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

After osteoarthritis in the right knee, Adrián was cleared for laparoscopic cyst removal, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Adrián was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in the right knee in August. The surgeon at Saint Francis Hospital recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and He is scheduled for December. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $4,850, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $2,900 short. my son has been in and out of Saint Francis Hospital since August. The doctors say osteoarthritis in the right knee will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $4,850 is more than we can find. While we wait, Adrián struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 4 weeks. During that time Adrián won't be able to lift anything heavy, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $2,900 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,300 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $1,150 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $180 • Post-operative medication: $100 • Physiotherapy sessions: $105 • Travel and lodging for the family: $65 Glad we found this place.
