Hip replacement surgery for Rohan: covering what insurance won't
Rohan needs hip replacement surgery at Aurangabad University Hospital and the family is $1,150 short of the hospital's estimate.
🇮🇳 Aurangabad, Maharashtra, India1,763 views
In May I was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst. My surgeon at Aurangabad University Hospital recommended hip replacement surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for August. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,900, and after what the public health scheme will pay, I'm still $1,150 short.
Doctors at Aurangabad University Hospital told me a large ovarian cyst will get worse without hip replacement surgery. I work as a farm laborer, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,900 is far beyond what I've.
Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a farm laborer have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk.
The recovery period is expected to take about 5 weeks. I'll not be able to drive 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 $1,150 goes:
• Hospital stay (3 nights): $600
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $330
• Physiotherapy sessions: $115
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $40
• Travel and lodging for the family: $65
If you're reading this, thank you.

Rooting for you. Get well soon. We're a small family in Philadelphia but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Philadelphia
Stay strong, Rohan. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care.
Thinking of you. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Greetings from Berlin.
Hang in there, Rohan. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Thinking of Aurangabad.
