ACL reconstruction for Mohit: covering what insurance won't

In August I was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery. My surgeon at New Delhi Regional Medical Center recommended ACL reconstruction, and I have been placed on the schedule for October. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $670, and after what my employer's plan will pay, I'm still $500 short. Doctors at New Delhi Regional Medical Center told me endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without ACL reconstruction. I work as a warehouse packer, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $670 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a warehouse packer have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 6 weeks. I'll not be able to lift anything heavy during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one. The money goes straight to the treatment bills, and I'll share the invoices as they're paid so you can see exactly what your gift did. Where the $500 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $75 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $390 • Post-operative medication: $35 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
