You could set a steel beam just inside the basement wall right up againist the joists. The beam would need support at each end with stell jacks. I do not think you can just cut out the concrete and get a header beam to fill the hole. You'd need to remove all of the concrete above the opening, cut pockets for the beams end and then pour nw concrete above the window. All of this would require at least tempoarily jacking with a large steel beam.
