Hello Lorien
I have a Chiari Malformation type 1 and had the surgery in October last year in waikato hospital. There was no wait list and no cost whatsoever. It was all covered and done by the best Neurosurgeon in the north island and I do not have medical insurance. I have met other Chiari patients and one whom has become a very good friend she had her surgery in the south island about 18 months ago also with no cost. I am letting you know so you can sort why you have been told have to pay when you most definitely don't.

Thank you for your message.
We have heard of people getting it done in waikato. However the surgeon that Alexa has seen does not work out of Waikato. So that is not an option for her unless we start all over again with a new surgeon. There is a wait at ACH as trauma and tumours take precedence over non immediately life threatening conditions.
We hope that your surgery was a success and you are living your best life 🙂
