July 13th 2021 I got diagnosed with vascularized breast nodules. Since half of my family has died of cancer, my doctor decided that I needed a mastectomy with reconstruction. I got it. November 8th I had my surgery and November 9th had complications. Two blood vessels were bleeding actively got me an infection, so I had to enter the OR again. Later I found out that I lost more than half my nipple and areola A month later, I received the bill. I thought I didn't have to pay anything else since I paid USD$2000 prior to the surgery. The bill is for USD$6000 now ¿Why? Because here, in my country (Chile, south America) they consider the mastectomy as an esthetic procedure so health insurance doesn't cover for it. Now IDK what to do. Now I need to get another surgery to fix my breasts and to get my definitive ones. That's why I come here to ask you for help.
