A craniotomy for Min-seo: covering what insurance won't

Min-seo was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery in December. The surgeon at Seoul Community Hospital recommended a craniotomy, and She is scheduled for April. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,850, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $2,150 short. my wife has been in and out of Seoul Community Hospital since December. The doctors say endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without a craniotomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,850 is more than we can find. While we wait, Min-seo struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. 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 6 weeks. During that time Min-seo won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $2,150 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $230 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $300 • Post-operative medication: $165 • Physiotherapy sessions: $350 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,105 Glad we found this place.
