Erasmus students should bring the European Health Insurance Card for the period of their study in Poland, which must cover health, accidents and hospital care.

If you don’t have the card with you, you might have to pay the whole treatment by yourself. In order to be able to claim the money back that you have paid, you should ALWAYS ask for a written diagnosis including stamp of the physician or hospital.
