Help me pay for a craniotomy at Saint Elizabeth Hospital

A scheduled a craniotomy in March is out of reach without help covering $850 of the cost.

In January I was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst. My surgeon at Saint Elizabeth Hospital recommended a craniotomy, and I have been placed on the schedule for March. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,700, and after what our health plan will pay, I'm still $850 short. Doctors at Saint Elizabeth Hospital told me a large ovarian cyst will get worse without a craniotomy. I work as a delivery rider, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,700 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a delivery rider have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 3 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 $850 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $320 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $340 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $35 • Post-operative medication: $30 • Physiotherapy sessions: $60 • Travel and lodging for the family: $65 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

    is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Arif!

    • Arif Saif RahmanOwnerAnswer

      Sure. The biggest one is surgeon and anesthesia fees, $320. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Fair thing to want to know.
