In your place, I would be asking the doctors to explain all the possibilities very thoroughly. Then, "not AUTOMATICALLY covered." What does that mean? When you have talked to the doctors so you know what they think is wrong with your mother, and why, then you will be in a better position to talk to the insurance company.
Insurance said they canÂ’t cover this as itÂ’s related to heart disease as it due to blood clot which is stuck to the mechanical valve leaflet which led to congestion to the blood flow. As my mother was on blood thinners.
Hi JandM after one year middlemore hospital emailed us the medical billed more than 60k which is very shocking for me.
I would request you to help me to find if I can get any financial assistance in nz hospital or charity.
I will be very appreciated.
