Life / Specific information about Polish healthcare system? [17]

Hello everybody!

I fail to find very specific information about Polish healthcare in English and I would have liked to know how Polish people get paid back by their public or private insurance after they go to their doctor or get a treatment. Do they have to show a specific insurance card and to pay first? Do they usually have to pay in cash or by credit card?

Thanks so much in advance!

Thanks!
And when you go to the family doctor do you have to advance the fee then you are paid back by the NFZ? As for when you go private can you subscribe to private health insurers that will pay you back as well?

So maybe when you go to a clinic and that you are insured you pay nothing to the family doctor and when you go to a General Practitioner you pay then you are reimbursed by the sickness fund?

Thanks a lot! And in the copayment pharmaceutical scheme, do I have to advance the whole fee or just pay the (for instance) 50%? What if I have a Private Health Insurance, do I have to be paid back because I advanced the fee or I just pay the small part that is uncovored by the PHI?
