Try Saint Joseph's in Atlanta via Resurgeons Orthopedics. They have Charity Care. They wrote off my entire hip replacement. Dr. Titelman did my hubby's rotator cuff surgery and did a great job in spite of the fact that it was one of the worst he had ever seen. Good luck!

Look into https://www.facebook.com/108922835804179 Christian Healthcare Ministries too. 150/mo and basically covers everything over $500, and open enrollment year round. Its not insurance, its like a private single payer system.

Doctor Steven Wertheim at Resurgens orthopedics in Atlanta Georgia can help you out with that. Now outside of the referrals there's a lot of things can to consider... vacations revolving surgery are great there's a lot of risks. Usually most surgeons will not want you flying for at-least 3 weeks after surgery. The reasons are your blood clot risks are much higher Due to the increased pressure. Also infection rates in a foreign country are much higher. Then there's the fact that a rotator cuff repair is very involved And you need someone who only specializes in that kind of thing not a general orthopedist or a doctor who does orthopedic procedures which you will probly find in coasta Rica. The next thing to consider is because of the highly demanding surgery you're gonna need a lot of follow up care after. A lot of surgeons will not touch another surgeons work. After rotator cuff repair you'll need to be seen within the 1st 10 days after surgery for incisional care and to check the placement under buttons that hold the rotator cuff. Your arm will be checked to make sure there's no blood clots or nerve damage. From your progress on the 1st post up visit additional exercises instructions for movement will be given. Then you'll need to be seen 3 to 4 weeks later where basically they want to advance your motion. Then another 4 weeks later ill need to be seen. There are more benefits staying in the US and having your surgery thing going out. Plus you will need extinsive physical therapy after.I hope this all makes sense as on Google talking. Resurgens does take the uninsured and we do have ways of setting up a payment system or finding mercy care. If you would like to come to our Saint josephs office and see Dr. Wertheim tomorrow I can get you in so just let me know. If you do choose to go to costarica just make sure you do your homework and know what's involved Before & After. Good luck!
