A question for those of you, who had GRS/SRS and are from the countries, where the state or private insurers don’t refund it even partially. [1] How did you fund it? Have you saved enough in case you earn rather good money? Created an internet fundraiser or at least a tip jar and “campaigned” for it? I’m single (and have been since, well, very long time) and although I earn well, I’m very anxious about finances, especially that I still have a mortgage. I’m worried about stable income too and to have enough savings to not suddenly be homeless in case of losing my job…
[1] I’m from Poland, it’s one of those countries.
Are you in the U.S.?
Why not intentionally seek out an insurance plan that will cover it? The costs can be quite high (tens of thousands of dollars).
Nope, Poland. I know in the US you can have it partially refunded by a private insurer (talked to an American friend about it).
yeah, it depends on the insurer and the plan you have with that insurer, and a few other things - but some people don’t have to pay anything out of pocket for surgery
EDIT: checkout some of the resources linked in the wiki: https://old.reddit.com/r/TransSurgeriesWiki/wiki/srs/europe#wiki_poland
maybe they could connect you to a community of people who know more about how to get the surgeries covered financially
I know those resources (some of them are not very helpful imo). I also know those communities but generally stay away from discord and facebook. (But thanks for the link)
