Palate reconstruction surgery for Agnieszka: covering what insurance won't

In April I was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly. My surgeon at Poznań Regional Medical Center recommended palate reconstruction surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for June. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,700, and after what the public health scheme will pay, I'm still $1,350 short. Doctors at Poznań Regional Medical Center told me a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without palate reconstruction surgery. I work as a market vendor, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,700 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a market vendor have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Recovery is expected to take about 8 weeks. I'll not be able to work a full shift during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $1,350 goes: • Post-operative medication: $135 • Physiotherapy sessions: $185 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,030 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
