790901 - Called and asked Bob about compromise proposed in the letter
790902 - yesterday, ref DIP 1 IL6N, to solve payment dispute with UCSF, Kaiser,
790903 - and Medicare? ref SDS 2 UM4P
790905 -  ..
790906 - Bob said that he received the letter dated 070924, ref DIP 1 0001, and
790907 - expressed appreciation for prompt response to his letter for UCSF on
790908 - 070920, ref SDS 2 2A5J, which was reviewed and analysed earlier in the
790909 - day on 070924. ref SDS 2 EZ5J
790911 -  ..
790912 - Bob commented that Millie's account involving UCSF, Kaiser, and
790913 - Medicare presents complex billing issues.
790915 -  ..
790916 - Bob seemed aware from the letter yesterday on 070924 that Millie has
790917 - legitimate concerns in four (4) issues, ref SDS 2 UL5R, that should be
790918 - carefully reviewed in order to ensure her rights are protected as set
790919 - out expressly in the record meeting with Bob at UCSF on 070830.
790920 - ref SDS 1 T94H
790922 -  ..
790923 - Bob indicated that UCSF invoices listing charges for chemotherapy and
790924 - laboratory blood tests, noted in the letter to UCSF on 070924,
790925 - ref SDS 2 UM3V, may be confusing because they do not reflect actual
790926 - charges to the patient.  This explanation today confirms
790927 - understandings from the meeting at UCSF on 070830 when Bob tried to
790928 - explain the invoice for services on 070301, and was unable to find a
790929 - correlation between charges to the patient, and amounts for services
790930 - listed in the UCSF invoice. ref SDS 1 4P8K
790932 -  ..
790933 - Bob said that he gave the letter, ref DIP 1 0001, submitted yesterday
790934 - on 070924, along with other relevant documents to his boss who is
790935 - working to find a solution, and that UCSF will respond to the letter
790936 - yesterday, after completing internal review.
790937 -
790938 -        [On 071001 notified Kaiser that UCSF management is reviewing
790939 -        payment issues, and this could be facilitated by collaboration
790940 -        with Kaiser. ref SDS 3 LE7H
790942 -         ..
790943 -        [On 071009 UCSF notifies patient that UCSF called and asked
790944 -        Kaiser to call and tell the patient that questions about UCSF
790945 -        billings should be sent to Kaiser and not to UCSF. ref SDS 4
