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

In June I was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly. My surgeon at Lahore Orthopedic Institute recommended palate reconstruction surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for October. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $580, and after what our health plan will pay, I'm still $350 short. Doctors at Lahore Orthopedic Institute told me a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without palate reconstruction surgery. I work as a taxi driver, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $580 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a taxi driver have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. The recovery period is expected to take about 12 weeks. I'll not be able to drive 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 $350 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $50 • Post-operative medication: $35 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $250 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $15 Thanks for reading all this. - Zara
