ACL reconstruction for Peyton: covering what insurance won't
Peyton needs ACL reconstruction at Saint Joseph Hospital and the family is $4,950 short of the hospital's estimate.
🇺🇸 United States3,152 views
Peyton was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery in August. The surgeon at Saint Joseph Hospital recommended ACL reconstruction, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $7,000, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $4,950 short.
my wife has been in and out of Saint Joseph Hospital since August. The doctors say endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without ACL reconstruction. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $7,000 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Peyton struggles with daily life and can't drive. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
Rehabilitation is expected to take about 7 weeks. During that time Peyton won't be able to drive, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $4,950 goes:
• Post-operative medication: $175
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,950
• Travel and lodging for the family: $250
• Hospital stay (5 nights): $1,575
Thanks for being kind about this.

Rooting for you, Asher. Shared this with my family. Thinking of Springfield.

Hope it all works out, Asher. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 19 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care

Hang in there, Asher. Shared this with my family. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Dayton.
take care. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Springfield.
