A doctor’s referral for a rehabilitation stay is a required document for guests using rehabilitation services without funding from PFRON (PCPR, MOPS). It applies both to standard rehabilitation stays and health stays that include treatments. Failure to provide this document results in an additional 8% VAT being added to the price of the stay.
What is the doctor’s referral for a rehabilitation stay?
All stay packages at Zdrowotel Łeba are subject to medical procedures and require confirmation in the form of a doctor’s referral for a rehabilitation stay or a copy of a disability certificate, provided on the day of arrival. Failure to submit one of the required documents will result in an additional 8% VAT charge. The referral can be issued by your general practitioner (application template available) or obtained upon arrival for an additional fee.
What does the referral preparation process look like and how long does it take?
The doctor prepares the referral based on an assessment of the patient’s health condition, taking into account physiotherapy and rehabilitation needs. This document is essential for the booking and billing process. The referral is prepared after arrival and completed during a single medical consultation.
Benefits of preparing a doctor’s referral
