Help me pay for hip replacement surgery at Quezon City Orthopedic Institute

A scheduled hip replacement surgery in November is out of reach without help covering $1,150 of the cost.

In August I was diagnosed with a deviated septum causing chronic infections. My surgeon at Quezon City Orthopedic Institute recommended hip replacement surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for November. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $2,300, and after what our health plan will pay, I'm still $1,150 short. Doctors at Quezon City Orthopedic Institute told me a deviated septum causing chronic infections will get worse without hip replacement surgery. I work as a delivery rider, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $2,300 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. Recovery is expected to take about 12 weeks. I'll not be able to walk without help during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one. The money goes straight to the treatment bills, and I'll share the invoices as they're paid so you can see exactly what your gift did. Where the $1,150 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $640 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $120 • Post-operative medication: $75 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $220 • Physiotherapy sessions: $95 Thank you so much.

Updates from Allan

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($458 in total) the plan for pre-operative tests and imaging is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

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

        • Allan B. ValdezOwnerAnswer

          Surgeon and anesthesia fees is $640 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Fair thing to want to know.

      • Dalia Nadia Kassem

        Sending strength, Allan. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home

        • Yasmin Zahra Rashid

          Thinking of you and your family. Your post was clear and honest. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
