My hubs and I almost choked on the surgery bill on Thursday. The Chalazion surgery, which is a very minor surgery only took 5 minutes. The ophthalmologist removed a lot of pus and other jelly-like liquid from under Baby’s eyelid. Though the surgery was minor and short, it was a choking, whopping close to RM2k bill!!
This is Baby, minutes after the Chalazion surgery. I thank God that Baby did not complain of any pain after the surgery. No oral antibiotics were prescribed, only an eye drop for the eye, which has to be dropped onto the eye 4x a day for a week. The bandaged was removed before she was discharged from daycare at the eye specialist centre. No bandage was needed thereafter, though there was a little watery blood oozing out from under the eye where the incision was made.
oh my…the bill is ridiculous. is it covered by insurance?
that is alot of money! gosh, i thought it won’t cost more than 1k. i hope u guys got it covered by insurance.
Barb and Syn… we were told by the ophthalmologist that there has never been a case where the claim was rejected by the insurer. We hope our claim gets approved.
ISEC is expensive but the doctors are very professional and they cover all fields related to eye disorder. My dad has glaucoma n they needed to operate him to insert a tiny tube to drain liquids out. Cost w whopping RM10k, for few hours work only. I jokingly asked my nephew to study opthalmology so we aunties can get free treatment next time. .
poor baby….i’m speechless shireen. i hope bb C will be spared from the knife for the rest of her life & live a healthy life ever after…amen 😀
speedy recovery ya…aunty will c u soon !!
