Reimbursed medicines from 1 October 2026: where to check

Poland’s Health Ministry has published the reimbursement list for medicines, special-purpose nutritional products and medical devices for 1 October 2026. It appears in the notice dated 16 September.

The official notice and attachments

Attachments include the list and a separate file on changes to retail prices and patient contributions. Materials concerning drug programmes and chemotherapy are also available. This is where to find the source documents.

Compare the exact product

For a question about your medicine, prepare its full name, strength, form and pack size. Similar names are insufficient for a reliable comparison. Rather than relying on a news headline, ask a pharmacist to check the specific prescription.

A price question is not a treatment change

We do not calculate personal contributions here or promise that every patient will pay less. That conclusion would require examining the correct entry and reimbursement conditions. Write down any questions before visiting the pharmacy.

Do not change doses or stop medication yourself because of price information. Discuss treatment with your doctor and dispensing with your pharmacist. This guide points to official documents rather than determining individual treatment.
