Septoplasty for Megan: covering what insurance won't

Megan was diagnosed with severe cataracts in both eyes in July. The surgeon at Warren General Hospital recommended septoplasty, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $4,150, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $2,900 short. my daughter has been in and out of Warren General Hospital since July. The doctors say severe cataracts in both eyes will get worse without septoplasty. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $4,150 is more than we can find. While we wait, Megan struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 6 weeks. During that time Megan won't be able to look after the children alone, 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 $2,900 goes: • Post-operative medication: $360 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,800 • Physiotherapy sessions: $470 • Travel and lodging for the family: $270 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
