• The communication was published on 9 November 2026.

What changes in the communication

The NFZ prepared an update to the rules for settling dental treatment services, responding to comments raised by healthcare providers (Komunikat dla świadczeniodawców dotyczący rozliczania świadczeń leczenia stomatologicznego – Narodowy Fundusz Zdrowia). The communication contains answers to specific questions concerning preventive packages.

ST30D package and ST33 examination

Dental practices asked whether performing the ST30D package, which includes hygiene with instruction and requires simultaneously marking the procedure of an examination with hygiene instruction, excludes reporting the ST33 service. This concerns the dental medical examination, which also includes oral hygiene instruction. The communication addresses this question in its text.

Frequency of the ST30D package

Practices also asked whether the package intended for half of a dental arch can be performed only once per calendar year, or once a year for each half of the arch, but at time intervals. The second option would mean two performances per year, one for each half.

Reporting method

The last question concerned settling the ST30D package reported once a year. The communication provides the answer to this question in its text.
