Help: Shattered hip in Italy.

https://ift.tt/REhPlT6

My grandmother is traveling in Italy and fell while in Rome. She shattered her hip and is in the hospital. The doctors say she needs surgery but U.S. Medicare says they won’t cover it. By the sounds of it, my grandparents are left with two options: (1) pay for surgery in advance or (2) pay for a medical flight home. Apparently a medical flight costs upwards of $100 grand, which isn’t doable for my family. Any advice?

Note: their flight home is booked for Tuesday, June 6. Doctors say she needs to do surgery tomorrow (May 30) to make the flight home.
