Kaiser permenente in fontana calif said they will not let me see an infectious disease specialist even though my regular md said I should see one. The reason was, they said it was denied because of it was probably a false positive from Igenex due to the refrence article in the new england medical journal. That was all they gave me. I have no idea what was said in this article. anyone heard of anything. It must be pretty bad that they can outright refuse to see me and base it on this article. I cant believe this. I will write the address in my next post and maybe everyone can write them a letter about how they are being treated and how there symptoms are and what you feel about them. It might help to change things. I dont know. Im so outraged its not even funny. I will see what I can do legally. Its pathetic with our heath care system in the united states. We really need some huge change. Till next time. any input???

Oh, they've been doing this for a while. I tried going head-to-head with an infectious disease specialist at kaiser re: my mom's lyme, and got absolutely nowhere. Same old party line, refusing to do any testing or even listen to her symptoms, etc.
Kaiser is pretty impervious to any actions to the contrary, sadly.
