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

Noemi needs a partial thyroidectomy at Bergamo University Hospital and the family is $2,450 short of the hospital's estimate.

In July I was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery. My surgeon at Bergamo University Hospital recommended a partial thyroidectomy, and I have been placed on the schedule for October. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $4,100, and after what the public health scheme will pay, I'm still $2,450 short. Doctors at Bergamo University Hospital told me endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without a partial thyroidectomy. I work as a security guard, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $4,100 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a security guard have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. The recovery period is expected to take about 6 weeks. I'll not be able to climb stairs 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 $2,450 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $200 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $1,950 • Post-operative medication: $300 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Noemi
