Cataract surgery for Naana: covering what insurance won't

After gallstones with repeated infections, Naana was cleared for cataract surgery, but the bill is more than we can manage.

In June I was diagnosed with gallstones with repeated infections. My surgeon at Cape Coast General Hospital recommended cataract surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for August. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,400, and after what our health plan will pay, I'm still $700 short. Doctors at Cape Coast General Hospital told me gallstones with repeated infections will get worse without cataract surgery. I work as a delivery rider, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,400 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a delivery rider have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Recovery is expected to take about 4 weeks. I'll not be able to work a full shift during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $700 goes: • Hospital stay (3 nights): $530 • Physiotherapy sessions: $140 • Post-operative medication: $30 With deep gratitude, Naana
