As many of you know, I am in need of open-heart surgery. I have 2 valves that need to be replaced. My surgery is scheduled for June 24th.
I cannot have the surgery until the dentist gives the OK, and they won’t give the OK until I have my teeth cleaned and cavities filled. I have appointments scheduled prior to the 24th. The total of all the appointments will be $2,975.20. This is with insurance.
In addition to the dental work, I received a bill for the upcoming procedure (CT TAVR scan) in the amount of $470 (my portion due). I feel bad for asking for help, but this surgery is needed. I cannot afford not to have it.
