A trip to the Sanatorium at the National Health Fund is often associated with a very long waiting period. It is often a few or even several months before we can take advantage of your stay in a medicinal facility. However, this can be accelerated and shortening the waiting time at the sanatorium. We suggest what to do.
After receiving a referral for a stay, waiting for the date of departure begins. It can take a long time, and according to Medonet, The average waiting time is currently about 10 months.
In addition, this period differs between individual voivodships and this is not a significant way. The shortest is waiting in the Podlasie and Warmian-Masurian Voivodships, because about 3-4 months, and we have to show the greatest patience, being a patient from the Greater Poland Voivodeshipwhere you have to wait for up to over a year for your turn.
We learn about the detailed date of the trip to the sanatorium at least 14 days before the planned date of starting the stay. However, wanting to track how much waiting for us left, It is worth using a certain online tool prepared by the National Health Fund. This is a referral search engine for a sanatorium that allows you to check your number in the queue.
This is a free option, available at the website of Dupport.nfz.gov.pl. It is enough that we provide your referral number and date of birth. Thanks to this, we can observe the pace of changing the position of our number in the queue and based on this information, estimate the date of departure.

However, we can slightly shorten the waiting time for the date of going to the sanatorium, KOusing “phrases”, because the National Health Fund very often provides referrals that were not used by other patientswho, for example, gave up the trip. Therefore, we can call the local NFZ branch and ask about the possibility of using this option, thanks to which we will accelerate the trip.
The downside of such a solution, however, is that it can happen, that we will receive information about the date and place of departure for less than 14 days before the start of the stay. So we must be ready to use the term in principle at any time.
