From December 6, I only have a mandate contract with the full ZUS. As I am ill, recently I had the opportunity to visit a sanatorium as part of pre-pay prevention. I just lost my job due to illness, I had a fixed-term employment contract until December 31, 2015. Currently, I have a mandate contract with full insurance. Can I apply for a sanatorium as part of ZUS prevention?

Yes.Every insured personwho is at risk of long-term illness may take advantage of the rehabilitation program offered by the Social Insurance Institution free of charge. Medical rehabilitation as part of ZUS disability prevention concerns diseases which are the most common cause of incapacity to work. These are diseases of the musculoskeletal system and the circulatory system. In these cases, rehabilitation takes place in an inpatient or outpatient setting. People suffering from psychosomatic and respiratory diseases are also subject to the curative rehabilitation program. More information on this subject can be found on the ZUS website or directly at the Social Insurance Institution. Department of Prevention and Rehabilitation ul. Szamocka 3, 5 01-748 Warsaw.

Remember that our expert's answer is informative and will not replace a visit to the doctor.
