Septoplasty for Malathi: covering what insurance won't

Malathi was diagnosed with severe cataracts in both eyes in April. The surgeon at Dwarka Regional Medical Center recommended septoplasty, and She is scheduled for July. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,200, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $900 short. my mother has been in and out of Dwarka Regional Medical Center since April. The doctors say severe cataracts in both eyes will get worse without septoplasty. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,200 is more than we can find. While we wait, Malathi 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 5 weeks. During that time Malathi won't be able to lift anything heavy, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $900 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $75 • Post-operative medication: $30 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $330 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $45 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $420 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
