Against waiting or paying in the US

The US has no national public waiting list; what matters is the price your insurer or the hospital charges.

Can your insurer pay?

Ask your insurer before you book. Plans rarely pay for planned treatment abroad unless they have agreed in writing first.

Planning the trip from the US

Get a written quoteSend the clinic your referral or reason for a health check-up and ask for an itemised price in writing, with the date and what happens if the result needs follow-up.
Before you goMost packages need you to fast from the night before. Book a morning slot.
Before you goAsk what happens if a test finds something: is a specialist available the same week, and at what price?
Entry rulesCheck the official advice before booking: US citizens (State Department, choose the country).
LanguagePolish; private clinics in big cities often have English-speaking staff, public hospitals less often.
After you returnBring the full report to your doctor, not just the summary page.
After you returnTreat a "borderline" or "follow up" note as a reason to see your doctor, not as a diagnosis.

Health check-up in Poland from the US: questions

How much is a health check-up in Poland for Americans?

The published prices we found work out at $2,290 at the clinic, from Centrum Medyczne Damiana. With an example return flight of $900 and 2 hotel nights at $110, the trip comes to about $3,410. Your own fares and dates will change the total.

Is it cheaper than paying privately in the US?

We have not verified a self-pay price in the US for this, so compare the trip total with a written quote from a provider at home.

How long is the wait for a health check-up in the US?

There is no national public waiting list in the US; the question is usually the price your insurer pays.

How many days do I need in Poland?

Half a day to one day for most packages; packages with endoscopy or several scans can take two days. That is our planning estimate, not medical advice; ask the clinic for its schedule in writing.

Will my insurer pay for it?

Ask your insurer before booking. Most plans pay little or nothing for planned treatment abroad unless they agree in advance.
