Reimbursement for lost glasses in hospital
By Mia Tucker
My husband lost a pair of glasses when he was in hospital for assessment. He didn't have a spare pair so I had two more pairs made.
I mentioned the loss to the nurse who was doing the continuing healthcare assessment and he said that I could claim for them, something I hadn't thought possible.
I asked the ward manager about this and he told me that it was unlikely I would succeed but he would give me the form and I could try.
Anyway, I was surprised and delighted the other day when I received a cheque for one of the pairs and I wanted to let you all know that it is possible to be reimbursed for such things.
It will go towards my husbands CH fees.
