Laparoscopic endometriosis surgery for Daniel: covering what insurance won't

Daniel was diagnosed with a herniated spinal disc in August. The surgeon at La Plata Regional Medical Center recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and He is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $3,600, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $1,800 short. my son has been in and out of La Plata Regional Medical Center since August. The doctors say a herniated spinal disc will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $3,600 is more than we can find. While we wait, Daniel struggles with daily life and can't drive. 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 7 weeks. During that time Daniel won't be able to drive, so the costs keep growing. 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 $1,800 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $840 • Physiotherapy sessions: $80 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $880 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
