123802 - Doctor Johnson tomorrow...
123803 -
123804 - 1. Thanks for your letter this afternoon, ref SDS 0 VS6O,
123805 - reporting you have received the letter on October 2nd,
123806 - ref DIP 1 0001, asking about a 2nd opinion, with background on
123807 - my condition. ref SDS 6 K138,
123809 - ..
123810 - 2. Earlier today, EJ took registration information, so hopefully,
123811 - if you feel UCSF can help, ref SDS 0 5G7I, all we need is to
123812 - schedule a date for an examination to complement review of the
123813 - record received from Kaiser. ref DIT 1 9Q6F
123815 - ..
123816 - 3. I am meeting my oncologist, Doctor Johnson, tomorrow, and will
123817 - request that Kaiser support review to assist the Kaiser team
123818 - and me in deciding on the course ahead, ref DIT 1 QT7J, as set
123819 - out in the letter to you on October 2.
123821 - ..
123822 - 4. By copy to Doctor Johnson (through the Avastin Protocol nurse,
123823 - Rosalie), I am giving a heads up to prepare for the meeting
123824 - tomorrow, so we can expedite transfer of records, and
123825 - authorizations. ref DIT 1 YV7O We will ask Doctor Johnson and
123826 - his staff to take the lead on coordinating supplemental review
123827 - by UCSF, based on understandings from the meeting on March 18,
123828 - 2004, when Doctor Johnson indicated Kaiser routinely makes
123829 - referrals, and spoke highly of the program at UCSF. ref SDS 1
123830 - AW6M
123832 - ..
123833 - 5. At that time, the doctor recommended deferring a 2nd opinion to
123834 - assess response to the Avastin trial. We now have a record of
123835 - 6 months which makes the case ready for review. ref DIT 1 7I9G

1242 -
124201 - Received ref DRT 2 0001 from Sheridan saying...
124202 -
124203 - 1. hI AGAIN......I only began to review your letter when I
124204 - realized my bus will be coming soon. I wanted to get you SOME
124205 - information to review in the meantime. We do have SOME Kaiser
124206 - referrals and authorizations for treatment. I would guess at
124207 - approximately 2 out of 40....mostly Kaiser does not pay for
124208 - outside referrals when they have oncologist and surgeons within
124209 - the plan. However, please know that if your Dr. Johnson can
124210 - get you a referral authorization through the outside referral
124211 - office at Kaiser we will glad ly accept it as payment and no
124212 - cost to you. ref DRT 2 0001
124214 - ..
124215 - 2. I am attaching some information for you to review, and even the
124216 - registration forms to fill out . I will be back with you
124217 - tomorrow about the actual appointment. You might also want to
124218 - look us over on our website www.ucsfbreastcarecenter.org,

1246 -
124601 - Submitted ref DIT 2 0001 to Sheridan with a copy to Rosalie for
124602 - submission to Doctor Johnson that will enable the doctor to be
124603 - prepared for the meeting tomorrow...
124604 -
124605 - 1. Thanks for timely response in your letter this afternoon.
124606 - ref SDS 0 QY9J By copy to Doctor Johnson (through the Avastin
124607 - Protocol Nurse, Rosalie), we will submit your requirements on
124608 - referrals. Doctor Johnson has indicated a preference for
124609 - working with your team; so I will work with the doctor tomorrow
124610 - on making it happen. ref DIT 2 0001
124612 - ..
124613 - 2. There are strong grounds for a Kaiser referral because Doctor
124614 - Johnson is the Department Chief for oncology, which presents a
124615 - conflict for review by others within Kaiser. I am sure Kaiser
124616 - can make a good faith, competent review, but it is unfair to
124617 - place the staff in a conflicting position. ref DIT 2 C46F
124619 - ..
124620 - 3. Please note that I have treatments on Thursdays and do blood
124621 - work the day before on Wednesday, although lately we have
124622 - experimented with doing same day blood work on Thursdays. In
124623 - any case, suggest scheduling any meetings for Monday, Tuesday
124624 - or Friday. If weekends are an option that would be okay too.
124625 - ref DIT 2 007P
124627 - ..
124628 - 4. I found your web site with Google, which facilitated the
124629 - initial referral. The attached material seems a bit garbled.
124630 - Any chance you can zip the files and resubmit? ref DIT 2 7F7G
124632 - ..
124633 - 5. Thanks again reviewing my case. Hopefully, Doctor Johnson will
124634 - make the referral, and we will be in touch after the meeting at
124635 - 0915 tomorrow. ref DIT 2 009Q
