Cataract surgery for Duy: covering what insurance won't

After endometriosis requiring surgery, Duy was cleared for cataract surgery, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Cầu Giấy
Duy was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery in September. The surgeon at Cầu Giấy Regional Medical Center recommended cataract surgery, and He is scheduled for December. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,300, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $1,150 short. my husband has been in and out of Cầu Giấy Regional Medical Center since September. The doctors say endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without cataract surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,300 is more than we can find. While we wait, Duy struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 10 weeks. During that time Duy won't be able to work a full shift, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $1,150 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $580 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $85 • Post-operative medication: $45 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $330 • Physiotherapy sessions: $110 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Dung
