I have been diagnosed with hypoparathyroidism and need surgery.  

I've read Dr. Norman's voluminous information  as well as Dr. Yeh's website at UCLA and also the UCSF Parathyroid Clinic website info (Dr. Shen).

I have Kaiser Permanente Senior Advantage (Medicare) in Northern California.  I am convinced it would not be good to  have surgery at Kaisder.  

Does anyone know how I can persuade/justify Kaiser to refer me to UCLA (preferably) or to UCSF for this surgery?
