ACL reconstruction for Noah: covering what insurance won't

In August I was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor. My surgeon at Los Angeles Community Hospital recommended ACL reconstruction, and I have been placed on the schedule for December. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $11,000, and after what the public health scheme will pay, I'm still $7,700 short. Doctors at Los Angeles Community Hospital told me a benign brain tumor will get worse without ACL reconstruction. I work as a retail assistant, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $11,000 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a retail assistant have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. The recovery period is expected to take about 7 weeks. I'll not be able to work a full shift during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $7,700 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $440 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $3,450 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $3,500 • Physiotherapy sessions: $310 Glad we found this place.
