A partial thyroidectomy for Lipi: covering what insurance won't

After a cleft palate needing repair, Lipi was cleared for a partial thyroidectomy, but the bill is more than we can manage.

In October I was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair. My surgeon at Narayanganj Regional Medical Center recommended a partial thyroidectomy, and I have been placed on the schedule for January. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,600, and after what the public health scheme will pay, I'm still $950 short. Doctors at Narayanganj Regional Medical Center told me a cleft palate needing repair will get worse without a partial thyroidectomy. I work as a hotel cleaner, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,600 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a hotel cleaner have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Recovery is expected to take about 6 weeks. I'll not be able to drive during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one. The money goes straight to the treatment bills, and I'll share the invoices as they're paid so you can see exactly what your gift did. Where the $950 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $380 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $370 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $70 • Post-operative medication: $30 • Physiotherapy sessions: $80 • Travel and lodging for the family: $20 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
