Las Cruces
John was diagnosed with severe cataracts in both eyes in June. The surgeon at Las Cruces Regional Medical Center recommended a partial thyroidectomy, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $10,250, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $7,150 short. my son has been in and out of Las Cruces Regional Medical Center since June. The doctors say severe cataracts in both eyes will get worse without a partial thyroidectomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $10,250 is more than we can find. While we wait, John struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Recovery is expected to take about 12 weeks. During that time John won't be able to work a full shift, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $7,150 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,750 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $3,000 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $420 • Post-operative medication: $240 • Physiotherapy sessions: $340 • Travel and lodging for the family: $400 Glad we found this place.
