Laparoscopic endometriosis surgery for Hitesh: covering what insurance won't
Hitesh needs laparoscopic endometriosis surgery at Nashik Regional Medical Center and the family is $1,000 short of the hospital's estimate.

Hitesh was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair in May. The surgeon at Nashik Regional Medical Center recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and He is scheduled for August. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,450, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $1,000 short.
my husband has been in and out of Nashik Regional Medical Center since May. The doctors say a cleft palate needing repair will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,450 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Hitesh struggles with daily life and can't walk without help. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
Recovery is expected to take about 5 weeks. During that time Hitesh won't be able to walk without help, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $1,000 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $430
• Hospital stay (5 nights): $370
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $45
• Post-operative medication: $35
• Physiotherapy sessions: $50
• Travel and lodging for the family: $70

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Hitesh?
Thank you. If you're in Nashik I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Good question.
Praying for you, Hetal. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
Shared it with a few friends. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best.
Thinking of you, Hetal. I hope things turn around soon.
