Help me pay for spinal decompression surgery at Denver Regional Medical Center
After severe cataracts in both eyes, Pranav was cleared for spinal decompression surgery, but the bill is more than we can manage.
🇺🇸 Denver, Colorado, United States7,341 views
In July I was diagnosed with severe cataracts in both eyes. My surgeon at Denver Regional Medical Center recommended spinal decompression surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for November. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $10,750, and after what my insurance will pay, I'm still $8,500 short.
Doctors at Denver Regional Medical Center told me severe cataracts in both eyes will get worse without spinal decompression surgery. I work as a delivery rider, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $10,750 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 10 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 $8,500 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $3,500
• Hospital stay (2 nights): $3,000
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $640
• Post-operative medication: $160
• Physiotherapy sessions: $760
• Travel and lodging for the family: $440

Rooting for you, Pranav. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.

Thanks for sharing this, Pranav. Shared it with a few friends. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings.

Good luck, Pranav. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.
