leave Kaiser for another carrier?

Hello,

I am currently seeking specialists to work with my Father (dx MDS), who has been in and out (but mostly in) the hospital for the last 3 months.

He is being seen at a Kaiser facility, but I am increasingly interested in the specialized services of cancer centers, such as City of Hope or UCLA Cancer Center. Because of his current insurance he is not eligible to receive services at those sites.

I am looking to ask his doctors to send authorization for a second opinion from one of these sites, but am not holding my breath.

Has anyone left their insurance carrier mid treatment for another carrier? If so, what did this do to the premiums and copays? Is this a bad idea?

Would love any insight, friends.

Thank you
