The branch's announcement and its background

The Zachodniopomorskie Regional Branch of the National Health Fund in Szczecin published the announcement on 28 August 2026. It was prepared by the branch's Healthcare Services Department (Komunikat o zawarciu nowej umowy —; Podstawowa opieka zdrowotna – NFZ – Zachodniopomorski Oddział Wojewódzki). The text does not state which specific services the agreement covers or how many healthcare providers it concerns.

Invitation to submit applications

Even before this announcement, on 27 August 2026, the branch invited facilities to submit applications for concluding such contracts. The agreements were to take effect from 1 September 2026 and be concluded for an indefinite period (Zaproszenie do składania wniosków o zawarcie umów w rodzaju podstawowa opieka zdrowotna, na okres od 1 września 2026 r. na czas nieoznaczony – NFZ – Zachodniopomorski Oddział Wojewódzki). The invitation was published by the same department.

Who this matters to

The announcement is addressed to healthcare providers, meaning entities that deliver services under an agreement with the fund. For patients in the Zachodniopomorskie Voivodeship, this means that new arrangements for primary health care apply from September. The announcement does not indicate whether access to a primary care physician changes or whether patients need to take any action.
