The list of Hospitals and Medical Providers is intended only to provide interested American citizens with a convenient reference in emergency situations. You may receive additional information about the individuals and facilities on the list by contacting the Kosovo Ministry of Health. The doctors and establishments on the list establish their own fees, and generally will not settle fee claims directly with U.S. insurance companies. Therefore, the U.S. citizen patient will be expected to pay his bill at the time of treatment/consultation. The patient may thereafter present the paid bill to a U.S. insurance carrier, if any, for reimbursement. Medicare does not reimburse its members for medical expenses incurred in Kosovo.

Medical Insurance

Paying a little now can save you a lot later. Obtaining medical treatment and hospital care abroad can be expensive, and medical evacuation to the U.S. can cost more than $50,000. U.S. medical insurance is generally not accepted outside the United States. Social Security Medicare and Medicaid programs do not provide coverage for hospital or medical costs outside the United States.

Check your insurance policy. If it does not cover you abroad, it is a good idea to consider purchasing a short-term policy that does. There are health insurance policies designed specifically to cover travel. Many travel agents and private companies offer insurance plans that will cover health care expenses incurred overseas including medical evacuations.

If your insurance policy does include coverage outside of the U.S., carry both the insurance policy identity card showing the coverage and a claim form. Very few health insurance companies cover a medical evacuation back to the U.S. You may need to obtain insurance to cover a medical evacuation.

Kosovo Country Specific Information: Health

Medical facilities in Kosovo consist of private medical clinics and the government-sponsored University Clinical Center. Medical facilities outside Pristina have very limited capabilities. Quality controls are lacking, services are very basic, hygiene may be insufficient, and medical care is below Western European or U.S. standards. U.S. or Western European-licensed physicians and specialists are not available in Kosovo. If you encounter corruption while obtaining medical care, please report it to the U.S. Embassy and to local authorities.

Kosovo has few ambulances. Ambulances automatically take you to the public hospital. Injured or seriously ill U.S. citizens may be required to take taxis or other immediately available vehicles to the nearest major hospital rather than waiting for ambulances to arrive.

Consult your personal health-care provider before traveling to Kosovo, if you have a pre-existing medical condition.

• Carry a letter from your attending physician describing the medical condition and names (including generic names) of all prescription medications.
• Medications should be left in their original containers and clearly labeled. Prescription medication should be original packaging with your doctor’s prescription.
• Some prescription medication may not be available locally.
• Tap water is not potable or safe to drink. Take care that food is cooked thoroughly to reduce the risk of food-borne illness.
• Air pollution in Pristina is a problem, particularly during the winter. Travelers with upper respiratory ailments or asthma-like symptoms should consult their doctor prior to travel.
• We do not pay medical bills. Be aware that U.S. Medicare or Medicaid does not provide coverage overseas.
• Make sure your health insurance plan provides coverage overseas. Most care providers overseas only accept cash payments. See our webpage for more information on insurance providers for overseas coverage.
• We strongly recommend supplemental insurance to cover medical evacuation.

Vaccinations:

 Be up-to-date on all vaccinations recommended by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The following CDC-recommended vaccines for children are not available in Kosovo: Hib, Rotavirus, Inactivated Polio, Pneumococcal, and Varicella.

U.S. citizens planning on traveling from Kosovo to Mecca should be aware of the MERS Corona Virus Advisory issued by the Saudi government. For more information please see the Hajj Fact Sheet.
