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

After endometriosis requiring surgery, María was cleared for laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, but the bill is more than we can manage.

In November I was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery. My surgeon at Alcalá de Henares General Hospital recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for January. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $4,500, and after what the public health scheme will pay, I'm still $2,700 short. Doctors at Alcalá de Henares General Hospital told me endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. I work as a seamstress, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $4,500 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a seamstress have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Recovery is expected to take about 12 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. 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 $2,700 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $410 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,800 • Physiotherapy sessions: $490 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - María
