Why don't you share your story with someone at the embassy and ask that they coordinate with Indian officials at home to alert them to the need to have insurance if they emigrate to the US?

Thanks all for your valuable suggestion. I will try to work as suggested by you. but My mom don't have green card. Also its our mistake that we didn't take her insurance when she was leaving from India. If any one any have other ideas or suggestion on this matter please share us. Once again thanks to all. Pray to God to get well soon my mom.

It is very important to contact The Consulate General of India in New York City and ask for assistance

anuragsaran123, so sorry to hear about your Mom's medical condition. Once Mom gets out of the hospital and on the road to recovery, have your brother sign her up with a health insurance company. Thank goodness pre-existing conditions are no longer an issue when getting health insurance.

I have a good friend who was born and raised in India and is now a U.S. citizen living here in the States. Whenever her husband's parents come to visit, her husband and his sisters all chip in to purchase them Kaiser health insurance as the parents visits here are usually long. Boy they were glad they did that, as the father was pushing 90 years old and had numerous visits to the hospital and rehab while visiting here.

Contact the Indian Embassy and ask them to help you.

I suggest your brother contact INS to see if there is any help for immigrants; the staff may know of some resources. Also ask the social worker at the hospital. I assume your mother has a green card?

This question has been asked before. Read the posts from this link - they may be of help to you:

Weren't any arrangements made by your brother when your mother emigrated from India?

I'm sure there will be responses from other good people here, but unfortunately your mother's options are limited if she's not a citizen. Sorry.
