Benefits of having the Online Patient Account

Having an Online Patient Account (in Polish: “Internetowe Konto Pacjenta”) grants access to individual information on:

• e-prescriptions, e-referrals
• the right to healthcare services
• services provided to the Patient under the National Health Fund
• medical devices and medicines (along with the possible refund amount)
• the dosage of prescribed medicines

In addition to access to information, it also offers the possibility of:

• obtaining a prescription for medications without the need to see a doctor (if treatment is continued)
• receiving notifications about issued e-prescriptions and codes to get them filled in a pharmacy
• receiving a prescription from a nurse or midwife – both after a traditional visit and after a telephone consultation
• authorization of a third party to access the Patient’s medical data
