Frequently asked questions

General rules are based on information from the National Health Insurance Fund. Your doctor decides in your case.

Referral and registration

How do I get a referral for rehabilitation?

First see your family doctor or your treating doctor in hospital. They refer you to a physical medicine and rehabilitation (FMR) doctor, who decides whether you need rehabilitation, which type and for how long. The referral is issued electronically, so you do not need to arrange any documents.

Can I choose where to have rehabilitation?

Yes. A doctor’s suggestion is only a recommendation, the choice is yours. Palangos Linas has a contract with the VLK and accepts patients from all over Lithuania.

How soon must I start rehabilitation?

No later than 2 months from the date the referral was issued. For supportive rehabilitation and a repeat course the referral is valid for 6 months. Within this time you need to choose a centre, register and start the course, so register as soon as you get the referral.

How do I register?

Call +370 460 56204 or +370 656 36936 and agree your arrival date. Outpatient rehabilitation can also be booked online at ipr.esveikata.lt.

Can I register by coming to the centre?

You do not need to come in to register. Coming to the centre does not guarantee a place, and patients without prior registration cannot be admitted.

What is priority rehabilitation?

It is inpatient rehabilitation given first to those who need it most: patients after a heart attack, stroke, trauma, surgery for certain cancers or joint replacement, and those in very serious condition. The referring institution agrees your arrival date with us.

How often can I get rehabilitation?

For the same condition, adults can be prescribed one outpatient and/or one inpatient course per calendar year. Supportive rehabilitation is prescribed once a year.

Payment

Do I have to pay for rehabilitation?

If a doctor prescribed rehabilitation and you have compulsory health insurance, you do not pay. You only pay for extra therapies or services you choose yourself.

Can an outpatient stay at the centre?

Yes, but the referral covers therapeutic procedures only. A bed costs €35 off-season or €45 in season per night (without meals). Three meals in the dining hall are €23 per day.

I have no referral. Can I still come for treatment?

Yes, at your own expense. You can choose a wellness package or individual therapies. See the Hotel & wellness section.

Arrival

When should I arrive?

On your assigned day between 8:00 and 11:30.

What should I bring?

An ID document and personal items: rubber slippers, swimwear and toiletries. Your doctor’s referral (form 027/a) must be in the e-health system.

Life at the centre

What are the rooms like?

Patients stay in tidy, comfortable rooms. Every room has a TV, fridge, shower and toilet.

How often are the therapies?

Inpatient rehabilitation services are provided six days a week. In outpatient rehabilitation there are on average 3 services a day. Your doctor prescribes the therapies according to your condition.

When can visitors come?

From 8:00 to 20:00. At other times please arrange the visit with the ward staff or the doctor on duty. Quiet hours are from 22:00 to 7:00.

When do I check out?

Patients are discharged by 12:00. If you need to stay longer, please arrange it with the administration.
