Laparoscopic cyst removal for Pari: covering what insurance won't
A scheduled laparoscopic cyst removal in September is out of reach without help covering $800 of the cost.
🇮🇳 Maharashtra, India2,403 views
In May I was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction. My surgeon at Nashik Orthopedic Institute recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and I have been placed on the schedule for September. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,350, and after what my employer's plan will pay, I'm still $800 short.
Doctors at Nashik Orthopedic Institute told me a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. I work as a delivery rider, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,350 is far beyond what I've.
Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a delivery rider have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk.
The recovery period is expected to take about 7 weeks. I'll not be able to stand for more than ten minutes 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 $800 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $450
• Hospital stay (4 nights): $185
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $50
• Post-operative medication: $25
• Physiotherapy sessions: $50
• Travel and lodging for the family: $40
Glad we found this place.
