Cataract surgery for Hiba: covering what insurance won't

Hiba was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst in May. The surgeon at Paris General Hospital recommended cataract surgery, and She is scheduled for August. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $7,500, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $5,550 short. my daughter has been in and out of Paris General Hospital since May. The doctors say a large ovarian cyst will get worse without cataract surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $7,500 is more than we can find. While we wait, Hiba struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 10 weeks. During that time Hiba won't be able to lift anything heavy, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $5,550 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $420 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,300 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $370 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $2,460 Glad we found this place.
