Septoplasty for Jing: covering what insurance won't

Jing was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly in August. The surgeon at Saint Elizabeth Hospital recommended septoplasty, and He is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $15,250, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $9,200 short. my father has been in and out of Saint Elizabeth Hospital since August. The doctors say a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without septoplasty. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $15,250 is more than we can find. While we wait, Jing struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. 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 3 weeks. During that time Jing won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, 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 $9,200 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $3,850 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $3,450 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $690 • Post-operative medication: $420 • Physiotherapy sessions: $590 • Travel and lodging for the family: $200 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
