Healthcare in Poland after 5 March 2026: which Ukrainians are covered by NFZ?
Short answer
If you rely on public healthcare, verify your current PESEL UKR status or another insurance basis. Ukrainian citizenship alone is no longer enough to determine the scope of NFZ rights.

What to do step by step
- 1
Check your current PESEL status and legal-stay basis.
- 2

Before planned treatment, verify whether the service falls within your coverage.

If a provider sees a different status, reconcile the official records and current NFZ guidance.
Important
Healthcare rights depend on legal basis and category; do not automatically apply pre-March-2026 specustawa rules.
