Knee replacement surgery for Sita: covering what insurance won't

Sita was diagnosed with a deviated septum causing chronic infections in February. The surgeon at Rohini University Hospital recommended knee replacement surgery, and She is scheduled for May. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $920, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $550 short. my daughter has been in and out of Rohini University Hospital since February. The doctors say a deviated septum causing chronic infections will get worse without knee replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $920 is more than we can find. While we wait, Sita struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Recovery is expected to take about 4 weeks. During that time Sita won't be able to look after the children alone, 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 $550 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $55 • Post-operative medication: $45 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $410 • Physiotherapy sessions: $40 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Bhavna
