Palate reconstruction surgery for Elias: covering what insurance won't

After endometriosis requiring surgery, Elias was cleared for palate reconstruction surgery, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Elias was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery in March. The surgeon at London Orthopedic Institute recommended palate reconstruction surgery, and He is scheduled for July. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $5,750, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $3,950 short. my father has been in and out of London Orthopedic Institute since March. The doctors say endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without palate reconstruction surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $5,750 is more than we can find. While we wait, Elias 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. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 10 weeks. During that time Elias won't be able to drive, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $3,950 goes: • Hospital stay (3 nights): $3,100 • Post-operative medication: $270 • Physiotherapy sessions: $580 Glad we found this place.
