Utami's laparoscopic cyst removal can't wait - please help us cover the bill

Utami needs laparoscopic cyst removal at Jakarta University Hospital and the family is $700 short of the hospital's estimate.

In May I was diagnosed with a deviated septum causing chronic infections. My surgeon at Jakarta University Hospital recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and I have been placed on the schedule for September. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $930, and after what our health plan will pay, I'm still $700 short. Doctors at Jakarta University Hospital told me a deviated septum causing chronic infections will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. I work as a call-centre agent, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $930 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a call-centre agent have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 7 weeks. I'll not be able to climb stairs 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 $700 goes: • Post-operative medication: $55 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $400 • Travel and lodging for the family: $50 • Physiotherapy sessions: $105 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $90 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

        Hope things get better soon, Utami. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Take care.

        • Sharon R. WangQuestion

          Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Utami.

          • Utami Putri WijayaOwnerAnswerPhoto verified

            Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. post-operative medication comes first ($55) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Ask me anything else.
