Health insurance for 5th year

Please find below the information from Student Welfare and Support Office UW:

Doctoral students who will not be entitled to a doctoral stipend and have no other title to health insurance after 30 September 30 2023, and who have doctoral status, must re-register for health insurance at the university, as they will be automatically deregistered from insurance on 30 September 2023.

Health insurance is available only until such a person has the status of a doctoral student and has no other title to insurance (e.g., employment contract, contract of mandate).

It is important to remember the obligation of a doctoral student to inform the Student Welfare and Support Office UW of the need to deregister from insurance due to the fact of taking up a job (even if the contract was concluded at the UW). Failure to do so will result in “dropping out” of the NFZ system and inability to use public health care services or obtain an European Health Insurance Card. After termination of employment, remember to re-register for insurance.

To apply, submit the following documents to the BPM:

• certificate from the doctoral school on the status of a doctoral student with an indication of the end date of this status
• ZUS ZZA form
• statement about not being subject to health insurance on any other account.

There are 7 days to report changes. [LINK]
