Lung nodule removal price?

The doc has told me I’ve a 8mm lung nodule.
I’m meeting him next week to discuss what will happen next.

I’ve looked online but to no avail about how much an operation would cost

Would anyone know the price for removal ?

Thank you.

I think I have a few. Mine are calcified nodules, I believe. I guess there are other types. 8mm is not all that big. Unless you have trouble breathing or it is cancer, I do not think you will need to have anything removed. You may want to look at life changes to prevent more forming though, but that really depends.

And, if doctor suggests to remove it, it may be covered by NHI, not sure?

Thank you for your reply.

Definitely get a second and third opinion, as a minimum. I had an ER doc tell me I likely had a large cancerous tumor based on my lung x-ray, later another doc confirmed I had pneumonia.
