Koszt wizyty prywatnej: ile płacić za lekarza do domu i w gabinecie w 2025 roku

When you need a doctor fast and can’t wait for NFZ, you turn to a prywatna wizyta lekarska, indywidualna usługa medyczna, którą płacisz bezpośrednio, bez pośredników państwowych. Also known as wizyta płatna, it’s the go-to solution when time matters — whether it’s a child with high fever, an elderly parent who can’t leave home, or a specialist you can’t reach through public healthcare. In 2025, the price isn’t fixed. It depends on who comes, when they come, and where — and knowing this can save you hundreds of złoty.

Most people don’t realize that a wizyta domowa, usługa, w której lekarz przyjeżdża do Ciebie, a nie ty do niego. Also known as opieka domowa, it’s often more expensive than a clinic visit — but only because it includes travel, time, and urgency. A family doctor coming to your home in Warsaw might charge 150–250 zł during regular hours, but if you call at midnight or on Sunday, you’re looking at 400 zł or more. A neurologist or psychiatrist? That’s 350–800 zł. And yes — NFZ doesn’t cover this. If you’re paying out of pocket, you’re paying for convenience, speed, and access.

There’s also a big difference between a gabinet prywatny, standardowy gabinet lekarski działający poza systemem NFZ. Also known as prywatna poradnia, it’s where you go when you want to skip the waiting list — but you still need to book ahead. Here, you pay per visit, usually 120–300 zł, depending on the specialist. The catch? The doctor won’t see your medical history unless you bring it. No automatic access to your e-receipts, lab results, or past visits. You’re responsible for your own records. That’s not a flaw — it’s how private medicine works.

And here’s what nobody tells you: not all private doctors are equal. Some charge more because they’re in a fancy building. Others charge less because they’re just starting out. Some include follow-up calls in the price. Others charge extra for a prescription or a referral. Always ask what’s included. Don’t just pick the cheapest — pick the one who answers your call, shows up on time, and explains things clearly.

If you’re caring for an elderly parent or a sick child, you’re not just paying for a visit — you’re paying for peace of mind. A cardiologist coming to your home because your mom can’t walk to the clinic? That’s not a luxury. It’s necessary care. A pediatrician arriving at 11 PM because your baby won’t stop crying? That’s not expensive — it’s lifesaving.

Below, you’ll find real prices, real stories, and real advice from people who’ve been there. Whether you’re wondering if you can get a free home visit, how to avoid being overcharged, or which private clinic actually delivers on its promises — you’ll find answers here. No fluff. No marketing. Just what you need to know before you call.
