Hip replacement surgery for Rani: covering what insurance won't

Rani was diagnosed with a hernia that has become strangulated in July. The surgeon at Saket General Hospital recommended hip replacement surgery, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,400, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $850 short. my mother has been in and out of Saket General Hospital since July. The doctors say a hernia that has become strangulated will get worse without hip replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,400 is more than we can find. While we wait, Rani struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 10 weeks. During that time Rani won't be able to climb stairs, 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 $850 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $65 • Post-operative medication: $45 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $740 Thank you so much. - Alka
