Complaint / Review
Kaiser Permanente
Medicare funds wasted

Was known Kaiser rest service in Penderbrooke Va. For anti snoring

Problems. Kaiser was conscious of age (85 years. Previous) and Medicare benefits. Achieved

T / Greg Carter sometime around September along with a rest research was released.

Overnight sleep research was done at third party service (Rest Med /

Digitrace). Outcomes needed another rest research, that was done in

11 at various service around Washington DC beltway. Outcomes

Needed a 3rd rest research, done again around beltway. Check record was

Study by Dr. Richey @ Kaiser, who created findings of ensure that you sleep-aid

Device was requested. Which was Dec. 7th.in this journey (delayed Oct.),

Company changed insurance in 2010 from Kaiser Permanente to CareFirst

BC/BS efficient 1-1-10.in examining position of purchase later in December, the activities

Started. Device was 1st requested from inappropriate organization. Subsequently device was

Requested from the business which in fact might supply it. Although attempting to

Verify purchase, and standing, Krista Bernier, Medical Manager for Kaiser

At their Penderbrooke Virginia guaranteed me that Kaiser had previously approved this

Recommendation to get a sleep-aid device, also it truly didn’t issue at that

Stage once the machine was requested, before or after January 1. I described my

Problem was when the proper device was requested BEFORE January 1, then there

Ought to be no problems. She reiterated that January 1 meant nothing. After not

Getting something, I then found out the purchase was terminated January 7th, as Kaiser

Requested wrong device. We were informed device requested necessary 50% of

Apnea to become central apnea, however results display ZERO% of apnea is main.

Necessity is just a Medicare necessity that Kaiser must have recognized.

I've no concept of the hows and whys regarding why the equipment was

Terminated, but when a mistake was created, no huge package, when I am not above producing

An error. Exactly what does issue me may be the Medical Manager, Krista Bernier

And Kaisers reaction and perspective after January 1. I named Krista

Bernier and remaining messages every single day to get a week. No reply. Upon

Continuing to contact her, I captured her at her table oneday, and he or she responded

Her telephone. She was rude and brief, declaring she was hectic, and didn't have

Any moment to speak with me. I stated I'd quit several communications, none which

Were delivered. She stated she didn't have occasion for me personally, and after January 1st

There is nothing she might do, and would need to hang-up.

In my opinion that's a text-book description of “TWO CONFRONTED LIER”. How she

Actually advanced to her administration placement is just a secret in my experience. Our greatest

Regret was that my telephone discussion together with her in December weren't observed or

Documented. The one thing worse then my encounter is always to need to function

On her I suppose. This really is my priority / criticism. People like her have

No company in a management situation.

Our second problem or criticism is Kaisers insufficient reaction. I named

People providers many times, named a Tina Brown (criticism detective

T / Kaiser) many times, making communications, but never seen from her.

It's currently 6 months into and we've nothing to repair the anti snoring

Problem. No device, no-test reviews for another doctor to translate, just

Findings which are complicated in my experience and also the new pulmonary physician. Therefore, when I

Had anticipated arrived and went with Medicare spending money on 3 overnight rest

Studies, hours and hours lost operating to and from studies, and we've

NOTHING to exhibit for this. No device, no-test studies to spread to new

Physician. Exactly what a TOTAL WASTE of period, cash, and assets.

Again, sleeping support device was requested December 7th, and we've nothing by

Feb. 16th. Plus recurring demand to obtain rest reports reviews have come

In nothing. Personally I think Kaiser must pay Medicare for whatever these were

Billed for that rest reports, as that point and information was a waste.

Our position in making the effort to create this criticism is that this: 1) To

Acquire CHECK REVIEWS of 3 rest reports so-new doctor may decide his

Own summary. 2) to create to lighting the requirement for Krista Bernier to become

Retrained, and development checked. 3) To inform different customers of the

Kaiser mess in this instance, and waste of Medicare cash, as new

Doctor will need fresh rest research so he is able to ultimately obtain the check information &

Reviews, therefore he is able to create their own summary, and ideally purchase a.
