A stay in a spa sanatorium, even with a referral, is partially payable - you pay out of your own pocket for some of the costs of food and accommodation.

The Fund pays for medical care and three types of treatments. You can take advantage of additional treatments, but you pay for them out of your own pocket.

If your stay in a spa sanatorium falls in two billing seasons, the amount of the partial payment is calculated taking into account the number of days in a given billing season, respectively.

Problem

Resignation or shortening of stay in the sanatorium

If you resign from the sanatorium, you must send a letter to the National He alth Fund as soon as possible, justifying the resignation. If it is justified (e.g. a random accident, sudden illness confirmed by a medical certificate), the National He alth Fund will set a new date for your visit to the he alth resort. If the National He alth Fund does not take into account your justification, you will have to apply for a new referral from a doctor.

In the case of shortening the stay in the spa sanatorium, the amount of the partial payment is reduced if the shortening of the stay took place: 1) for reasons attributable to the sanatorium, 2) due to an illness that prevents the continuation of the stay in the sanatorium, 3) for reasons beyond from you, including documented illness or death of a close family member and the person under your care - by the amount equal to the product of the number of days corresponding to full days for which the stay was shortened and the fee (listed in the table). for reasons other than those mentioned, you will be fully charged.
