Hi @gajokos

May I ask if you were able to access UCSF as a Kaiser member? I was told by Kaiser that I would have to pay out of pocket myself to do anything with UCSD here when I had Kaiser Senior Advantage last year.
I am still learning how my new insurance works and it is a bit confusing. I am able to speak to humans and get answers though, so not too bad so far. If I need to see O/H, I prefer to see an MPN specialist and I am still trying to see if that happen as I was told the insurance I chose 1/1/2026 allows UCSD specialists and UCSD has MON specialists. I am in no rush for that appointment and really like my new primary on my plan as she is very thorough and listens! She did put referrals in for my enlarged right ring finger also and to hematology/ oncology. I could tell she was confused by everything in my chart she read for a very long time from Kaiser. She just did not seem to know exactly where I need to be seen for my plan to cover the charges. I will continue to do my lab work now that I know. I suspect I will need to verify where she sends me to O/H and dermatology too. I am not in a rush as I still feel great, have all my energy, do lots of exercise biking, doing yoga, walking, gardening, and cleaning which is not my favorite form.
Hope you are having a great weekend!
