Hip replacement surgery for Budi: covering what insurance won't
Budi needs hip replacement surgery at Jakarta Selatan Orthopedic Institute and the family is $800 short of the hospital's estimate.
🇮🇩 Jakarta Selatan, DKI Jakarta, Indonesia621 views
Budi was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair in September. The surgeon at Jakarta Selatan Orthopedic Institute recommended hip replacement surgery, and He is scheduled for January. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,350, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $800 short.
my father has been in and out of Jakarta Selatan Orthopedic Institute since September. The doctors say a cleft palate needing repair will get worse without hip replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,350 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Budi struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
The recovery period is expected to take about 3 weeks. During that time Budi won't be able to lift anything heavy, so the costs keep growing.
The money goes straight to the treatment bills, and I'll share the invoices as they're paid so you can see exactly what your gift did.
Where the $800 goes:
• Travel and lodging for the family: $25
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $45
• Hospital stay (3 nights): $610
• Physiotherapy sessions: $120
Thanks for reading all this.

Praying for you, Bunga. I hope things turn around soon. God bless.
sending good thoughts, Bunga. Your post was clear and honest. Greetings from São Paulo.
Hang in there, Bunga. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless
Thinking of you and your family, Bunga. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out.
