The District Prosecutor’s Office in Bydgoszcz continues to investigate Mogilno Hospital following allegations of financial mismanagement and fraudulent medical billing practices involving external neurosurgical contracts and questionable National Health Fund reimbursements.<\/p>\n
The District Prosecutor’s Office in Bydgoszcz launched an investigation into the Mogilno Hospital in late 2024 following a formal report filed by the facility’s new management. As of July 8, no criminal charges have been filed against any individuals, according to Deputy Chief Prosecutor Agnieszka Adamska-Oko\u0144ska.<\/p>\n
An internal audit initiated by the hospital revealed concerns regarding the economic justification for outsourcing medical procedures to an external company. The controversy centers on pain management treatments involving minimally invasive spinal procedures, which also triggered a negative National Health Fund (NFZ) audit regarding the accuracy of reimbursement documentation.<\/p>\n
The investigation explores whether the previous management acted to the financial detriment of the hospital. Under the contested agreement, the external firm held minimal operational costs yet received 65 percent of the reimbursement, while the hospital\u2014providing the facilities, equipment, and staff\u2014received only 35 percent.<\/p>\n
A second investigative thread focuses on suspected reimbursement fraud. Findings suggest that simple, low-cost procedures performed on Saturdays were reported as expensive, hospital-based interventions to secure higher NFZ payouts. Prosecutors are currently awaiting expert opinions on hospital management and billing practices.<\/p>\n
Media reports have highlighted that the neurosurgery company engaged by the hospital allegedly invoiced for exceptionally high daily and hourly rates. Nurses assisting in these procedures were reportedly provided small monthly stipends, while the hospital faced a penalty exceeding 2.6 million PLN from the NFZ due to the overbilling of ambulatory care as hospitalizations.<\/p>\n
The NFZ identified these irregularities through a nationwide analysis of health service provision. The hospital has formally challenged the results of the NFZ audit, and an appeals procedure is currently underway.<\/p>\n
