Help Nicole get home after emergency surgery in the USA

  • Welcome home Nicole

      4 March 2024

    Kia ora everyone

    Thank you all for your continued support for Nicole and Scott.

    My apologies for the quiet time, we have Nicole home from New York!! YAY!!

    Nicole is still feeling the effects of the surgery and the clots in her lungs means occasional breathless so she is trying to rest as much as she is able.

    We are so happy to have her on home soil and not stacking up more medical fees.

    As you might have seen in tte Press follow-up today.. Stoney Brook Hospital has approved financial aid and have said she qualified to reduce the cost of her medical bills there by half. This is amazing news but still have around $150k still owing to work through and what that looks like now to start the appeal process with Allianz, the insurance company ANZ uses.

    Its interesting that we have had conact from others in a similar situation with this insurance company so be aware, a warning to us all.

    Thank you again for your support.

      I sincerely hope that you use any monies received to hire a lawyer to make the insurance company pay. They keep getting away with outrageous pushback's. Good luck!
