040903 - not report results for the cancer marker CA 15-3, nor NEUTS, which is
040904 - ANC for Kaiser, ref SDS 18 FH4H, the next day on 071019 Millie sent a
040905 - letter to Jackie asking for missing diagnostics. ref SDS 19 YA9N

040907 - from Kaiser. ref SDS 19 BS6L

040914 - Sent: 10/22/2007 10:06 AM
040921 - ..
040922 - 2. I'm thinking of returning to work, and wanted to get the CA
040923 - 15-3 and ANC figures from the labs last week on 071017, which
040924 - were performed at Kaiser this time.
040926 - ..
040927 - Millie reported considering returning to work in a letter to UCSF on
040928 - 071019. ref SDS 19 JC6X
040929 -

040940 - ..
040941 - Millie's letter to Kaiser continues...
040942 -
040943 - 3. I decided to try doing blood work at Kaiser because UCSF
040944 - invoices keep saying payment for blood tests at UCSF are
040945 - denied. [Millie's letter to UCSF on 071015, ref SDS 16 KN4F]
040946 - UCSF told us that Medicare pays for blood tests, but that's not
040947 - what their invoices say; so, I decided to experiement to see if
040948 - this makes a difference to solve the billing problem. [Millie's
040949 - letter to UCSF on 071015. ref SDS 16 KH5Q
040951 - ..
040952 - 4. Of course doing blood tests at Kaiser causes problems at UCSF.
040953 - [...reported on 071018, ref SDS 18 6N9F] When I asked Jackie
040954 - for NEUTS at UCSF (ANC at Kaiser) she cited "Neutrophils,"
040955 - which is a percentage, not the composite calculated valuation.
040956 - So, confusion goes on. [Millie's letter to UCSF on 071019,
040957 - ref SDS 19 EU4J, We'll get things organized eventually, but if
040958 - you can submit CA 15-3 and ANC I would be very grateful.
