Valve repair surgery for Hiroto: covering what insurance won't

Kawasaki
In May I was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery. My surgeon at Kawasaki Orthopedic Institute recommended valve repair surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for July. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $6,250, and after what my insurance will pay, I'm still $4,750 short. Doctors at Kawasaki Orthopedic Institute told me endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without valve repair surgery. I work as a farm laborer, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $6,250 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a farm laborer have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Recovery is expected to take about 8 weeks. I'll not be able to lift anything heavy 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 $4,750 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,650 • Physiotherapy sessions: $420 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $300 • Travel and lodging for the family: $210 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $2,170 I hope life is good to you.
