A Look Back to the 60’s That Has Meaning in 2017

A novel has just been released that tells the story of who I am and what UCLA Health and University Foot & Ankle Institute has ultimately destroyed.  I had forgotten my legacy for my son and grandchildren, but this novel, Talking 60’s Drive-In Movies by Tom Lisanti has revived that, taking me back to the most important decade of my life – the 1960’s.  

In 1961 I was Miss Hollywood and Miss California, and I worked as an actress and a model.  So suffice to say, my body, especially my legs, was very important to me and indicative as to who I was and the legacy that I carry to this day.  However, my physical body has now changed.  I have lost 55 pounds since I broke my ankle, and due to sciatic nerve damage, and I am no longer the beauty queen on the runway that I once was.

This novel is so precise that it makes me feel like I am looking through the window of a time warp back to my glory days.  The happiest time for me was from 1966-1969.  At that time, I worked as an actress for Columbia Studios on the Matt Helm series, starring Dean Martin.  I then met and married the love of my life Henry Levin, who directed of 2 of the 3 Helm movies, and in1969, our son Tony was born.

I am taken aback by the details Mr. Lisanti has found and included in this novel.  This was a time when our country had changed drastically; with the music of the Beatles, the Viet Nam War, which had created a draft for young men and then tore this country apart, Woodstock, and the Berkeley revolt.  But this novel takes you into the movie theater… movies which served as an escape for not only the population at large, but students especially.  It became a refuge for a few hours. 

Today, 2017 is nothing like the 60’s, but if you want a peak into yesterday, whether you are my age or a teenager, please read this book.  I am very proud to be included in this novel as Jan Watson.

I’ve Made the Case for Fraud Against University Foot & Ankle Institute

On February 13, 2017, I received from Noridian Healthcare Solutions, the appellate contractor for Medicare, a dismiss notice for an untimely appeal by University Foot & Ankle Institute.  This notice was addressed to them with a copy to me on February 6.  University Foot & Ankle Institute double-billed Medicare for the walking boot for $292.  On January 29, 2016, Medicare paid for the boot, as reflected on my bill as Janet H. Winston.  They then 7 months later billed for the same boot, the same date, and in the name of Janet Winston (the name Carole Wells Doheny used) that was denied on August 31, 2016.  These stupid people then appealed the denial on January 11, 2017. 

If you are dealing with legitimate people in accounting, they would know you have to appeal within 4 months, making the last date December 31, 2016.  They have been caught for double billing fraud, using two different people, and why I appealed the second bill was not mine, but for Carole Wells that resulted in the denial on August 31, 2016.  They just didn’t file their appeal on time, so the appellate effort is over.  They have to pay the supplier of the boot $292, repay Medicare for the overpayment of $116.13, and pay me my refund of $61.58, making the total for their greed $469.71. 

This is just the beginning for exposing these criminals from UCLA Health System because Medicare fraud is a federal offense and punishable by time in federal prison – thank GOD!  They should have their Medicare Accreditation revoked.

Should University Foot & Ankle Institute Be Investigated for Prescription Drug Fraud?

After I received the 5^th monthly bill on January 23, 2017 from zip code 48220 in Ferndale, MI for University Foot & Ankle Institute located at 2121 Wilshire Blvd., Santa Monica, CA, I decided to write this blog.  What is the purpose of this harassment and mail fraud after I sent all evidence to Dr. Gary Briskin – head of the office- I owed nothing from November, 2015 to the present.  They owe me the difference of approximately $61.  What is the purpose of the accounting department in Suite 103 since they didn’t send out billing to me, but somebody in Michigan did?  They have 4 chairs in a row before 4 computers and a desk and computer for reception.  That is a lot of equipment for billing Foot & Ankle medical treatment and physical therapy, in addition to an office manager.  I allege they have a prescription hydrocodone drug fraud business.

I speak from my personal experience.  When I was released from Marina Del Rey ER on Feb 7, 2015, I had a prescription for hydrocodone for 16 pills, at $1 per pill, which I got filled at CVS at the hospital, so when I had my surgery, Dr. Jason Morris wrote a prescription for Janet H. Winston for 60 pills.  When my son went to fill it at the CVS on Sepulveda and National in West Los Angeles, the cost for Janet Winston (the name that Carole Wells used) was only .40 cents, when it should have been over $60, with no insurance.

I now allege that Carole Wells used the name as Carole Doheny to invest in as a silent partner and control the accounting department in Suite 103, which UCLA Health may or may not know about because of the Doheny Eye Institute located on campus, and that’s how she got away with so much. 

MEDICARE, I ask you investigate University Foot & Ankle Institute for Fraud & Torture

I received my Medicare Summary Notice on November 7, 2016 informing me you had sent a notice to University Foot & Ankle Institute for an overpayment of $116.13, which I did not have to pay.  The overpayment was for fraud.  This business refuses to refund me $61.58 for the difference between the $400.00 I paid in the months of August, September, October and November of 2015, payments which are not posted to my account and deducted from the balance owed.  This is fraud.

 

I ask you conduct a criminal investigation of this office, located at 2121 Wilshire Boulevard, Suite 101 in Santa Monica, CA.  I now allege they are connected to UCLA Health as part of the UCLA Health system. And not just a business that happens to have an office there (in addition to the many offices they have throughout Southern California).  I was misled, especially since I told Dr. Jason Morris - the doctor who performed my surgery on my ankle - on 2/12/15 BEFORE the surgery that I had a big problem with UCLA Health and that they had performed major cancer surgery on me when I never had cancer and would not have anything to do with them – when he suggested performing my ankle surgery at UCLA where he had privileges.  Therefore, he knew the night before the surgery after I had told him about my BLOG, and had given him the web address to log in and read it, that I wanted nothing to do with UCLA.  He and the supervisor of the office Dr. Gary Briskin intentionally concealed that fact from me.  I allege they conspired to perform the surgery on the 3^rd floor of their office instead of referring me to Saint John’s Medical Center in Santa Monica, so I would not have the ability to INFORM the medical community what UCLA Health had done to me, which I now call TORTURE.  I allege they are responsible for the problems I now have with my Sciatic Nerve (which is damaged), and I have been told by other doctors that “there is no cure for it and the damaged nerves in my foot cannot be repaired.”  I now use a walker, in addition to a cane. 

 

I ask you read my blog for August 9 and September 26, 2016, which explains my total damages in detail.  I believe I was tortured by University Foot & Ankle Institute on purpose because I am a Whistle Blower.

 

I want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and New Year for all of my viewers in 50 countries around the world.  See you in 2017.
