New solutions in the e-prescription system from 1 July
02.07.2026
From 1 July, patients can use partial dispensing of e-prescriptions. The new functionality allows them to purchase subsequent packs of a medicine at a different pharmacy, provided that the pharmacy supports partial dispensing of e-prescriptions. The solution is intended to facilitate the continuation of treatment, particularly in the event of the temporary unavailability of a medicinal product or a change in the patient's place of stay.
On 1 July 2026, a meeting was held at the Ministry of Health to discuss solutions designed to improve the dispensing of e-prescriptions and the process of issuing them. The meeting was attended by representatives of the Ministry of Health, the National Health Fund, the e-Health Centre, the Supreme Pharmaceutical Chamber, the Office of the Patient Rights Ombudsman and Chief Pharmaceutical Inspector Łukasz Pietrzak.
At the same time, a system supporting the determination of patient co-payment levels for medicines (the so-called automated reimbursement mechanism) was launched. The tool supports prescribers in correctly determining the reimbursement level, reducing the risk of errors and streamlining the prescribing of medicinal products.
The solutions introduced mark another stage in the development of the e-health system and are intended to improve both the dispensing of prescriptions to patients and the process of issuing prescriptions by authorised professionals.
