Help me pay for a craniotomy at Tampa Community Hospital

Huy needs a craniotomy at Tampa Community Hospital and the family is $4,100 short of the hospital's estimate.

In December I was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal. My surgeon at Tampa Community Hospital recommended a craniotomy, and I have been placed on the schedule for March. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $5,500, and after what the public health scheme will pay, I'm still $4,100 short. Doctors at Tampa Community Hospital told me a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without a craniotomy. I work as a seamstress, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $5,500 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a seamstress have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Recovery is expected to take about 7 weeks. I'll not be able to work a full shift during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $4,100 goes: • Hospital stay (4 nights): $2,100 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $570 • Post-operative medication: $210 • Travel and lodging for the family: $400 • Physiotherapy sessions: $820 Glad we found this place.

      Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Huy.

      • Huy Nam PhanOwnerAnswerID verified

        Hospital stay (4 nights) is $2,100 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. I'll keep the page updated.

          Gave what I could, wish it was more. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings
