Laparoscopic endometriosis surgery for Rekha: covering what insurance won't

Rekha was diagnosed with a herniated spinal disc in August. The surgeon at Coimbatore Community Hospital recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,150, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $900 short. my daughter has been in and out of Coimbatore Community Hospital since August. The doctors say a herniated spinal disc will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,150 is more than we can find. While we wait, Rekha struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 10 weeks. During that time Rekha won't be able to lift anything heavy, so the costs keep growing. The money goes straight to the treatment bills, and I'll share the invoices as they're paid so you can see exactly what your gift did. Where the $900 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $280 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $310 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $85 • Post-operative medication: $55 • Physiotherapy sessions: $95 • Travel and lodging for the family: $75 Every share and every dollar helps. - Divya
