Laparoscopic cyst removal for Apurva: covering what insurance won't

After endometriosis requiring surgery, Apurva was cleared for laparoscopic cyst removal, but the bill is more than we can manage.

In June I was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery. My surgeon at Nagpur Regional Medical Center recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and I have been placed on the schedule for October. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,400, and after what our health plan will pay, I'm still $850 short. Doctors at Nagpur Regional Medical Center told me endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. I work as a care assistant, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,400 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a care assistant have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Recovery is expected to take about 6 weeks. I'll not be able to walk without help 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 $850 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $560 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $230 • Travel and lodging for the family: $60 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
