Help me pay for laparoscopic cyst removal at Birmingham Regional Medical Center

Angela needs laparoscopic cyst removal at Birmingham Regional Medical Center and the family is $5,950 short of the hospital's estimate.

In October I was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction. My surgeon at Birmingham Regional Medical Center recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and I have been placed on the schedule for January. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $12,000, and after what our health plan will pay, I'm still $5,950 short. Doctors at Birmingham Regional Medical Center told me a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. I work as a delivery rider, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $12,000 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 8 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. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $5,950 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,800 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $1,750 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $510 • Post-operative medication: $210 • Physiotherapy sessions: $530 • Travel and lodging for the family: $150 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

        take care. Shared it with a few friends. After 15 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.
