RIP MOM and DAD, I LOVE U

I don't have any advices, but wanted to say, I am sorry to hear about your parents. I pray you can still get your surgery...{{{Hugs}}}

I had surgery with Dr. Suh at that facility. I have Kaiser, but there was only a $10 copay for my hospital stay. I'd call Lisa at Dr. Suh's office and ask her, his office manager.  Second choice would be to call billing dept. of hospital about payments of your copay.  Good luck. DAVE

 I'm so sorry for the loss of your parents.  I, too, would recommend talking to the accounting dept at the hospital.  They may have you pay ahead before your surgery for the copay, or set up a payment plan for you.
