040904 - ANC for Kaiser, ref SDS 18 FH4H, the next day on 071019 Millie sent a

040906 - Jackie responded that UCSF is waiting to get additional test results
040907 - from Kaiser. ref SDS 19 BS6L
040909 -  ..

040911 - saying...
040912 -
040913 -    1.  Subject:  CA 15-3 and ANC Blood Test 071017
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 -
040930 -            [On 071022 primary care physician at Kaiser reported CA
040931 -            15-3 cancer marker rises to 74; recommends Doctor Rugo at
040932 -            UCSF review considerations returning to work. ref SDS 20

040935 -  ..

040937 - at UCSF on 071018, but did not include CA 15-3 nor ANC (NEUTS at
040938 - UCSF). ref SDS 18 FH4H
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.
040959 -
040960 -            [On 071023 Kaiser submitted CA 15-3 but not ANC,
040961 -            ref SDS 20 HP4L, and omitted part of the blood test report.
040962 -            ref SDS 20 JM41
