Laparoscopic cyst removal for Novi: covering what insurance won't
A scheduled laparoscopic cyst removal in September is out of reach without help covering $900 of the cost.

Novi was diagnosed with an aortic valve defect in June. The surgeon at Depok Orthopedic Institute recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and She is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,300, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $900 short.
my daughter has been in and out of Depok Orthopedic Institute since June. The doctors say an aortic valve defect will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,300 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Novi struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
Recovery is expected to take about 7 weeks. During that time Novi won't be able to look after the children alone, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $900 goes:
• Physiotherapy sessions: $85
• Hospital stay (3 nights): $430
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $385
Glad we found this place.
