Help me pay for cataract surgery at Jakarta Barat Regional Medical Center

After osteoarthritis in the right knee, Hesti was cleared for cataract surgery, but the bill is more than we can manage.

In August I was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in the right knee. My surgeon at Jakarta Barat Regional Medical Center recommended cataract surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for December. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,050, and after what my employer's plan will pay, I'm still $750 short. Doctors at Jakarta Barat Regional Medical Center told me osteoarthritis in the right knee will get worse without cataract surgery. I work as a delivery rider, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,050 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. The recovery period is expected to take about 7 weeks. I'll not be able to look after the children alone 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 $750 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $550 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $80 • Physiotherapy sessions: $75 • Post-operative medication: $45 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
