Steps

Step 1: You need to choose a doctor in the health centre in your residence area and officially register with the Croatian Health Insurance Fund as that doctor’s patient.
Step 2: On arrival to the health centre, you can ask at the reception desk where your doctor’s office is located. When you visit the doctor, you either wait in the waiting room, or you set up an appointment in advance, in person or by telephone.
Step 3: If an additional specialist examination or test is needed, your doctor will give you a referral and direct you to the appropriate medical institution which you should visit or set up an appointment.
