Eligibility for the refund programme is directly related to the cause of the amputation. The costs of the prosthetic and the rehabilitation treatment can be covered in full or in part by the following organisations:
The patient receives from their doctor a note requesting provision of orthopaedic equipment. It contains a special code which determines what kind of equipment is requested. The policy for provision of orthopaedic equipment and aid is regulated by the Ordinance of the Minister of Health from 29.05.2017. It includes a detailed list of orthopaedic equipment and aid that is covered by the refund programme, the percentage of the cost being covered, and the criteria for granting a refund, as well as the issue periods. The note should be presented at the orthopaedic-prosthetic shop.
This is a program that helps finance prosthetics which is mostly intended for people who are still working or learning, or who are within the working age (18-65). This is because its main objective is to aid people in returning to work or finding employment. The maximum amount of coverage is:
PLN 14 000 for below-the-knee prosthesis,
PLN 20 000 for above-the-knee prosthesis (with obligatory 10% own contribution from the patient)
The note requesting provision of orthopaedic equipment entitles the patient to apply for a PFRON refund. The application can be made in one of the abovementioned institutions at the patient’s place of residence. The refund amount is calculated on the basis of the basic refund granted by the NFZ. The maximum amount of refund is 150% of the basic NFZ refund.
In Poland there are numerous foundations providing help for disabled persons. Each operates a different policy, and the patient should learn about the operation procedures of each specific foundation. The refund applications are also reviewed individually, depending on the given organisation, and the refund amounts offered vary.
There are many various insurance schemes available on the market. Eligibility for compensation and its amount depend on many different factors, defined individually by the given insurance company. Depending on where you are insured and what is your policy, the type of accident you suffered, its circumstances, etc., you should contact the relevant institution/insurance company.
There is a possibility of receiving a contribution from your workplace. For more details, the patient should contact their current or former employer directly.
