Septoplasty for Neha: covering what insurance won't
After endometriosis requiring surgery, Neha was cleared for septoplasty, but the bill is more than we can manage.

In June I was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery. My surgeon at Nagpur General Hospital recommended septoplasty, and I have been placed on the schedule for October. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $930, and after what the public health scheme will pay, I'm still $650 short.
Doctors at Nagpur General Hospital told me endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without septoplasty. I work as a care assistant, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $930 is far beyond what I've.
Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a care assistant have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk.
Rehabilitation is expected to take about 3 weeks. I'll not be able to climb stairs during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one.
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 $650 goes:
• Post-operative medication: $55
• Physiotherapy sessions: $60
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $410
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $75
• Travel and lodging for the family: $50
Thank you so much.

Take care, Neha. Shared this with my family. Take care
Thinking of you, Neha. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Take care, Neha. Hope you get there. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care
Wishing you peace, Neha. Your post was clear and honest. Love from Shinjuku.
Sending strength. Shared it with a few friends. After 11 years in engineering I know how hard it is to ask for anything.
