Hi,

I have Pacificare and they only pay for a hospital in Oakland or Dr. Koura I think it's at Sutter..it's called the Slim Life Center in Sac..since I live in Manteca Sacramento is easier to get around for us but I don't know anything about either of them...thanks for answering and if you do happen to hear any info on Dr. Koura could you pass it on to me, I sure would appreciate it..

Thanks, Starr
