Septoplasty for Mazen: covering what insurance won't

In August I was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery. My surgeon at Casablanca Regional Medical Center recommended septoplasty, and I have been placed on the schedule for October. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $3,100, and after what my insurance will pay, I'm still $1,550 short. Doctors at Casablanca Regional Medical Center told me endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without septoplasty. I work as a school bus driver, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $3,100 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a school bus driver have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 5 weeks. I'll not be able to walk without help 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 $1,550 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $920 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $310 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $90 • Post-operative medication: $65 • Physiotherapy sessions: $115 • Travel and lodging for the family: $50 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
