Which clinic should I refer to for free prostate antigen testing? At my clinic, a nurse collects blood, but samples are sent for testing and you have to pay for it. I am over 60, I am a distinguished honorary blood donor, I am a pensioner.
From January 1, 2015, a primary he alth care physician may refer a patient for a PSA test. The list of tests that are directed and paid for by a he alth care physician from the National He alth Fund for each patient is strictly defined. All of them are performed at the request of a doctor in a laboratory or workshop with which contracts have been signed. The patient performs the ordered test in the laboratory indicated by the referring physician. If, as a result of the doctor's advice, it is necessary to perform laboratory tests, the doctor indicates to the patient a laboratory where diagnostic and microbiological tests will be performed on his request.
In medically justified cases, material for laboratory tests may be collected at the patient's home.
Legal basis: announcement on the publication of the Regulation of the Minister of He alth of October 20, 2014 amending the regulation on guaranteed benefits in the field of primary he alth care. As well as the Ordinance of the Minister of He alth of June 11, 2014 on templates for declarations of selecting a he althcare provider, doctor, nurse and midwife for primary care. In addition, it is also worth reading the Regulation No. 31/2014 / DSOZ of the President of the National He alth Fund of June 12, 2014 amending the ordinance on the terms of concluding and implementing contracts for the provision of he althcare services such as: basic he alth care and Regulation No. 69 / 2013 / DSOZ of the President of the National He alth Fund of 27 November 2013 on defining the conditions for concluding and implementing contracts for the provision of he althcare services such as: basic he alth care REGULATION OF THE MINISTER OF HEALTH of 24 September 2013 on guaranteed benefits in the field of primary care
