Violations of Civil Rights page 39: current medications and addendum to FDA civil rights complaints.submitted with reconsideration to owcp

The only way to prove the non-compliance by Affiliated Computer systems is to send three sets of file reconstruction which is new material since the file has never been shared with Regional office of federal workers compensation. The proof is being mounted as only isolated bits of submissions are being allowed to be seen by the claims examiner. Sharon carter is the latest who has to use gossip and guesswork since the file including the 15 judges and 2 hearing officers at the US dept of Labor remand orders are not made available to the local office. Christina Stark the manager apologized for this months ago which ACS'Xerox doing this in violation of the terms of their contract with the US Dept of Labor has put the lives and livelihood of every federal employee at risk as ACS decides what the official at the US Dept of labor are allowed to see; thus becoming the only decider of fact on a claim. ACS is the govt contractor for many agencies at Federal and state level and do the similar work in many nations. Congress needs to address this and refuses to do so which has put our constitution and civil rights at risk and turned the sovereignty of our nation over to an international conglomerate of which ACS-Xerox is only one company. I have asked for prayers for Lynn Blodgett, their president and CEO who became personally involved in my case over a year ago and contacted Christina Stark. He seems to think that the entire file reconstruction was posted in 2005, yet the case has not been worked as the judges pointed out. This was the second file reconstruction since ACS took over and my felony disappearance of much of file had disappeared and the criminal investigation ceased by contracting out the needed security on claims files to ACS-Xerox who has shirked their duty on my files.
If the items in the file for 1.10/89 through 1/3/99 were worked, then i would be on permanent disability and schedule award paid and all the medical issues accepted, not just the 5 already in file; which the OWCP's regional office is unaware of.
By ACS only sharing a few items from the file and then the regional office trying to overturn permanent medical benefits and judges remand orders is putting my ongoing life sustaining medical care at great risk as it is confusing everyone the sees only the decisions and not the entire file to know that this is the only way to prove contract non compliance so that those complaints can be acted on to make ACS-Xerox and the other named parties at HHS Office of civil rights and US Dept of labor to stop violating the Constitution and my civil rights and the law itself.
                                                             MEDICATIONS
I have been on basically the same regimen of prescription drugs since 1/89. Intal was added by the pulmonologists at Mt Sinai, in NYC in 1991 and Oxygen was added when I got my OWCP back in the mid-90's  as it should have been part of the regimen since 1/10/89 according to current treatment standards.
Nothing can be done to regenerate damaged lungs and without it other organs are put under progressive damage which the oxygen slows the progression. I am currently on 2 liters, which is  a nebulizer substitute for that inflamming machine. I am approved by three health plans for life for compressed air, which liquid is the form now available. Due to ACS blatantly lying and misleading Lincare they  are refusing service, and are the monopoly supplier in my area. Oxygen concentrators and even nebulizer machines emit life threatening inflamming fumes (ozone.)
FDA has discriminated against my minority group of asthmatics and there are no substitutes for life sustaining inhalants which have been and are being taken off the market due to CFC"S used as the propellant harms the ozone layer of the planet. Thanks to my doctors who warned me about this. There have been times when i was faced with possible having no pulomonologist or cardiologist due to the intentional obstruction of medical care by OWCP/ACS,etc. Even telling one pulomonolgst, J. Sabanagan MD that my permanent medical with owcp meant I could only be treated in an emergency run and really had no health coverage at all from any of my three health plans. This is the blatant disregard for the law and life of some of the persons involved with my case over the years.
FDA will not recognize that chemical and toxins can cause life long and deadly physical harm injuries. When drugs are approved there is no warning for us and means the patient calls the pharmaceutical company and asks if the specific chemical that cause toxic pnemonia ( pnemonitus) one of the accepted medical conditions at owcp is in the medicine. They will say yes or no. Usually it is and they say the medicine can't be safely used. One inhalant substitute used ethanol alchohol which is an infflamation trigger since 1/10/89.  Pleas read the detailed medical documentation already in my claims file is ACS will ever share it with you.
I used the last of my Azmacort inhaler, recently. Dr. Stocks, pulmonologist came up with a substitute to transition to. Nasacort has not been made since 2002 so the Azmacort was used in lungs and  the badly damaged upper respiratory sinuses which bleed on exposure to parts per billion of formaldehyde, some phenols, some sulphurs, and ethanol which clinical tests show are the prime triggers. Also see the positive methacholine challenge tests in file. It has been a blatant violation to lie and say they weren't positive which has occurred to sabotage medical care. One pulmonologist, was called and told this before I had even seen him when insurance was checked, then he read the actual  reports and wrote prescriptions but was too  afraid to see me as the 'govt' can be scary to a non-citizen. Many of our good doctors have come to the USA to go to medical school and stayed or have been recruited by large hospitals from other countries to practice in more rural areas. This kind of intimidation and black mail should not go on but is occurring for injury cases according to Federal Blue Cross.Blue shield's own ethical advisers ( fraud contractor) who have since been replaced by the corporate cover upper which is explained in the file.
Every piece of paper submitted goes with some complaint or medical care issue and should be ' inserted' into the corresponding  computer file to be made available to anyone who works my case. This has not occurred. It illustrates the punitive damages and should be corrected by the policy makers, who themselves as federal employees, could fall victim to the same situation as my case documents.

                                             AS NEEDED MEDICATIONS
 dash organic cayenne pepper in warm milk for pain
Milk of magnesia
Psyllium seed
Generic Ceftin 250 or 500 mg for 7 days in case of bacterial sinus infection
In case of extreme pain  as after surgery, etc.) Codeine in tylenol #3 or vicodan
(I only take codeine type pain killers if the pain is so severe I can't sleep) I last took some over a year ago after a tooth extraction) Cayenne pepper is more effective for chronic pain. I often add a dash to food eaten at meal time for chronic pain. or have just used a dash  on tongue.  Plain codeine was prescribed the first year after injury for the intense pain this kind of injury leaves one with 24/7. Tanking a deep breath has been painful since 1/10//89. I have developed a breathing pattern where by i breath shallowly and periodically a deeper breath that can occur with the oxygen. I have not been able to chest breath since 1/10/89. Fortunately I was a trained singer/actress and breathing from the stomach was already learned. Those who survive this kind of injury, often have to be sent to learn this breathing technique. All of this is in the documentation in the files that no one at owcp has been allowed to see to work my case. Also in file are the prescriptions  including the recommendations for the supplements from my doctors. I don't take any supplements, etc. unless a doctor says its OK to try. Then, close monitoring is done for a couple of weeks.
One method of treatment was using calcium blockers, but this caused gastrointestinal ' blocking' and had to be discontinued. There is a CA1, CA2 pending on that with no initial decision- see judges' remands. This is what I cal a secondary/tertiary issue. I tried to reduce the cortisone steroids but this caused breathing difficulties which many doctors ' heard.' That's why cortisone steroid is part of the treatment regimen.  most of the presciptions for 1989-1999 have yet to be processed and paid and ACS's employees were starting to do this and were stopped by their superiors. ALL approved and some isolated bills paid. ACS's staff said they can now access the major pharmacy chains but not for the earlier years. Other ins need to be reimbursed and i need to be paid for the co-pays and deductibles and even redid the bills on the new forms so ACS could process and pay back in 2005. ALL filings have been done timely over the year and resent, resent, resent/...... only to never have the case worked. In my certified letters after 2/09 and before, I suggested taking each year and finishing up the the initial decisions and work forward. I have no doubt that a fair amount for a schedule award(s) and permanent disability would be ' obvious' once my file is worked as ordered and as the law provides. 22 1/2 years is a long time to have no security on files and constantly beg for approved medical care. And file appeals with other health plans so that over payment liabilities are placed with owcp and not me or my estate when those with custody of my files decide to discriminate and deride when I plead for justice and civil rights.

Thanks to the many doctors over the years that have worked with my inflaming sensitivities to certain chemicals and come up with a treatment regimen that proves one with toxic/chemical injuries such as mine no longer  has to die in 5 years.

violations of civil rights page 29: Standing request to Lincare for services

John P. Byrnes CEO
Lincare Holdings, Inc.

Clearwater, Fl. 33764
Dear Sir: the treatment we both have endured at the hands of got officials and their contractors has been unconscionable. However, it got worse when you wouldn't believe what I was trying to tell you. The judges do and on 2/09 said everyone is to ask me for the facts of the case as rumor and gossip is still being strewn  around as facts. I'm approved for life by three health plans: Federal workers compensation, who paid  the company you bought, health connections and the contract with OWCP should be in my files. Then federal blue Cross, Blue Shield who paid you until Illinois Blues took over in OK, TX and NM and posted false info on their computer that owcp was settled and I had retired years earlier. at the same time Affiliated Computer Services, now a Xerox company, took over processing of paper and bills for Federal workers compensation and refused to set up my computer file to this very date. They have 11 years of oxygen invoices that have never been processed because: the computer will pay them and bring them on line with the official US dept of Labor computer that posts my active employment status and permanent medical benefits bi weekly, by contract with Medicare Coordination of benefits, a Group health subsidiary, and The Us dept of Labor. three Medicare judges, including an appellate judge upheld this as accurate on 9/29/2010 case # M09-1406. The 2 ALJ decisions were ignored by MCOB saying: we don't care what a judge says, nor the law nor their contract. There is a 1980's federal workers compensation law that was passed to insure that when life sustaining medical care is in jeopardy, permanent medical could be approved before work issues are resolved. That pertinent info was not shared with my attorney nor I except for a letter received in mid 90's that oxygen tanks they had paid for was to be included in my estate instruction to return them to US Dept of Labor upon my death.
When Cigna Govt services took over  in my area for medicare, they said all your claims and our appeals were thrown away by Palmetto GBA. They have yet to process them. They did approve me for life, paid the claims from the suppler I had for '06-1/08 when you became the monopoly supplier in my area. Rhema said you refused to turn over the contract with US Dept of labor with health Connections that you'd bought out.They  were the only intermediary that sent claims on to Medicare secondary payer recovery to recover from ACS who ignored them and i filed an appeal to try and get enforcement of the laws which medicare has the responsibility to do by law except it was suspended by former Sec of HHS back in the '90's. Illinois blues, has still not processed the co-pays on those claims, although the initial filing was ' dumped onto Medicare.
I have a standing request to your for services. I have tanks and one stop per month should suffice.
Currently, in order to live, my family has had to haul tanks and pay out of pocket. This is truly a ' death panel ' decision and the public should be aware anyone could get injured and have such disparate treatment.
Compounding the problem in '06 was when your manager called ACS and got lied to about my case and told that I'd gotten some big settlement that included your back pay for services. other defamation and slander got spewed around even more. ACS had the appellate judge's orders and files' disappear.'  out of London , Ky where their contract is to post all paper from any source and definitely not be the decider of cases. Nor are they to set up a ' dummy' offline computer file to charge the US dept of labor to process bills and items and respond that some unknown third party is to pay, yet disparately decide the only type of claim not to input is oxygen; knowing full well the ' gig' would be up. it took some ' nice' persons in the Fl call center to tell me the truth claiming the Director of opm 'made  them do it' yet she had no contract with them and was not paying them? This is the entity that  when Arkansas blues was our blues here their manager called me and said OPM asked them to murder me and they paid you. Your local manager seemed unaware of that in 1/06. the terrible thing that was done was that Ill blues took back all payments back to 8/1/00 when I became entitled to part B Medicare when they should have gotten the monies back from ACS. Lying and abuse of power has been rampant.
Compounding the problem was that medicare was not following oxygen guidelines. Sec Tommy Tompkins got them clarified in 2005 and  when i discovered in 2006 that you had never contacted my pulmonologist nor cardiologist to get the medical necessity forms, i had to get them and take them to my doctor who promptly filled them out and said he would have had no problem completing them at the time I first saw him in 1/2004 except each year your employees took the name of my cardiologist and I thought he was completing them. I see that finally Cigna govt services is having training on the guidelines. The are basically no different than in the past except they are more medcially specific. the old ones just said O2 sat rate Or send in medcial records which could be a clerical nightmare in a company as I have witnessed in obtaining doctors records for SSA disability claims. Some have excellent, organized records and others are barely legible which basically required Palmetto GBA to have a doctor on staff to call every doctor that chose to submit records instead of just using a sat rate. In 1/2004 at a cardiopulmonary stress test the technician had me at 70% sat rate before he stopped and then it took the 2 years to get ahold of the tests from the hospital. In this day and age, they didn"t realize that I was not a patient to fear for going too far. Usually doctors stop the tests when the heart starts getting overworked. yes it took a week  to recover, but the results were there that you needed and communications were being thwarted every which way. in TX, technicians are allowed to run the tests.
Palmetto Gba wanted you to leave the diagnosis code off as that triggered owcp paying the bill. when Cigna first try to pay using my secured Medicare number it kicked it out for having primary payers due to the diagnosis code and being oxygen and the official secured records at the US Dept of Labor. This is a very strong and good law that was passed after a scandal of lives lost at the abuse  of power by OPM. now contractors have resumed those ' dirty deeds and lives are in jeopardy.  They used a phony Medicare widow claim number, declaring my husband dead to pay the claims to by pass the security, but did send over to MSPRC who did send out the ignored recovery letter. ( OPM is the entity in charge of all health care plans in USA in 2014.)
My fax number is my phone number. I plan on living a good many more years if medical care is not obstructed.
The new regional office manager at the Dallas  federal workers compensation office is aware  now that she has not had access to my actual records, etc. their phone number is 214-850-2300_. I suggest you call here for clarification as to what to do. Any problems, please keep me informed.No patient should be treated in such a manner. The Sec of Labor has asked for complaints and civil rights to be filed against the contractors when they treat one badly. Its not easy to ' fire' a govt contractor. The state of Mn tried to fire ACS and they counter sued and the state had to pay ACS 7.6 million and they still have the contract. Proof is needed. Ill Blues was 'gotten' by state of Ill medicaid recently for their dumping onto  them for $25 million. Finally the govt is waking up that for profit companies will ' get by' with shenanigans and take more money then is due if they can. Any one harmed needs to file and present evidence so the contractors will either ' straighten up or have their contracts cancelled and get someone else or go back to hiring civil servants to process and pay claims, etc. Linda Joy Adams

violations of civil rights page 29:

Lincare: you are the monopoly supplier in my area. I'm well aware of the shoddy treatment we both have received by govt officials lying  and then govt contractors doing the same. Attached are some pages that have been filed. Please understand that i have a standing request or services form your company. with three health plans approved for life for compressed air oxygen, this should never have occurred. We are having to haul tanks and pay out of pocket at present because of the discriminantory reugaltion that gave you the monopoly in my area. When your employee beleived ACS's lies years ago that I'd received monies to pay you and couldn't get you or anyone to follow medciare guidelines until Sec Tommy Thompkins had them clairfied in 2005. I notice that recently, there is to be traiing on them for the first time with Cigna Govt services. This has been a death panel deicsion for too many including me. Medcial science makes it clear that those injured such as i can live decdes if oxygen is part of the treatment form day one of injury. Unfortunalty this did not occur on 1/10/89 and some organ damage occurred before it coudl bget slowed. When can service be resumed? ACS-Xerox, the US dept of labor contractor has all your bills and has refused to input one of them as the computer willl pay them and bring them o line with the official US dept of labor computer whichshpws perment medcial benfits because of the oxygen due to a 1980's federal workers comp law that was passed becasue of intentiaonl obsturtions by some in hih authoirty abusing powers. I have tanks, just need one stop a month. Ilinois bLues, ttok over when ACS did and they proceeded to dup onto medciare. then they wanted a medcial necessity form completed without the diagnosis code which makde it owcp's bills. Ill Blues has all your claims too and has never answered them either as i filed a rotective fioing as well as all the other taypes of compliants. My phone number is the same as the fax number. I plan to live a lot more years and you are the only supplier in the area. Currently my family is hauling tanks and we are paying out of pocket at great finaincial hardship with three health plans approved for life.
