Help me pay for laparoscopic cyst removal at San Francisco Regional Medical Center

After a hernia that has become strangulated, Kylie was cleared for laparoscopic cyst removal, but the bill is more than we can manage.

San Francisco
In June I was diagnosed with a hernia that has become strangulated. My surgeon at San Francisco Regional Medical Center recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and I have been placed on the schedule for September. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $12,000, and after what my insurance will pay, I'm still $8,350 short. Doctors at San Francisco Regional Medical Center told me a hernia that has become strangulated will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. I work as a security guard, 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 security guard have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. The recovery period is expected to take about 5 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 $8,350 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $3,100 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $3,400 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $620 • Post-operative medication: $180 • Physiotherapy sessions: $620 • Travel and lodging for the family: $430 Glad we found this place.
