Prescription medication is reimbursed at four different “tiers”: 30%, 50%, 100% and finally fixed-price (ryczałt). This is applied at check-out.
Auroxetyn is prescription-only and sold at the fixed-price tier. You can see the “proper” price of the medication without the rebate under “RAZEM PLN”.
Some Prescription medicine are refunded/reimbursed on different tiers. You can see the full price and then under it You have “Rycz.” which means the fixed price after it is refunded by National Health Fund, which is 6,40 PLN for the one You bought.
Are you american by any chance?
In america you get called communist for this as you breathe in the fumes expelled by bezos’s 10th jet.
Public Healthcare and Health Insurance!
Or Communism as they call it in USA.
Polish people that support Konfederacja, a political party that advocates for private healthcare should check this out.
Hint – most of them would not be able to afford a more serious treatment.
There’s a line starting with Rycz. which stands for ryczałt – that’s the price you need to pay, the rest of the cost is covered by the government. So 2 * 6,40 = 12,80
Your health insurer pays the rest.
Damn, I’m struggling to understand how to read it 🙈 Does it list the real price of the medicine and then the next line is what it costs to the end consumer? Too many lines with prices there 😅
That basically means that people that work pay the rest of the price of your medicine.
So that people could afford not to die from curable diseases. It might be a weird and foreign concept if you’re from the US.
Probably you or your kid is qualified to get refunded meds. Auroxetyn is on the refund list for people under the age of 18, conditionally for:
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder with comorbidities such as tics, Tourette’s syndrome, anxiety disorders or with documented intolerance or failure of therapy with psychostimulants as part of a comprehensive treatment program in children from 6 years of age and in adolescents.

Spot on.
Imagine you get to hospital get all necessary checkups and you get it free when real cost is 10k $.
To się nazywa “refundacja leków”!

Bro this is very cheap
Because of taxes. We work, goverment takes a part and sometimes they return to us.
the medicine is reimbursed by the National Health Fund
Remember this each time some grumpy polak will try to tell you that polish healthcare is garbage.
Auroxetyn cost 6,40 and the second one 6,40 too. The Polish Government pays the rest of the receipt.
It’s reimbursed by the government/national healthcare. If your medicine is prescribed by a doctor and the drug itself is expensive the government covers part or in some cases all of the cost. This all happens without any action from you so you just get a nice low price at the end. This comes from the healthcare budget and ultimately taxes. Better use of gov money than constant warmongering for oil in my opinion
Normalna cena dla dorosłego – za każde opakowanie 1 ryczałt, jeśli masz osobiste ubezpieczenie.

I am Polish and i still think the way this receipt is structured is weird and confusing, even though i know why OP paid how much they paid. It’s not very clear from the receipt. I am not sure why there is so much snark in the comments.
