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

In July I was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly. My surgeon at Denver Regional Medical Center recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for October. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $14,750, and after what the public health scheme will pay, I'm still $7,350 short. Doctors at Denver Regional Medical Center told me a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. I work as a call-centre agent, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $14,750 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. The recovery period is expected to take about 3 weeks. I'll not be able to climb stairs 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 $7,350 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $730 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $520 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $3,600 • Post-operative medication: $390 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $2,110 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
