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

In May I was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor. My surgeon at Durgapur General Hospital recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and I have been placed on the schedule for July. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $810, and after what the government subsidy will pay, I'm still $650 short. Doctors at Durgapur General Hospital told me a benign brain tumor will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. I work as a hotel cleaner, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $810 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a hotel cleaner have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Recovery is expected to take about 3 weeks. I'll not be able to lift anything heavy 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 $650 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $40 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $560 • Travel and lodging for the family: $50 Thanks for being kind about this. - Rajiv
