Hey Guys, Need some advise here.
I have a condition called "Pectus Excavotum" which is an inward curvature of my chest wall. This condition causes me to have trouble breathing and performing under stressful athletic activities. I just turned 21 years old and I work at a job making under 15k per year. The job has no insurance or benefits.
This surgery to fix my condition is NOT considered cosmetic but costs an average of 30,000 dollars. I obviously cannot afford this but I am in need of this surgery. Is insurance or medicaid better for my particular case? I hear insurance may deny my claim and thus is risky. Is there any other way I can get this surgery without being in debt for years and years? Any help is greatly appreciated!
