Cataract surgery for Nur: covering what insurance won't

In March I was diagnosed with severe cataracts in both eyes. My surgeon at Jakarta Selatan Regional Medical Center recommended cataract surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for June. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $930, and after what our health plan will pay, I'm still $650 short. Doctors at Jakarta Selatan Regional Medical Center told me severe cataracts in both eyes will get worse without cataract surgery. I work as a restaurant cook, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $930 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a restaurant cook have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Recovery is expected to take about 8 weeks. I'll not be able to walk without help 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 $650 goes: • Hospital stay (2 nights): $430 • Post-operative medication: $45 • Physiotherapy sessions: $100 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $75 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Nur
