Justice Department Files Lawsuit Against Louisiana Alleging Violations of the National Voter Registration Act
Justice Department Files Lawsuit Against Louisiana Alleging Violations of the National Voter Registration Act Louisina where my sisiter and brother-in law were denied the right register to vote for the 1960 election as two white persons who wanted to register as republican. There contact with Sen Carlson of kansas was big momentum that led to the civil rights act of 1962 and the votes of Qauchita parishe did not count in 1964 for president as penalty. Hew know the whole story behind the reason we have civil rights and voting rights laws. its not always a racial issue; its about power and what group wants to control it and not share equally as our consitution allows. When they came home to vist that summer, I, still a child got angry and said this is not right and my Dad told them to call Sen. Carlson. My sister did and said: Sen Carrlson wants to see him right now in his Topeka Ks office.

Violations of civil rights page 36: How to comply with 12 judges and 2 hearing officers at owcp?
US Department of Labor
525 S Griffin St. Room 100
Dallas, TX 75202
Attn: Christina Stark Regional office manager:
Received your letter and you seem unaware of the volume that was faxed to your office over the last few weeks since one of your employees said it was OK to do so. The first letter was the reconsideration that stated your office had not done anything judges and hearing officers ordered. sending files to ACS-Xerox in London has been done and redone and you never get the files set up as other claimants files. I need the money to keep on spending money on ink and postage that only results in the files not set up so they can be worked. That's why I filed the civil rights non compliance contract against ACS-Xerox and also listed Medicare coordination of Benefits that routinely breaks their contract agreement and alters the official posting from the US DEPT OF LABOR that shows PERMANENT MEDICAL BENEFITS. there has been a decade old glitch that posts as of the first date of entitlement to Part A Medicare which was in 97, since I tried to work at great physical harm and only made the injures more permanent according to the latest research that has just been published by researchers. I wasn't the one that riffled my file back in '98 so that my owcp and life could be done away with and a billionaire could renew a lease on the work site at 2 journal Square 9TH floor, jersey City NJ SSA-Teleservice center where I was initially injured and OWCP signed me out of in late '89; a lease that did not meet basic fire safety codes for a federal employee or anyone else to be in since there was no stairway to walk down in case of fires since they were locked at all times and one relied on a few members of management to be able to get to them to unlock a door for escape. Lies, gossip, rumor have been floated at great physical and financial expense to me. many of the documents that I've faxed recently had to do with damages and retaliation for what has occurred.
In 2/09, the ECAB judges set aside the wrong info that i hadn't returned to work in 1990 for SSA region II when I did. its not my fault that HHS-SSA refused to complete the necessary paperwork and didn't seem to know I was out getting OWCP wage loss. These are crimes against me and my files. The written, promised reasonable accommodation wasn't complied with either and put me in a continual life-threatening situation. That's what the 'missing' medicals' show. When the file is finally put together so it can be worked, the civil damages are greater from what the continual and felony disappearance of my files since 1990 shows. That's the first time, a claims examiner in Philadelphia's office noticed part of the file had disappeared.
I was informed a few years ago by paralegals in the US attorney's office that my blood and skin samples are key evidence against a ' John Doe" which would be a multiple murder charge now. No witness protection for an injured Federal worker either, when high level people wouldn't ant me to live to testify.
Testimony in Congress was that ACS-XErox is responsible to set up all claims files in a manner so they can be worked. This has never occurred. they have set up some kind of a ' dummy' offline file but it seems to not be available for anyone to read. If a reconstruction is posted for date of reconstruction then a CA-1 file in 2004 would post at the date of reconstruction even though a certified mail proof was attached to show the date received. Also, they are offline of the official US Dept of labor computer file that the judges have had access to and you don't. That's why, as ACS managers have said: they aren't inputting any oxygen claims that have been submitted from suppliers or me over the years as they would be paid as approved under the emergency medical law passed in the 1980's to prevent abuses of power and intentional obstruction of medical care that can be and was life threatening to multiple federal employees then. Dr. Sabangan knew this and argued on my behalf back in 2002; only to be lied to and told it meant I had no medical coverage at all from any source( even Medicare and Federal Blue Cross/Blue Shield ) and could only be treated in an emergency room. At the time, I didn't know ACS had taken over and he seemed to not be aware that he wasn't talking with any US Dept of Labor employees. This is so common for contractors to ' impersonate' federal employees and should stop it. Even, one gentleman that answered you phone in your office was unaware that London Ky address personnel was a private contractor and was shocked when I had to inform him they weren't.
A few months after receiving the 2/09 judges remand order: ( they acknowledged my attorney and sent him a copy; which you should be doing also-more evidence that you don't have my file set up as that would be clearly shown) -I sent you a certified letter at the London Ky address to make arrangements to get my file reconstructed to carry out the judges' orders. there are item back to 1989 that have been remanded and remanded to be done plus the ca1's and ca2's ca2a's that many judges have sent back to have initial processing and these have to be addressed before any permanent disability can be discussed.
When permanent disability involved internal organs, a full assessment can't be addressed separately as all are affected. Future medical care is dependent on each one doing its job in conjugation with the others.
For example, injured and weakened lungs affect the amount of cortisone steroids that's needed and not enough can raise uric acid levels that affect kidneys and fluid back up in the heart, etc.... Took a year to get a nebulizer over everyone needing to know who will pay and its not paid for yet. Dr. Stocks prescribed a saline solution and using a cortisone steroid in it which is a method those receiving chemotherapy often use as I'm on the last Azmacort and the substitute inhalants on the market have caused life threatening reactions. They are not for the kind of asthma, that has been accepted and I have.
This has been an impossible situation. Because there is an active owcp case, my part b premiums on Medicare disappeared out of cyber escrow when some new software was used to pay the $250 stimulus payment a couple of years ago. They didn't code active owcp case. And now I'm caught in the 6 year ' fight' between SSA and medicare as who can work somthing out, when reinstatement of temporary wage loss and withdrawal and repayment of temporary csr payments would solve it all as spousal SSA would be paid and premiums withheld from that back pay. Federal Blues is starting to pay but they should be sending reimbursement requests to owcp which they did and was ignored a few years ago.
ECAB had the civil service papers and knew that they were properly filed for future withdrawal/revocation up on reinstatement. Fed blues is not 'tied to' the US Dept of Labor computer file, why not?
I've lost doctors over the exasperation of their billing people getting sent in circles and I'm filing appeals to get out from under overpayment liabilities and its all happening because of the felony destruction of my paper file in the Dallas federal workers compensation office before ACS took over. My file was at ECAB then and the file had been further destroyed and the first decision wasn't favorable as every letter every document sent in by my attorney had ' disappeared' out of the file. The case was reopened and my attorney recognized, but you aren't. The file was reconstructed and ended up in London Ky ( 35000 pages) with judges clear instructions to work the case and items in file going back to 1989 that had never been processed. I've filed everything, timely and documented fully. yet that file ' left' the office never set up by ACS. The secretary of Labor's associate OK'd faxing to acs in Tallahassee on their 1-800 number to help ally costs of long distance charges. they boxed up the files and sent them to London Ky, and ACS still refused to set up the file.
In 12/06 the Director of OWCP, Mr. Fitzgerald ' found some of the boxes' It was the 4 boxes I spent hundreds of dollars faxing the basic documents and proofs of timely filing to London Ky and they weren't posted but ended up in the custody of Mr Fitzgerald. I don't know where he found them? He sent the paper files to Dallas And Helen Robinson was able to locate more of the files out of the ' federal records center?" and started to work the case; only to have another claims examiner and Francis Mimelo the manager intervene and wrongly say; you didn't return to work in 1990 and back to ECAB we had to go and wait until 2/09 for another remand setting that aside and orders for you' all to ask me for the facts of the case. you won't accept them verbally and that means another file reconstruction. I have not sent the items you should already have; only the recent that was also sent to the 2 civil rights offices. I sent you multiple certified letters asking to make arrangements for a file reconstruction and what order you wanted it in, etc. Any contract would surely have set some parameter for this to be done.
I consider this retaliation for civil rights compliant filings to not make some kind of arrangement. And questions by a recent Congressional committee wanting answers about the process. I don't have thousands of dollars to keep sending files that never get worked and never set up so they can be worked. I'm the victim of multiple crimes on this. And I'm pleading for my life and having to pay monies for medical care that is supposed to be paid for without question. If this isn't the original DEATH PANEL, what is and a manager of Arkansas Blues, when they were our Fed Blues said that a past director of OPM ordered my death. Why me? I went to work one day, as I'd done for 20 years at SSA to do my job and ended up injured for life. The law is clear as to my rights in the matter, the claim was not controverted and one felony after another has been committed against me and my files. isn't it time to stop making me the 'precedent case' for ' how to get rid of an injured federal worker?'
I left phone messages for you and Theresa Davis. Please do not infer anything from them then a plea for my life and begging you to make some kind of arrangements to get this file systematically worked. You have prescriptions and medical bills that have never been paid back to 1989 and other expenses that aren't on the ACS bill portal, either.
How much does it cost to set up one person's file. Any more than setting up dummy files and ' losing' file reconstructions over and over. My suggestion is for ACS to set up some kind of phone number so that faxes can go direct to an email or print out in paper. I called the 850-558-1818 number and was told my file wasn't set up yet and that US Dept of Labor was now setting up computer files. obviously conflicting info is floating around as who, does what? My physical life is being used as a ' footbal' being kicked around and I choose to live and want to get this settled per the judges' orders.
As stated in multiple certified letters since 2/09: where can the files be faxed and in what order do you want them. Start with 1989 as was done in 2005 and mover forward by year which seems to be the most logical as my the disease progressed and discoveries were made or: some other method? I hope some day you will get to see this letter as the others weren't even though the post office verified they were received in London Ky at ACS but never seen nor answered.
Proof of what happens to files is what has occurred recently. You say 2000 pages were received and forwarded to aACS to be scanned in. yet its much more than that. Can you now pull up my file and see all the items I've referred to? Apparently not! i never sent anything during office hours and only did so after being told it was OK by an employee in your office. who should I write or talk with at ACS to make arrangements for the file reconstruction via fax which is the only method I can afford unless Acs wishes to send me money to have files copied and mailed. My family and I don't enjoy spending our evenings faxing files that have already been faxed twice before and thousands of dollars spent over and over reconstructing the same items: bills, out of pocket expenses, judges' orders, hearing officers orders; CA1's, CA2's C2a's. voluminous medical records and other itemss that reflect pain , suffereing and punitive damages against parties causing the problems. If I was to guess what has recently occurred ( from 22+ years of this; I'd surmise that the CA1, CA2 that I sent to your office in early 3/11 on the secondary/tertiary issue finally got to someone at ACS-Xerox and they started making inquires/ obstructions? Who are they talking with-apparently not with you nor with the Director of federal workers compensation who seem to know very little as to what is occurring at ACS?
I'm sending a copy of this to my attorney whom I've already called, the civil rights offices at US Dept of labor who is allowed to investigate impediments to processing which this clearly is and not the merits; and to HHS civil rights to associate with pending civil rights complaints as OwCP is one of my health plans and according to the appellate judge at medicare, which has final authority with multiple plans, should be getting all my bills first, then fed blues. All my bills should either be paid for accepted conditions and those issues pending should be associated with the appropriate claim and paid when accepted and a letter sent to the medical providers/supplier that issue is pending so they can go bill Fed Blues first and Medicare last and they can place in medical subrogation for payment at some future date when the secondary/tertiary issues are approved. Many of these are textbook issues and have been accepted at other federal agencies which is logical that they would be at owcp. A copy of this letter is also being sent to the Secretary of Labor to see if something can be done so that this never happens again to anyone and to the Attorney general of the USA as his staff has asked for a letter. ACS has an obligation to me to set up my files in a reasonable order and give accurate info to providers/ suppliers from the official records and not from gossip and rumor.
Ms. Stark, you said that when Lynn Blodgett the President of ACS came to you last year you could only access an office computer that had not been updated since 1998. when we spoke you had no records of multiple judges' orders, hearing orders, and subsequent voluminous filings available. Didn't he tell you, that the file was never set up when they took over? Did he explain why and who didn't do it? I was told it was the Chief at Employment standards that pled guilty in the Jack Abramoff bribery scandals that said he wouldn't pay to have my files set up when the remand orders listed items back to 1989 to be worked and weren't. ACS got the contract to assure these kind of abuses would never again occur on an injured workers files. ACS treated me disparately in not setting my file up. Can you write me a check that would cover past, present and future medical care, wage loss and leave buy back and loss of use of several internal organs including part of hand, etc and the medically expected losses without the files complete to show why such a large sum is being paid. If your agency is anything like mine, the amount would be require the signature of someone higher than a regional office manager. The third party law suit has been sabotaged that owcp required me to file and the hopes of the taxpayer being reimbursed are dismal. My attorney can do nothing until owcp figures up the damage's and after 22+ years have not done so. Linda Joy Adams-pleading for life and justice.

Violations of civil rights page 32: dear doctor/ recap of why ACS was given the contract
Thank you for seeing me and getting me into a specialist so fast. i started physical therapy as surgery didn't seem to be the best option. My knee is much better. I have exercises to do which the exertion isn't good, but its better than not having use of my left knee. By last Friday different events had occurred that left me sinus problems which went into an infection with a low 99.2 fever at first. Its been a long time since I've had this and didn't recognize the symptoms at first. ( The sinus surgery that I had has greatly helped along with using a very small dab of generic Bactorban ointment 2X's daily, nasally, which I'm getting about out of. too.)I had some generic Ceftin on hand and began taking them Saturday. I don't have a 7 day supply. Would you be able to phone and order a refill.of the generic ceftin? to the Durant walmart? The generic they carry has been tolerated. I have been taking 250 mg 2 x's a day. Within hours of the initial dosage, fever broke and the sinus pressure began to subside. I am taking it easy and keeping away from exposures as much as can be done in this modern world. I was unable to go to physical therapy Friday due to chest pains which rest didn't ease as usually does with a nitro pill which I rarely use. Hopefully, I can get Physical therapy rescheduled to complete and have continued the exercises at home. I do appreciate those at the physical therapy center who have used perfume free products as much as possible; but its still has caused sensitivity problems as its nearly impossible to accommodate someone like me and be open to the general public. Which is exactly why Federal workers compensation sent me home twice since 1/10/1989; the last time in 10/94. ( With file still missing' my claims examiner doesn't know that and I have recontacted Lynn Blodgett, President and CEO of ACS to seen what can be done to get it reconstructed as the last three appellate judges ordered done so the mass chaos and misinformation that has been spewn about by those who either ' don't know' or ' don't want to know" can do as the law and judges have said. A system was set in motion a decade ago that should have left the medical providers out of any pressures in providing good medical care regardless of the ' cause'. ACS was given the contract to post all submissions whether coming from the injured worker or the highest appellate agency judges' panel. no one was to interfere in that being done. The bill was to be sent to DOL for payment and ACS has plenty of lawyers to collect their fees. Too often, in the past, mysteriously claims files would ' disappear' or parts of them in agency offices causing obstructions of rights and medical care and doctors were ' harrassed' or what they should or should not do.
Contracting with ACS was to have stopped all this as long as the patient had some health plan to pay the bills that the doctor accepted such as federal Blue Cross/ Blue shield. Either the doctor could bill ACS direct, or federal blues or other health plan could then ask fro reimbursement from them. There has been a recent memo posted on their site to make sure id9 codes are an the submission. There are 3 primary ones already accepted permanently for occupational asthma, pneumonitis and inhalation of toxic fumes with bronchiospams all related to toxic chemical exposures. My claims examiner Teresa Davis and her manager, Christina Stark don't even know this as the info is in the missing file which was sent once by the appellate judges in 6/04 to set up initially and again by me with the permission of the Sec of Labor's office officials in 2005. Both complete sets have disappeared and I was forced to go back to the appellate judges because , the local OWCP office, again, ( without the file) "mistakenly?" thought I Hadn'tt returned to work in 1990, when I did and resulted in 240 EEOC complaints, and over a dozen union grievances and plus a whistle blower complaints because the very strict reasonable accommodation that had been agreed to , in writing , by my agency Social Security , a Health and Human Services agency at the time; because nothing was done and I was even denied the required right to work with the disability coordinator for the region as is for any handicapped employee to assure reasonable accommodations were provided. The end result was EEOC sanctions, and an admission, in writing, by SSA , that they couldn't provide the accommodations as: they couldn't build a building just for my chemically induced asthma. Claims are still pounding for other body parts that get inflamed too and the rapid progression of harm to other internal organs/ All the while parts of my owcp files were ' going missing' in the Phailadelphia regional office.
After the ' beefed' up security, and a remand order from the appellate judges, progress began to slowly occur to get me out of the increasingly life threatening situation.
At that time, your treating physician was also an agent of the govt. That has been changed which allows doctors to freely treat without having to justify where an injury or occurred. Its a ' protection' for doctors that should have opened up a greater number of doctors willing to treat an injured federal worker.
When I moved to the Dallas region, my owcp file followed me from the security the Philadelphia office had begun to provide on my files, to one with rampant insecurity on files. Soon my file fell victim and four years of my life from 1990 to 1994 were ' gone' in a felony destruction of official govt files and soon I was ' dumped' out with misinformation scattered. Some of my co-workers have died that were also healthy and even younger than me. This is a progressive, debilitating disease, but one can live many years with it if the progression can be slowed as modern medical treatments have been ale to do and compressed air oxygen is a big help in slowing the destruction of other internal organs such as heart, kidneys, etc.
I still contend, that if these treatments had not been denied me and non-exposures to minute chemicals that now inflame and didn't before I might have been able to have sustained some kind of employment for the federal govt. I even took and got an A on a test for a job where i could have reviewed files at home and little additional training would have been needed with my 20+ years with the agency. The agency cited "security' reasons and still does for anyone wishing to work from home. Currently there is a big political debate that's on going in Federal agencies on this. some agencies did do this, but then ones home had to be inspected by OSHA, etc. I would have agreed in order to sustain employment without injury. Granted some exposures would have occurred with some injury, but none like the high level in a modern office environment. A TV series even featured a chemically sensitive lawyer that had his books and files in a clear ' bubble' as he reviewed them. But the physical toil was too great and medically my doctor could not sign for permanent disability until 1996 as it took that long to decide maximum improvement which wasn't enough to return to work. The medical documentation that ACS has withheld from my clams examiner is extensive. and tests rerun in 1999 and 2004 and scince then show that my recovery was not sufficient to send me back to any kind of employment. The US dept of education even waived student loans based on my occupational asthma and extensive records and ruled that not only was employment not an option but so was education and trainig were not physically possible. I had entered seminary as, not being told the truth that this was a progressive disease, had attempted to obtain a different kind of employment away from the modern office environment. I was to have had another semester where I would have had to work as a hospital chaplain. This was the last obstacle to graduation and would have resulted in chemical exposures and injury exacerbations. The seminary accommodated my disability and allowed me to write a report and used my years of experience with the public at SSA and in my church visitations to the sick and hospitalized, in the past; to allow me to fulfill the requirements in 1996. And my diploma in the Spring of '97. They used the medical reports in my workers comp file ( that are missing) to justify this. This is a major, fully accredited, east coast seminary.
Although, I;m not able to accept any paid positions, I can be a prayer warrior, which is an unpaid position.
I'm praying now for the few that have done such terrible wrongs and the others that have been misled and misguided into discrimination, but the physcial and monetary damages can't be prayed away.
Contracting with ACS should have ended the on-going discriminations.
Every Federal employee has the legal right to file for Federal workers compensation and have their files left intact as the merits of their case is reviewed and decided based on law, submissions and the constitution.
Only the US dept of labor, the worker's agency, the workers and representative are to have any say as to what happens with the case, and all parties are to know everything the other parties have before them. No other party or agency is to be interjecting into the process and deciding judges, or hearing officers or claims examiner, etc. decisions should be ignored or usurped. The highest level is the decision. There is a legal process for this and my agency has never controverted the case, nor chose to interject in appealing any decision. There was a couple of times that continuation of pay was started form 1990- 94 and the employer HHS decided that I shouldn't receive cop but wait for owcp to decide on regular wage loss. SSA has agreed to do the leave buy back. To date the formal decision from owcp on the periods of time I tried to work since the first 45 days of continuation of pay ended in 3/89 has yet to be done by owcp, despite multiple appellate orders to do so. For even this, the file is needed that contains the medical documentation, doctors orders, test results, and CA1's, CA2's and CA2a'a in the file. Without the file Ms. Graham, claims examiner tried to do this and has caused more chaos. The file contained these and the judges say them in '04 and mentioned them as never having an initial decision. Agency judges don't have ' contempt of court' powers as do regular courtroom judges. Its expected they be obeyed if not appealed.
If the Continuation of Pay of 6/92 is to stand, then HHS owes me money back. It has yet to arrive.and nether has any amended w-2's forms so amended tax returns can be filed to recoup income taxes paid that were not due. OWCP law overrides everything! What other employer would be allowed to not issue w-2 forms that reflect accurate income?
This is why the judges in 2/09, the highest in the agency said; ask me for the facts of the case. That has not occurred. I wish to present the facts that are clearly defined already in the file and were submitted within the required timely filing dates. The judges, also, said: accept my records that I did return to work in 1990, the ones that went ' missing, over and over' and which sets aside the reason for cessation of wage loss after 1990. The hearing officer did not make me liable for any overpayemtn of the wage loss in 1999. Indications are that what I'd submitted had ' disppaeared' before the hearing officer got the file. As one can see this kind of felony destruction of records when a workers is being discriminated against is horrible. I already had permanent medical benefits awarded as of 1/10/89 that could not be overturned due to felony destruction of records. Remember, in 1994, my records were accepted to start my wage loss and benefits then and that is a precedent. In both 1994 and in 9/89, HHS-SSA refused to complete CA-7's so wage loss could start. In '89, my claims examiner Ms. Rivas, in the New York regional office for the US dept of labor, called and got the info over the phone from my agency that was needed only to have the proper paperwork not completed when I returned to work in 1990 and they started taking out double insurance premiums, as if I was just out on a voluntary leave of absence for personal reasons and I had to submitt info from owcp to show they had withheld it from my wage loss checks. When ones agency disregards ones rights ad refuses to obey the law, then the worker has the right to provide the documentation. I submitted every pay stub, leave slip, and even the EEOC documentations trying to get my agency to complete the CA-7 to certify my leave records over to OWCP. They say they did and OWCP 'lost them.' but didn't send me a copy except for some isolated periods of time. The claims examiners in '09 and Ms. Davis, recently admit they don't have any of the records except for some isolated pages, that are more misleading then helpful; and the proof is they should have them supplied by ACS not discriminating and posting my file, even if it was 35 000 pages the first time in 6/04 when it arrived from the judges with instructions to do things that dated back to 1989 in some instances. That means the entire file is needed.
When Christina Stark called me after Medicare started collections for pay back of the bills they paid ; that their judge ruled were owcp's and are according to the internal dept of labor documents that my claims examiner can't have due to ACS not posting my file- seems incredulous, but Ms. Stark, Graham and Davis admits its not available until ACS sets my file up and inputs the 11 years of oxygen bills which I was recently told would bring my file on line with the official US Dept of labor computer file that posts bi weekly to the the Medicare computer at Medicare's contractor under owcp contract for that never to be altered. There is a ' glitch' as the start date for the injury can only go back as far as my date of entitlement to Medicare which is 2 years and 6 months after the last time I tried to work in 1994 when my family doctor said I would ' die' on the job if I tried to return. That's how bad my physical suffering had become from accommodations not provided in any way and resulted in EEOC sanctions against HHS-SSA. SSA became an independent agency at the time I went out on OWCP the last time. I did settle with SSA, but the complaints against HHS are still legally pending and the new violations by their agency officials and contractors has resulted in 25 new civil rights complaints that include current happenings as retaliations for the EEOC matters against me and family members whose health care plan status is tied to my status on my Federal employee health benefits, which does not receive an official posting form the us dept of labor and has chosen to post whatever they please from whatever unofficial source to ' dump' the bills on to Medicare and even medicaid creating overpayment liabilities that we have to constantly appeal at great physical and financial expense. And most are throwing away.
The ideal of stopping abuses of power by a few individuals who have whatever personal or material reasons to discriminate have not been fully stopped. After years of appeals and discoveries since ACS took over possession of the squirt on my owcp files, there seems to be less security than before.
If 2 US dept of labor contractors had legally and constitutionally complied with the terms of their contracts, the discrimination could not have have occurred as they have and are occurring. ACS is not the decider of fact. They are to process all submissions into an organized computer file that can reasonably be accessed and worked by those with authority to do so.
Their bill payer unit is to be on line and not decide which bills to submit but submit all and use all the diagnosis codes submitted. My current pulmonologist as has the others. have listed the accepted conditions and have run the tests ( missing) to substantiate them and have them listed in their medical records that I have submitted and so have they. In my case, pulmonologists, cardiologists and ear nose and throat doctors are treating the accepted conditions as they and others have done so in the past and been approved. That is a major problem with the file not being set up. Over 3/4ths of bills approved and treatment approved is not on their system, that I first had access to in 1/10 and promptly filed a reconsideration that has yet to be given to my claim examiner and answered. There are multiple ones in file that go unanswered including the repeated certified mail requests for arrangements to be made to get the my file ( facts) submitted so the case can be worked and my life sustianing medical care not be in constant jeopardy which is occurring now. With three health plans approved for life, Lincare , the monopoly supplier, in my area of compressed oxygen is denying service as you all pulled up an offline computer file and told them that some ' third party had given me lots of money including the money to pay them for the 6 years they carried me without pay; after Ill blues took over from Ark blues and decided Medicare should pay my bills based on ' unofficial info' even taking back monies paid to them that should have been recouped from ACS for owcp. It took me until 9/29/2010 to get the appellate judge's order from Medicare that this is owcp's bills.
Medicare Coordination of Benefits has been violating their contract with owcp and although they left the owcp info ( with wrong injury date on system and not expain why its wrong to everyone( injury predates entitlement to Medciare) they proceeded to change my employment status continuously by moving fed blues to secondary so Medicare could pay primary. When Lincare dropped me. Medicare did pay my new supplier, who was forced out of business in 1/08 due to new Medicare regulations that forced small home health agencies out of compressed air service. ( They are now required to hire a respiratory technician for compressed air patients but not concentrator patients) Few can afford to do so for a few patients.) And my HHS civil rights complaints have named this discriminatory regulations. ( Concentrators give off low level ozone fumes that are life threatening to one with my conditions and all three health plans, Medicare, Fed Blues, and OWCP have approorved me for life for the compressed air. My son is hauling tanks from the manufacturer and paying out of pocket for me to live for three years as Iwait for ACS to stop discriminating against me. Until the file is in tact and in front of the cliams examiner , we can't even discuss or point out pages or issues. The local office is forbidden to have any paper due to lack of security. Even the most recent CA1 @CA2 filed on the secondary/tertiary issue this month was receipted in their mailroom and sent on to ACS. ( Found out when mail receipt came back from 525 Griffin St, Dallas, TX and i called to see if mailings could now be seen by cliams examiner. ) No change: faxes, mail, even hand deliveries go to ACS before the claims examiner can do anything about them. (One new employee that ansered the phone last week didn't even know it was going to a contractor. The letterheads indicate that they are the US Dept of Labor and they aren't. ) My claims examiner is not allowed to see it until its posted with the rest of the file. yets bits and peices get through. it would be better for nothing to be posted and then eveyone would know the file wasn't being made avialble at all. ACS doesn't decide what is pertinent for the cliams examiner to see. This is why I stated in my initial reconsideration on the 3/28/11 that it appears the source of what Ms Davis had was from Medicare's collections contractor, a subsidiary of Group Health as is Medicare Coordination of Benefits, also. There is no inactive federal employment under owcp. One is actively employed under owcp jurisdiction until owcp puts one on permanent diability through them Permanet disaibit is done with a schedule award for loss of body parts ( us) and can't reasonably even be decided until all the other issues of what is or is not accepted conditions are finally determined and the treatment meeded. That's why the jump to schedule award is ludicrous and harrassing in context unless the settlement from owcp allows for so much monies to be paid so that all past presentt and future medical care is provided. The current law doesn't provide for this to be done as might occur in a personal injury suit.This is taxpayer monies and bills need to be itemized. There is a buy out option, but it entails a line of credit go to ones Employer group health plan to use to pay bills with, more contracts for all parties to agree to. That's why the processing of all my bills, and issues are so important to my continuing life sustaining medical care. The future amout is predicated on the past expenditures and they are not part of the computer file yet.
When Medicare Coordination of benefits alters the official info from us dept of labor, they allow the legal processes of conditional payments to be circumvented and the us atty's call this misuse of ssn for theft and so do the respective office of inspector generals that have no authority anymore over their contractors. At present, due to current laws nothing can be done criminally, and one patients bills are not enough for attys to take a Case on a contigency basis. Civil rights is the solutions as I am being discriminated against because I am an elderly woman over 40, with documented physical disabilities and whose religious belief is that all life is valuable.
Why is that a religious belief? Its becoming a minority view! Society and those who discrimiate seem to have the belief that when one is old and disabled and no longer able to ' physically work then, like primitive societies, we are to be ' left at the side of the road to die as our life has no value. Our wisdom of years of living have no value. and our ability to pray for others has no meaning since those abilities can't be equated into a paycheck. I personally believe is started with ROE v WADE when the issue of medical necessity for the precdure of abortion to occur was cast aside for freedom to ingnore the issues of life having value itself. .Most of us who believe in all life has value, recognized the choice and medical safety issues and initially didn't realize that it would become so rampant a choice with the societal consequences of the degradation of the value of life.
Too many injured federal workers have lost their lives prematurely over the obstruction of their medical care that hiring ACS to prevent. and having decsions about the liegal staus and legal line up of who pays first in healh care taken out of the hands of the other contractor, Medicare Coordination of Benenfits so that alterations had to be based on official decisions, not phone calls, gossip, rumors or wishful thinking by anyone.
I have tried to obtain a copy of ACS's contract with the us dept of labor for several years with a run around.
I do know that all govt contracts, to be legal, have to include a clause that all laws and the constitution have to be upheld and that includes not discriminating against any person due to their protected status..
There can be no ' secret' deals that usurp this, no can any individual threaten them with loss of contract if they choose to abide by the law, etc. They are to to do the work contracted for all, equallly; and send the bill to the contracting agency. With judges's orders posted clearly for all to see on the computer file, the bill couldn't have gone unpaid. And the ACS employees thought this would occur when they had me redo all the bills back to 1989 on the new forms they were using back in 2005, when the first 35000 pages ' walked out' of their London Ky office unposted in 2004. When the Tallahassee Fla office read the jduges' remand order, I'd provided they had no problem clearly understanding that theirwas work to do back to 1989. Neiter did the US dept of labor employees that agreed to this reconsturction process. Agian London Ky ACS didn't post the file. My extensive and physically exhausting phone calls led me to Horace M. Cooper chief of staff of employement standards who had ordered them to discriminate saying he wouldn't pay them. Last year, he pled guilty in the Jack Abramoff bribery scandal after I had sent my publicly posted letter ( washingtonpost.com) to Lynn Blodgett, President and CEO of ACS. Aftertheir ethics compliants dept did nothing to help many times I begged. He promptly went to the new regional office manager, Christina Stark, who proceeded to check only an office computer file that had not been updated since 1998 when actual pages of a file and letters form judges, etc were not posted. (Its pretty sketchy) doesn't even show reasons for actions. She proceeded to send out a letter based on that and not the 2/09 jduges' orders which caused more confusion and chaos with regard to my medical care. Mr Blodgett didn't inform her that the file wasn't available due to his company, ACS, refusing to post it, according to her.
When she called me in recent months she admitted she had no idea anything had occurred since 1998 on my case and wasn't even aware that Ms. Graham had made a ' chaotic' attempt to send me some monies without the file. That in itself raises a security issue that this could occur off their in -office offline system? What else has been paid? Ms Stark did not see that in 2005, after Sen Inhofe contacted their office, almost $10,000 in travel voucher monies were paid that had been ready for payment since 1998 but were never sent when the four years of my life in the file went missing to justify stopping monies from being paid. ( included the travel money for 1/10/89)was not itemized and more chaos as no one knows what trips were or were not paid or why. The Philadelphia office always itemized expenses, but Dallas had no system in place to do so and the hearing office said they had to get it done.
This illustrates why ACS was hired and MCOB was hired to assure civil rights for the workers and the end of abuses of power by anyone. If Congress wants to replace owcp with something else they can pass the law' but workers compensation laws are a big 'check and balance' item that was passed to insure that employers, even the federal govt take the responsibility to provide a safe work place where the worker should not be injured due to someones negligence or due prudence of care.
Our laws are such that other health plans can pay for medical care until benefits are awarded by workers compensation ; then they are not in the business of just paying for bills that aren't legally the plans.Legally aren't allowed to on govt funded plans. Few of my bills should have to ever been paid by My employer group health plan nor Medicare because of discrimination. I'm an old disabled woman with religious views that values life even if I can no longer work. No one should be able to ' walk all over me because of it and the laws says you can't.
Contracting with ACS was to have stopped all this as long as the patient had some health plan to pay the bills that the doctor accepted such as federal Blue Cross/ Blue shield. Either the doctor could bill ACS direct, or federal blues or other health plan could then ask fro reimbursement from them.

That's how bad my physical suffering had become from accommodations not provided in any way and resulted in EEOC sanctions against HHS-SSA. SSA became an independent agency at the time I went out on OWCP the last time. I did settle with SSA, but the complaints against HHS are still legally pending and the new violations by their agency officials and contractors has resulted in 25 new civil rights complaints that include current happenings as retaliations for the EEOC matters against me and family members whose health care plan status is tied to my status on my Federal employee health benefits, which does not receive an official posting form the us dept of labor and has chosen to post whatever they please from whatever unofficial source to ' dump' the bills on to Medicare and even medicaid creating overpayment liabilities that we have to constantly appeal at great physical and financial expense. And most are throwing away.
The ideal of stopping abuses of power by a few individuals who have whatever personal or material reasons to discriminate have not been fully stopped. After years of appeals and discoveries since ACS took over possession of the squirt on my owcp files, there seems to be less security than before.
If 2 US dept of labor contractors had legally and constitutionally complied with the terms of their contracts, the discrimination could not have have occurred as they have and are occurring. ACS is not the decider of fact. They are to process all submissions into an organized computer file that can reasonably be accessed and worked by those with authority to do so.
Their bill payer unit is to be on line and not decide which bills to submit but submit all and use all the diagnosis codes submitted. My current pulmonologist as has the others. have listed the accepted conditions and have run the tests ( missing) to substantiate them and have them listed in their medical records that I have submitted and so have they. In my case, pulmonologists, cardiologists and ear nose and throat doctors are treating the accepted conditions as they and others have done so in the past and been approved. That is a major problem with the file not being set up. Over 3/4ths of bills approved and treatment approved is not on their system, that I first had access to in 1/10 and promptly filed a reconsideration that has yet to be given to my claim examiner and answered. There are multiple ones in file that go unanswered including the repeated certified mail requests for arrangements to be made to get the my file ( facts) submitted so the case can be worked and my life sustianing medical care not be in constant jeopardy which is occurring now. With three health plans approved for life, Lincare , the monopoly supplier, in my area of compressed oxygen is denying service as you all pulled up an offline computer file and told them that some ' third party had given me lots of money including the money to pay them for the 6 years they carried me without pay; after Ill blues took over from Ark blues and decided Medicare should pay my bills based on ' unofficial info' even taking back monies paid to them that should have been recouped from ACS for owcp. It took me until 9/29/2010 to get the appellate judge's order from Medicare that this is owcp's bills.
Medicare Coordination of Benefits has been violating their contract with owcp and although they left the owcp info ( with wrong injury date on system and not expain why its wrong to everyone( injury predates entitlement to Medciare) they proceeded to change my employment status continuously by moving fed blues to secondary so Medicare could pay primary. When Lincare dropped me. Medicare did pay my new supplier, who was forced out of business in 1/08 due to new Medicare regulations that forced small home health agencies out of compressed air service. ( They are now required to hire a respiratory technician for compressed air patients but not concentrator patients) Few can afford to do so for a few patients.) And my HHS civil rights complaints have named this discriminatory regulations. ( Concentrators give off low level ozone fumes that are life threatening to one with my conditions and all three health plans, Medicare, Fed Blues, and OWCP have approorved me for life for the compressed air. My son is hauling tanks from the manufacturer and paying out of pocket for me to live for three years as Iwait for ACS to stop discriminating against me. Until the file is in tact and in front of the cliams examiner , we can't even discuss or point out pages or issues. The local office is forbidden to have any paper due to lack of security. Even the most recent CA1 @CA2 filed on the secondary/tertiary issue this month was receipted in their mailroom and sent on to ACS. ( Found out when mail receipt came back from 525 Griffin St, Dallas, TX and i called to see if mailings could now be seen by cliams examiner. ) No change: faxes, mail, even hand deliveries go to ACS before the claims examiner can do anything about them. (One new employee that ansered the phone last week didn't even know it was going to a contractor. The letterheads indicate that they are the US Dept of Labor and they aren't. ) My claims examiner is not allowed to see it until its posted with the rest of the file. yets bits and peices get through. it would be better for nothing to be posted and then eveyone would know the file wasn't being made avialble at all. ACS doesn't decide what is pertinent for the cliams examiner to see. This is why I stated in my initial reconsideration on the 3/28/11 that it appears the source of what Ms Davis had was from Medicare's collections contractor, a subsidiary of Group Health as is Medicare Coordination of Benefits, also. There is no inactive federal employment under owcp. One is actively employed under owcp jurisdiction until owcp puts one on permanent diability through them Permanet disaibit is done with a schedule award for loss of body parts ( us) and can't reasonably even be decided until all the other issues of what is or is not accepted conditions are finally determined and the treatment meeded. That's why the jump to schedule award is ludicrous and harrassing in context unless the settlement from owcp allows for so much monies to be paid so that all past presentt and future medical care is provided. The current law doesn't provide for this to be done as might occur in a personal injury suit.This is taxpayer monies and bills need to be itemized. There is a buy out option, but it entails a line of credit go to ones Employer group health plan to use to pay bills with, more contracts for all parties to agree to. That's why the processing of all my bills, and issues are so important to my continuing life sustaining medical care. The future amout is predicated on the past expenditures and they are not part of the computer file yet.
When Medicare Coordination of benefits alters the official info from us dept of labor, they allow the legal processes of conditional payments to be circumvented and the us atty's call this misuse of ssn for theft and so do the respective office of inspector generals that have no authority anymore over their contractors. At present, due to current laws nothing can be done criminally, and one patients bills are not enough for attys to take a Case on a contigency basis. Civil rights is the solutions as I am being discriminated against because I am an elderly woman over 40, with documented physical disabilities and whose religious belief is that all life is valuable.
Why is that a religious belief? Its becoming a minority view! Society and those who discrimiate seem to have the belief that when one is old and disabled and no longer able to ' physically work then, like primitive societies, we are to be ' left at the side of the road to die as our life has no value. Our wisdom of years of living have no value. and our ability to pray for others has no meaning since those abilities can't be equated into a paycheck. I personally believe is started with ROE v WADE when the issue of medical necessity for the precdure of abortion to occur was cast aside for freedom to ingnore the issues of life having value itself. .Most of us who believe in all life has value, recognized the choice and medical safety issues and initially didn't realize that it would become so rampant a choice with the societal consequences of the degradation of the value of life.
Too many injured federal workers have lost their lives prematurely over the obstruction of their medical care that hiring ACS to prevent. and having decsions about the liegal staus and legal line up of who pays first in healh care taken out of the hands of the other contractor, Medicare Coordination of Benenfits so that alterations had to be based on official decisions, not phone calls, gossip, rumors or wishful thinking by anyone.
I have tried to obtain a copy of ACS's contract with the us dept of labor for several years with a run around.
I do know that all govt contracts, to be legal, have to include a clause that all laws and the constitution have to be upheld and that includes not discriminating against any person due to their protected status..
There can be no ' secret' deals that usurp this, no can any individual threaten them with loss of contract if they choose to abide by the law, etc. They are to to do the work contracted for all, equallly; and send the bill to the contracting agency. With judges's orders posted clearly for all to see on the computer file, the bill couldn't have gone unpaid. And the ACS employees thought this would occur when they had me redo all the bills back to 1989 on the new forms they were using back in 2005, when the first 35000 pages ' walked out' of their London Ky office unposted in 2004. When the Tallahassee Fla office read the jduges' remand order, I'd provided they had no problem clearly understanding that theirwas work to do back to 1989. Neiter did the US dept of labor employees that agreed to this reconsturction process. Agian London Ky ACS didn't post the file. My extensive and physically exhausting phone calls led me to Horace M. Cooper chief of staff of employement standards who had ordered them to discriminate saying he wouldn't pay them. Last year, he pled guilty in the Jack Abramoff bribery scandal after I had sent my publicly posted letter ( washingtonpost.com) to Lynn Blodgett, President and CEO of ACS. Aftertheir ethics compliants dept did nothing to help many times I begged. He promptly went to the new regional office manager, Christina Stark, who proceeded to check only an office computer file that had not been updated since 1998 when actual pages of a file and letters form judges, etc were not posted. (Its pretty sketchy) doesn't even show reasons for actions. She proceeded to send out a letter based on that and not the 2/09 jduges' orders which caused more confusion and chaos with regard to my medical care. Mr Blodgett didn't inform her that the file wasn't available due to his company, ACS, refusing to post it, according to her.
When she called me in recent months she admitted she had no idea anything had occurred since 1998 on my case and wasn't even aware that Ms. Graham had made a ' chaotic' attempt to send me some monies without the file. That in itself raises a security issue that this could occur off their in -office offline system? What else has been paid? Ms Stark did not see that in 2005, after Sen Inhofe contacted their office, almost $10,000 in travel voucher monies were paid that had been ready for payment since 1998 but were never sent when the four years of my life in the file went missing to justify stopping monies from being paid. ( included the travel money for 1/10/89)was not itemized and more chaos as no one knows what trips were or were not paid or why. The Philadelphia office always itemized expenses, but Dallas had no system in place to do so and the hearing office said they had to get it done.
This illustrates why ACS was hired and MCOB was hired to assure civil rights for the workers and the end of abuses of power by anyone. If Congress wants to replace owcp with something else they can pass the law' but workers compensation laws are a big 'check and balance' item that was passed to insure that employers, even the federal govt take the responsibility to provide a safe work place where the worker should not be injured due to someones negligence or due prudence of care.
Our laws are such that other health plans can pay for medical care until benefits are awarded by workers compensation ; then they are not in the business of just paying for bills that aren't legally the plans.Legally aren't allowed to on govt funded plans. Few of my bills should have to ever been paid by My employer group health plan nor Medicare because of discrimination. I'm an old disabled woman with religious views that values life even if I can no longer work. No one should be able to ' walk all over me because of it and the laws says you can't.

violations of civil rights page 30: DOL,HHS,DOJ,OPM new documents not mailed or faxed
Various filings against named parties are the same parties in multiple agencies. It seem no agency has any oversight control of their contractors and a handful of abusive high level officials. In some cases, wrong information left behind by prior officials seems to still be passed around as factual information. The appellate judges at the US dept of labor said it best in 2/09: ask me for the facts of the case. So many files are ' missing' and no one seems to have a clue as tho what is occurring. What is happening is my life and livelihood have been and are at constant risk because terms of contracts, the laws and judges are blatantly ignored. And the more time that passes, the bigger the back log of items to be processed so that all my bills are paid by the proper party in the proper amount. ACS won't input 11 years of oxygen claims because they will be paid as they used to be. Politicians are made fun of for mentioning ' death panels.' Isn't this one? When my id and claims info were stolen by a contractor, why wasn't this shut down, or at least some official send me a letter that no liability against me or my estate would exist because the govt itself can't stop thefts by their own contractors , facilitated by Medicare coordination of benefits violating their contracts with CMS, and US Dept of Labor and altering the official filings, which the prior general counsel of OPM and US Dept of Labor officials said was accurate and not to be altered, yet ' everyone' could have it altered to cause harm and theft.
Why has no medical provider/supplier been allowed to know whom to bill for payment in a decade as when they try to find out , the very party that give out the wrong info are stealing, and having the official records altered so they can do so; when there is a legal option that give HHS the authority to straighten this out in a very short time by collections form the primary payers. Instead, HHS officials, ' disappear civil rights complaints, and make fun of me that I want medicare to enforce its own laws and go get the monies back from the responsible parties. How does one 'collect' from another agency's contractor who refuses to carry out the law. Why can't OPM control their own contractors, either?
Where is the protection of my official govt files, and information in the custody of various officials and their contractors? They say, Congress won't let us! But no warnings are given to the contractors to shape up or you lose your contract.
Why the retaliation when I beg and plead for discrimination and disparate treatment to stop so that life and livelihood are in jeopardy.
For 22+ years, since injured, there has been no security on any got file. As soon as the law, judges, hearing officers orders get started to be carried out on a non- controverted, established case; the files disappear. Even EEOC sanctions against HHS were ignored. Now the retaliations are even worse as i beg for justice.
The worse was then trying to wipe out 4 years of my life, when i tried over and over to work at great physical peril to my life which resulted in the EEOC sanctions; so that a billions landlord could renew his lucrative lease on a work site that didn't meet federal firs safety codes from the first day we reported to work in 7/88 and although our life-taking injuries weren't from fire, ho knows what would have happened if locked doors could have been open to provide ventilation? In recent years, more employees have been injured as those responsibility for safety precautions seemed to ignore their duties to oversee those govt contractors. and land lords.
The intentional disappearance of four years of work and medical documentation resulted in loss of wage loss as officials could claims: you never returned to work in 1990, and you shouldn't have any benefits. This has been corrected in appeals numerous times only to have the reviewed documentation- ' disappears ' in the custody of ACS. ACS was given the contract to assure the security of files that wasn't available in the Federal offices. The appellate judges decision of 2/09 affirming that I did return to work in 1990 and setting aside the erroneous decision again, and again made no sense to the dallas regional office who had no idea that was the reason wage loss stopped. Yet the medical benefits never ceased due to a strong law passed in the '90's to prevent this kind of abuse of power putting injured federal workers lives in danger.
over 2 years later, no one has contacted me, except for the new regional office manager, to say her office computer file hadn't been updated since 1998. Why? when ACS is hired to treat everyone equally before the law and post all files, even on the ' older' ones. Others with 'older files' are getting their benefits,aren't they?
ACS , however, could spend OK taxpayers monies to set up $0 balance ATM cards for us when no monthly checks were obviously not due based on an all purpose form filed with our County in order to get a denial letter to prove I couldn't get help to pay part B medicare premiums. and a HIPPAA reaeust to prive that federal official s and contractors had used state monies to cause ' harrassment' based on false reports. As far as I know, they are still getting paid for the last 2 years to maintain them and state monies are still being spent under false pretenses at the behest of the offending parties when the state claims they can do nothing agiastt the fed govt' officials and their contractors.
The same parties, show up in discriminatory and disparate treatment in multiple places. Group Health has the subsidiaries of Medicare coordination of benefits, Medicare secondary payer recovery unit ( they ordered them to not collect after letters were sent to OWCP in '05, 07,08. and none to Fed Blues the other primary for myself and family who are caught up in this in trying to get medical care since qualifying for Medicare. And the fraudulent National Health insurance data base created by offending parties altering what the doctors sent in on claims and used too often for medical histories costing obstruction of even emergency medcial care and placing life in jeopardy more than once as it should be reliable if not for offenses by the parries in charge.
I have gone ' public' and several summaries of events are attached. Every medical service date starts a new round of violations.
My files are as complex and convoluted as the international conglomerates that we have named as offenders.
It appears only Sec of Labor Solis has addressed the issue and publicly encourgaged complaints of civil rights to be filed against their contractors. Medicare's is part of HHS and they don't know where one can file a complaints, although their general counsel has said contractors can be investigated for civil rights violations, then why won't they do so in the Dallas region- which resulted in some high level regional officials being named in the complaints.
No one has gotten back to me and my family is still hauling oxygen tanks to the mfg and we are paying out of pocket so I can live, because of the direct lies and misinformation that has been spewed about and the discriminatory regulations that have created monopoly suppliers. ACS has continually lied to medical providers and inferred that I got some humongous settlement monies to pay everyone and Lincare believed them over me and has created endangerment of life and horrible financiial hardship. Other medcial care is continually thwarted as payment is expected for services supplied within a resonable time.
I have no monies to pay to copy and mail. I've written and met every filing date on time. Only to have files and filings disappear, over and over. I am paying a flat rate for long distance and have a higher speed fax machine. You can't blame me for choosing to live and filing papers everywhere possible for enforcements of laws and jduges' rulings that they can't enforce. If govt contractors are going to run this country then all our elected officials might as well go home along with the civil service and big business will run things for profits and no civil rights will exist for any one of us that find themselves disabled, elderly, or a member of minority group. Only those able to be slaves for profit for the few who amass more and more power and wealth will be allowed to eke out a meager existence at the whim of a few. That's not the Constitutional. rights our forefathers fought so hard to have for all of us. The inalienable right to live has been my foremost goal and that means having the best health care not obstructed and monies awarded paid to provide for myself and family not be constantly interfered with. I tried to work at great peril with promised accommodations ignored and no right to work with the regional disability person to make sure i wasn't at physical risk. The missing medical records how 4 years of one continuous asthma attack with constant derision and ridicule by superiors who only got worse as each co-worker lost their battle for life. In 6/68 I chose to become a civil servant and expected the dignity of the right of life and wages paid as agreed to by law and Congress. This has not occurred.

Medicare secondary recovery unit: Fax: 405-869-3309 Issues on death panel decision from OPM.
Have you been reimbursed by ACS-Xerox, the contractor for the Us dept of Labor for Federal workers compensation for the medical bills related to my accepted medical conditions for my 1/10/89 injury? In '05 and in '07, using the national health insurance data base you located many of my pulmonologists, cardiologists, ear, nose and throat and family doctors that had treated me for those conditions. You also, received as a conditional payment referral from Cigna Govt services, my paid oxygen claims. ACS- Xerox has refused to ever set my file and input 11 years of oxygen invoices which is the reason i was awarded permanent medical benefits over 15 years ago , effective 1/10/89. You don't show the date of injury ans this confuses many medical providers who often call and ACS call center had no info as file off line. There are also pending secondary/tertiary claims, timely filed and never reviewed on kidney disease, cataracts, steroid side effects, gastroenterology, skin, etc. All medical bills are for either accepted conditions as of 1/10/89 or are pending with no initial review in defiance of 6 DOL judges who said ask me for the facts of the case.

Violations of civil rights page 19: explanation of organization of filings
There are multiple offending parties named. many of these are the same for multiple filings with multiple partners plus they are interlocked with some of the other offending partners. Some call this a " shadow govt." It is the govt's contractors who have been permitted to violate civil and human rights and break laws and in some blatant cases; steal the tax payers monies and creating overpayment liabilities against innocent parties who should be able to get a letter of wavier for being ' against equity and good conscience' and not one based on hardship due to the fact that Congress has blocked anyone from stopping the violations, even forbidding internal audits anymore. When a govt tries to cancel a contract, they can be sued by the violating contractor unless there is strong proof. This recently occurred in Mn and the state lost. So far the only agency that seems to have an office of contract compliance compliant dept for the harmed person to file with is the US dept of Labor. General Counsel for Medicare and officials in the Justice dept have researched this out and we have a unique set of laws in our states and federal govt that allows for a civil rights investigator to do an internal 'audit'. We are in the protected classes we, three, are filing. Doyle @ Linda Joy Adams

If you didn't code this that way then it would be federal workers compensations bills as claims are filed as secodnary issues for the permanently accepted conditions. I've advised you to call The Regional office manager in Dallas for federal workers compensation as to her progress in getting Affilitated Computer services to get my coumputer file set up in compliance with my permanet medcial beneftis at owcp that posts bi-weekly to the medciare computer and what to do with current and past claims after she called me recently.
Why is this preventative care?: Even though some injury related problems can ' show up on the tests'; these tests are well known to detect conditions that I don't have and catch them early such as breast cancer, etc. and are the reason that they are part of the preventative care contract with FEHB. Medicare always second.
HIPPAA REQUEST: I want copies of exact claims sent to OWCP, Federal Blues and Medicare and a written recap summary of why these tests were not billed under the preventative care. I don't see the claims listed on the ACS-billing system at owcp at all. No response to request on bills paid 17 times each by Medicare back to 1/1/06 and that you did not get the 16 extra pays. Refer to notices and requests to you.

Violations of Civil Rights Page 3
480-389-2729 / 4803892729: "- Sent using Google Toolbar" By not setting up the computer file correctly and obstructing the remand orders of judges, this is the result. See the attached response to a collection phone call. because some medical billing agency was persuaded to ignore the law and orders and violate govt contracts by false info spewed around. My husband's medical bills are obstructed as my OWCP status determines who pays first on his bills which is legally my Federal Blue Cross/Blue Shield group health plan. The local office can't work the case properly until ACS set the computer file up properly which has never occurred. When judges rule; they have no idea what the judges are referring to nor the import of the ruling as the file doesn't reflect it as a response to prior decisions. Any other bills its claimed my husband owes could surely be paid from his portion of the back wage loss which the 2/09 remand from the highest appellate judges at US Dept of Labor should have resulted in all back temporary wage loss paid and other expenses reimbursed currently plus negotiations under way if not completed on permanent disability and schedule award. Most important, the constant obstruction of life -sustaining medical treatment would have ceased.

BILLING: Page 3
Those who have tried to 'persuade' billing personnel to circimvent the legal line-up as payments might be made faster; have often found themselves caught in a convoluted processed that has only caused a prolonged problem, underpayments in the amount paid and overpayment liablities when Medicare has paid primary. Lest one forget: Medicare officials don't make decisions on workers comp claims. One, documnted filing, shows that a high level CMS official told a billing party to ignore the OWCP claims that had just been filed on a new secondary issue.My attorney has always advised me that if a doctor refers to a condition as related to the accepted case; file a claim on any new diagnosis or related condition. Too many billing personnel have been badly 'led astray' on whom to bill. Even the Medicare computer is only accurate @ 10 minutes every 2 weeks and then is illegally altered by the contractor that maintains it and get the official posting form US Dept of Labor. "Everyone has had it altered" including Federal Blues, Vangent ( 1-800-Medicare), OPM, and CMS officials. None of whom has access to the official records. Too often, billing personnel have been erroneously advised to use a phony claim number to circumvent the Medicare billing computer. SSA and the FTC have tried to get them to shut the use of phony claim numbers down for years as its: misuse of ssn for 'theft.' Yes, high level officials have actually advocated 'theft.' And criminal investigators are currently assigned as in 8/08, the 'local' claims processors started turning each claim into 17 and I have no evidence that any provider got and cashed the extra checks, yet the offline, hidden computer system shows they did. A System they ae not to be using and is hidden from even the contract auditors. The initial pays were for every bill back at least to 1/06 and the total by stealing my cliams and ID are @$4 million. I'm asking every large provider for assisstance on a false claims act as 500 witnesses state this is not just on my records and a large

How I Believe The Dollar Will Die By Ray Gano
How I Believe The Dollar Will Die By Ray Gano My response to the article!In my opinion as soon as I could take a visa, master card, etc. to any nation on this planet and make a purchase or get money in the currency of the country I was in- we had a one world currency as a common source of monetary exchange was created. Now we have the 'one world economic beast system controlled by a few wealthy and powerful that have taken control of our very lives and has created a system in which the anti-Christ can one day walk in and rule very unawares until he starts making decisions that are obviously more evil than anything the world has ever known/ This is why I, personally, am Not opposed to a world government that is founded on the will of and dignity of the individual and the sovereign rights of nations. Much like the USA constitution has sovereign states and only a few powers are to have federal jurisdiction. Even here in recent times, the power grab by the feds has not been stopped by the states and that is because 'we the people' have become apathetic and don't even bother to vote or participate in the most fundamental governing power; the right of one vote per person. If 95% would vote for 10 years, I have faith we could return the power to the people and wrench it back from the few monied interests that are abusing the powers they currently hold. The other 5% includes those with a dire emergency on election day or have a conscientious objection to participating. For the later, I say please pray that the 95% make the right selections. ( When the atom was split, and a few individuals with access to powerful bombs could annihilate all of us; we had a need to gather together as a world people and stop the evils.) The UN was an attempt but doesn't have a constitution like the USA's as power was vested in the winners of a world war. Many will disagree. But our Congress has passed laws where the entire government's business is being contracted out to these international conglomerates and we have no right to ask for internal audits of how they spend our taxpayer dollars, nor can any federal agency investigate wrong doings and refer for criminal prosecutions. Civil Rights is still a viable option , but agencies won't even docket in complaints and have stopped any kin of investigations or appeal processes and few can afford legal help to go to court as one top atty said: $2 1/2 million to bring a false claims civil suit which may recover the 'stolen monies' but often records are sealed and since no crime is on record- more contracts and our monies are given to the same entities who may only set up another subsidiary to gain access. Even our mighty USA has become powerless against this 'monster' unless the peoples of the world stop fighting with each other and join in creating a world peace where the individuals dignity and inalienable rights are respected.
