Help me pay for laparoscopic cyst removal at Kansas City Regional Medical Center
A scheduled laparoscopic cyst removal in July is out of reach without help covering $2,900 of the cost.
🇺🇸 Kansas City, Missouri, United States2,953 views
In April I was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction. My surgeon at Kansas City Regional Medical Center recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and I have been placed on the schedule for July. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $4,850, and after what our health plan will pay, I'm still $2,900 short.
Doctors at Kansas City Regional Medical Center told me a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. I work as a market vendor, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $4,850 is far beyond what I've.
Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a market vendor have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk.
Recovery is expected to take about 6 weeks. I'll not be able to climb stairs 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 $2,900 goes:
• Physiotherapy sessions: $420
• Post-operative medication: $350
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,800
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $330
Thank you so much.

Any update on how things are going in Kansas City?
Sending love. Hope you get there. I hope August is when things finally get easier
what exactly is the $2,900 for?
Sure. The biggest one is physiotherapy sessions, $420. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Good question.
Best of luck. Hope the doctors have good news. God bless.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Anthony?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about physiotherapy sessions, advice is welcome too. Let me know if you want more detail.
