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

Ibrahim needs valve repair surgery at Giza Community Hospital and the family is $1,100 short of the hospital's estimate.

In July I was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly. My surgeon at Giza Community Hospital recommended valve repair surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for September. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,550, and after what our health plan will pay, I'm still $1,100 short. Doctors at Giza Community Hospital told me a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without valve repair surgery. I work as a school bus driver, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,550 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. The recovery period is expected to take about 6 weeks. I'll not be able to stand for more than ten minutes during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one. 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 $1,100 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $370 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $500 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $60 • Post-operative medication: $35 • Physiotherapy sessions: $100 • Travel and lodging for the family: $35 Glad we found this place.
