for the sake of you and your health going forward:
RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN AWAY FROM KAISER...
i speak from experience...
when they could not deal with my brain injury, they cancelled my insurance...they were wrong on just about everything while they treated me.
they are ignorant, arrogant, highly paid health care buffons.
i now use another plan and have had all the care i ask for...
Kaiser is a joke for PCS and any brain injury, they simply lack the capacity to care...you are a number, not a person.
Run. Far. Away.
