Septoplasty for Jana: covering what insurance won't

After a thyroid nodule that needs removal, Jana was cleared for septoplasty, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Jana was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal in April. The surgeon at Hannover Community Hospital recommended septoplasty, and She is scheduled for July. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $7,250, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $5,400 short. my wife has been in and out of Hannover Community Hospital since April. The doctors say a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without septoplasty. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $7,250 is more than we can find. While we wait, Jana struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. 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 12 weeks. During that time Jana won't be able to lift anything heavy, so the costs keep growing. 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 $5,400 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,900 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $1,900 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $560 • Post-operative medication: $330 • Physiotherapy sessions: $490 • Travel and lodging for the family: $220 Thank you so much. - Jürgen

    You're not alone. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. After 7 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.

        I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Greetings from Kobe.
