How can I get the HMO to send me out of the area to?
UCLA for renal cell carcinoma surgery? I need a doctor that is willing to decide at the time of surgery whether it is best for me to have a partial or radical of the kidney. I am a diabetic.

Depending on your HMO, they may not send you out of the area. The first place I would start is with your primary care physician, to see if he/she can give you a referral. If they can’t you should contact your members services department/representative and see what type of out of area service you are in titled to. If your HMO is thru your job you may want to call your human relations/benefits coordinator.
I have an HMO as well so I know the headaches you are in for and I wish you luck with this.
