Valve repair surgery for Yash: covering what insurance won't
A scheduled valve repair surgery in May is out of reach without help covering $850 of the cost.
🇮🇳 Mysuru, Karnataka, India1,568 views
Yash was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly in March. The surgeon at Mysuru General Hospital recommended valve repair surgery, and He is scheduled for May. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,050, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $850 short.
my brother has been in and out of Mysuru General Hospital since March. The doctors say a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without valve repair surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,050 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Yash struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
Rehabilitation is expected to take about 12 weeks. During that time Yash 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 $850 goes:
• Physiotherapy sessions: $75
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $50
• Post-operative medication: $60
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $590
• Travel and lodging for the family: $75
Thank you so much.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Yash
Physiotherapy sessions is $75 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Let me know if you want more detail.
Thinking of you and your family, Bhavna. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
