Laparoscopic cyst removal for Naresh: covering what insurance won't
A scheduled laparoscopic cyst removal in May is out of reach without help covering $1,200 of the cost.
🇳🇵 Biratnagar, Koshi, Nepal1,048 views
In February I was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in the right knee. My surgeon at Biratnagar University Hospital recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and I have been placed on the schedule for May. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $2,000, and after what my employer's plan will pay, I'm still $1,200 short.
Doctors at Biratnagar University Hospital told me osteoarthritis in the right knee will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. I work as a farm laborer, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $2,000 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.
Rehabilitation is expected to take about 3 weeks. I'll not be able to work a full shift 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 $1,200 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $590
• Hospital stay (3 nights): $370
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $70
• Post-operative medication: $20
• Physiotherapy sessions: $100
• Travel and lodging for the family: $50
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
