Laparoscopic cyst removal for Aarón: covering what insurance won't

In December I was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst. My surgeon at Girona Orthopedic Institute recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and I have been placed on the schedule for March. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $6,000, and after what our health plan will pay, I'm still $4,500 short. Doctors at Girona Orthopedic Institute told me a large ovarian cyst will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. I work as a school bus driver, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $6,000 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a school bus driver have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 12 weeks. I'll not be able to look after the children alone 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 $4,500 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $320 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $250 • Physiotherapy sessions: $310 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $1,850 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,770 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
