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

Beau needs laparoscopic cyst removal at Los Angeles Orthopedic Institute and the family is $5,400 short of the hospital's estimate.

In September I was diagnosed with gallstones with repeated infections. My surgeon at Los Angeles Orthopedic Institute recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and I have been placed on the schedule for November. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $7,250, and after what the public health scheme will pay, I'm still $5,400 short. Doctors at Los Angeles Orthopedic Institute told me gallstones with repeated infections will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. I work as a call-centre agent, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $7,250 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a call-centre agent have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Recovery is expected to take about 7 weeks. I'll not be able to lift anything heavy 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 $5,400 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $3,850 • Post-operative medication: $210 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $330 • Physiotherapy sessions: $530 • Travel and lodging for the family: $480 Every share and every dollar helps.
