Just want to let you know that I have successfully won the appeal against
Kaiser. This means that a 47 year old man with a liposarcoma who never got
the right care from the beginning and who was told to go home on hospice
will now be entitled to surgery. While he knows this will not be a curative
surgery, it will potentially give him a chance to prolong his life and he
wanted this chance. Either Kaiser will have to find a qualified surgical
oncologist to perform the surgery or they will pay for him to have the
surgery at Cedars-Sinai. He will see the Kaiser doctor on Jan. 2 and if he
does not agree is set up for a Cedars pre-op visit for the 6th of January!
Please know your rights and fight for them. Happy New Year-with all my
heart I hope your prayers will be answered this year!

People do win Kaiser Appeal!
Re: People do win Kaiser Appeal!
Thank you Olga !
I said it before and I will say it again we are all worth the fight to be able to live to see another day
Surgery can and will give ASPS PATIENTS that opportunity It's a shame we have to beg for complete care from our health insurance companies at times but we aren't the only ones. We are not alone
God bless the folks that are advocating for our rights!
Below is a link to the California insurance consumer section for people to appeal to when not being treated fairly by a panel of medical professionals representing an insurance company .
