Laparoscopic cyst removal for Andrew: covering what insurance won't
Andrew needs laparoscopic cyst removal at Saint Francis Hospital and the family is $3,400 short of the hospital's estimate.

Andrew was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst in July. The surgeon at Saint Francis Hospital recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and He is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $4,850, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $3,400 short.
my father has been in and out of Saint Francis Hospital since July. The doctors say a large ovarian cyst 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, Andrew 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.
Recovery is expected to take about 8 weeks. During that time Andrew 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 $3,400 goes:
• Travel and lodging for the family: $280
• Post-operative medication: $230
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,600
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $290
