UNITED STATES SENATOR BARBARA BOXER RESPONSES

I wrote Senator Boxer and asked for a congressional investigation into the fraud within the Medicare system that I experienced with UCLA and all the professionals involved in my medical treatment and surgery in May of 2008.

I receieved a letter from her personally on September 7, 2010 that included two letters she received regarding the investigation. One was from the Office of Clinical Standards and Quality dated August 24, 2010 that was addressed to me, however I NEVER RECEIEVED IT., and the other was from the Centers fro Medicare Services in Seattle, Washington - the heart of this cover-up.

It now appears this should be a criminal investigation for Medicare fraud by the medical professionals who attended me, and the private business known as HSAG in Tampa, Florida. HSAG gathered all the evidence I had against all those involved and shared with them what I had, and discussed how to "edit" their report so that it would appear all involved met the "standard of care" and therefore no action was taken. This fraud has been going on for years and its the "dirty little secret" at least in Los Angeles, in that, a "teaching hospital" such as UCLA would not charge enough money for any law firm to undertake a lawsuit against them when in fact, the law firm would have to pay between $50,000.00 to $100,000.00 for "cost". So UCLA could get away with fraudulent medical treatment and surgeries on Medicare patients, because Medicare pays within one week of billing received, and a company such as HSAG would make sure no professional would be held accountable because they "met the standard of care" with the treatments and surgeries. That is why Medicare is in such trouble.

In addition, I found out from a letter I received from "S.I.", who is the Associate Regional Administrator in Seattle, that a James Randolph Farris, M.D., was the Consortium Administrator in Dallas, Texas... This was a surprise to me. The former Director of Clinical Labs at UCLA fled UCLA for Texas. I did not know until I received this letter that the heart of this cover-up was in Texas as a "consortium" and was not under the jurisdiction of the Office for Civil Rights through Medicare, because they are a "private business" not a Medicare office in Baltimore, Maryland or Washington, D.C.

It's no wonder the medical industry has been getting away with this fraud for years, because it is a "dirty little secret" betweent the medical professionals, law firms in Century City, and the private companies that "investigate" these wrongdoings.
