Q: Hysterectomy With No Health Insurace

I am 43 years old and have never had children however I do not plan to have any. I was just told by my gynocologist that I need a hysterectomy. I have fibroids and Endometriosis and suffer from moderate to severe pain daily. My doctor has offered to reduce her fee for the surgery but the hospital is telling me that their costs will run approximately $15,000. There is no way that I can pay that much money. Is anyone aware of any alternatives that I'm not aware of? I'm truly ready to be pain free and live a normal and enjoyable life again. Please help! Any informaton will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I wish I could help and give you a comforting answer. Unless you are on a state health plan like Medicaid, the hospital want's at least one half up front now.

If you're procedure has not taken place yet, there are Discount Medical Plans that may be able to assist depending on which state you're in. You will still have to pay something, but you will have an advocate who negotiate your hospital fee for you and can set up payment options for you more reasonable. Steps are simple to start, as you will only need to register in order to receive benefits. Plans are very affordable with no exclusions, regardless of pre-existing conditions.

Also these type of plans cover a variety of benefits included. I know this reply is late, but there are other options out there.

tlc on no insurance

I just had a partial hysterectomy and also have no insurance. I set up a payment plan with hospital for 200.00 a month. They originally wanted 500.00 and I could not pay this. I have medical bills coming in from all directions. Unfortunately, we fall in the category of middle class(working poor) and can't get any help from medicaid and can't afford insurance as we run our own business. Just pay what you can and worry about yourself first. Just make a payment, that is all you can do.
