OP Moonlighting 31 | 234 19 Dec 2019 #3Actually, not yet, because my wife says I can't get a refund because I went to a private practitioner, so I wanted to hear from other people first, before going to an office. Will go tomorrow morning, I've got time.

OP Moonlighting 31 | 234 5 Jun 2021 #5Just for the sake of completing the discussion (better late than never) to help others who could have a similar question : I went to the NFZ office, filled up a form and attached the bills from the doctor and the pharmacy. Shortly afterwards, I received the refund on my bank account (approx. 70% refund).
