I found out about a week ago that my son will need tubes put in his ears. We scheduled him for surgery for the 21st and the surgery center calls me today saying we will have to pay $1,437 day of and they don't take payment plans. She said the normal price is $4,800 and the insurance got it down to $1,437. He's had ear infections and strep constantly since January and now I'm scared the surgery won't happen. How do they expect every parent to have that much money up front? 😔💔

@hallehaley girl I do too but heck we got to let go of our pride and accept any kinds of help
@deafmama16 @momof3guys I feel so bad asking people for money 😣
@deafmama16, yes that's what I told her to do it'll help her out alot
@hallehaley a loan? Maybe a GoFundMe?
@deafmama16 @momof3guys yeah, I've been calling people all morning and I keep telling them that most people do not have that much money available! and they said "I know, I don't." OKAY, THEN PLEASE HELP ME OUTTTT! I would of worked overtime if I would of known, but now it's too late. I would work overtime and get it on my July 28th check, and that's too late.
@kambam He's been going to his pediatrician almost every week for 6 months and they finally said he needed to see an ENT. The ENT suggested tubes as the best option. He's almost two so his ears might get a lot better once he hits two and I could wait, but it's no guarantee. I don't mind him getting tubes, I just can't afford it.
The tube basically drains the fluids and it doesn't hurt honestly. I remember my surgery very well at a young age. I would try to appeal the cost of the surgery with your insurance but again suck they don't have payments plan
That sucks im sorry! I hate to sound opinionated but I care. Have you gotten a second opinion on the tubes? And did they explain that it may or may not fix the issue and the other risks of ear tubes? The ears, nose and throat are all closely connected. One issue in the throat could cause a problem in the ears but the ears might not be the problem, just a casualty. Sometimes a homeopathic doctor can be helpful in these circumstances to help you diagnose and treat the underlying issue of the infections and avoid the invasive procedure.
That's alot to make in such short notice but it meant hurt to set up a go fund me account! Or do some extra work round ppl houses or something
Exactly what @deafmama16, said gotta do it for the kids ppl will understand
