz Travel). The policy name is: LUX MED Group Key Clients The insurance coverage has no age limit. The maximum period of insurance coverage during a one-off stay abroad is 180 days. The insurance covers all countries of the world, excluding Poland and the Insured Party’s country of residence. Reimbursement of treatment costs in the event of an unexpected war or act of terrorism. Reimbursement of treatment costs associated with unexpected treatment of COVID-19 (Note! The insurance does not cover the costs of quarantine).

You must have a strong reason for attending medical outside Poland, like in India. Then they will reimburse.

FAQs:

Do we have to approve sick leave for normal flu or fever by a doctor in the system here? Also, does sick leave come with pay cuts of about 20%?

Is it for a longer time of sick leave or for a single odd day, too? An example where somebody is having backache issues, etc.?

Yes.

If you take your leaves from your own quota, there is no pay cut; if you take sick leaves with 80% pay, your leave count doesn't get impacted.

The employer finances sick leave only for up to 33 days. After that, ZUS provides a sickness allowance for up to 182 days. The government mandates 80% of sick pay to be paid by employers or ZUS. It's up to the employer to pay 100%. Not all employers provide the option of financing 100% of a certain number of sick leaves in a year. Very rarely are companies providing 100% pay for certain sick days. Most companies here don’t have the option of 100% sick leave. Generally, it is 80%; they go by the mandated govt limit.
