August 24, 2015 – CNA, with the help of Grancell’s law team chicanery, has successfully shifted cost burdens to the State of California, Social Security Administration, and Medicare? Wyndham paid how much for that useless WorkersCompensation policy? Appears to be more like a money-laundering racket.
In May 2015, after multiple appeals, Social Security Disability was awarded, and Medicare established. SSA calculations are apparently like a rat maze based on false and incorrect information repeatedly provided by CNA, along with the Courts “negotiating” rewards to CNA for breaking the law and refusal to pay TTD, even when a Judge told them too. A more indepth blog will be forthcoming….. this will give you a clue of how they set the ‘SHELL GAME’ for your taxpayer dollars up…
Other paperwork falsely alleges CNA paid me and still pays me approximately $4,000/month. Holy Moly! Call the District Attorney. Sounds like grand theft because such funds don’t make it to my bank account. I wonder where they go? Actually, I wonder if the State Controller has a clue on the money that EDD and SSA seem to ‘kick back’ to big companies like CNA aka AMERICAN CASUALTY
FOLLOW THE MONEY…. Vote the Poll, “Dodge the Rads — It’s Dangerous Out There”

Dear Fred:
Thank you for your email of September 23, 2014 with your thoughts on monies paid and terminated TTD. Matrix advised that they did contact you, but have not yet received a response to their request for a copy of the actual termination notice. Can you help now? I have bills due NOW. TOP PRIORITY…..CASH FLOW issues since you have sent any money since July 2014, and you believe there is none due because of the deep discount provided to CNA by the State of California, relinquishing my rights and benefits.
Prioritized points below, 1-7. Thanks. Stress messes with my brain and too many things are coming at me right now. Sorry for the length of this. I also remembered I migh be able to do the housekeeping thing… I have supervised Estate housekeeping staff. More on that below.
Stewart is being mean again, says he is not going to email me anymore, just snail mail. That’s another ADA violation, but he doesn’t care. I have had to keep switching email accounts because Grancell blocked me on this account, so I’ll send him a copy in a bit….not jumping through any more hoops for him. He is tooo mean and he scares me.
Let’s not again burden the State because Wyndham doesn’t like to help injured workers return to work, and wants them kicked to the curb and or dumped into the SSDI and welfare roles. One friend said if Tina wants me to be a Housekeeper as the only way to return to work, then the panel QME with Dr. Holmes will be imperative. Even he might have to call for “light duty” for Orthopedic reasons. Social Security also does not think brain rehabilitation or brain injury is an imediment to selling timeshare. Hard to figure. Here’s more on what a doctor told me in January 2012 regarding possiblities of return to work, if’s and thens:
Wyndham Worldwide, Is there a WIDGET ASSEMBLY department??! http://t.co/HWRyyRPis0 https://askaboutworkerscompgravytrains.com/2013/07/03/wyndham-worldwide-is-there-a-widget-assembly-department/
One of the big take-aways from SCRIPPS was further clarification on how messed up my brain is, and how desperately I need more Speech and Occupational and Vision Therapy to be able to rejoin the work foce. Let’s work together to get me to Coastline….. It seems the cheapest way for you to go…unless you like paying Grancell to torture and terrorism disabled workers, then, I surrender.
Here is a link to some blogs with facts on my case, including denied medical care, failure to reimburse medical miles, and the whole ugly mess. If Steward refuses to send you the file, this may be a quick update, it’s accessible on mobile phones too. https://askaboutworkerscompgravytrains.com/list-of-posts-ask-about-workers-comp-gravy-trains/
Hello Linda,
I’ve received your request and forwarded to our recalculation department for review. Please note that we would need an actual award notice / termination notice from your workers’ compensation carrier indicating you are no longer receiving the $649.41 / wk. As it stands it appears that you continue to receive the $649.41 / wk (2,814.11 per month) and that offset would still apply. Once the overpayment is recovered, you would only be entitled to the $100 per month minimum benefit unless a termination of benefit notice is received on the workers’ compensation carriers’ letterhead. – Matrix
- Please send me and Matrix a copy of the TTD Termination of Benefits document today, please and thank you.
As you can see by the email from Steven Acevedo below, I’m not the only one confused by the complications caused by the CNA refusal to pay TTD the first year, and by the severe discount of my benefits negotiated with the State of California, to my loss of $20,000, and putting me in the position again to rely on public charities and State Funds, that were given to CNA rather than to this injured worker.
Before I get busy with emails on this matter today, will you kindly forward a copy to me today of the actual “termination notice” indicating that you are no longer paying me, effective when and why. As you can see, it appears to even Matrix that yep, you’re still supposed to be and are paying me, so therefore, they are unable to reinstate my LTD benefits.
The people at Matrix and Reliance are always very helpful and responsive. I appreciate your efforts to communicate with me, and I understand that Stewart Reubens has decided to ignore more ADA requests for electronic communications and will just mail things to me when he feels like it. Whatever. It’s noted.
The entire thread is again attached.
- Please request from Stewart Reubens a copy of the summary of unreimbursed medical miles and expenses dating back to January 2012, submitted repeatedly, on paper and electronically.
- Appeal to Scripps obfuscated by again failure to provide evaluating doctor with medical records as submitted on appeal, when it was obvious the first request was submitted with numerous omitted medical records.
- Dr. Hilda Chalgujian agrees with pursuit of continued treatment at SCRIPPS and or at Coastline Cognitive Rehab, which starts October 20, 2014, if I am accepted to the program. More evaluations required. Her RFA is anticipated shortly. COASTLINE MAY BE THE WAY TO GO. DOESN’T LOOK LIKE WE CAN SETTLE UP AND I WILL NOT BE COMFORTABLE WITH ALLOWING MORE HARM TO COME TO ME BECAUSE STEWART DOES LIKE ME OR BECAUSE HE HAS HIS EGO INVOLVED IN HARMING A DISABLED WOMAN.
- Stewart doesn’t want you to authorize any medical treatment, but he wants further evaluations at:
- a) Orthopedic Surgeon – Dr. Holmes – PLEASE ENSURE I HAVE A COPY OF MEDICAL INDEX AND HARD COPY OF RECORDS SENT BEYOND WHAT I ALREADY PROVIDED; PLEASE CONFIRM THAT DR. HOLMES HAS RETAINED ALL THE RECORDS PREVIOUSLY PROVIDED. As it is a pattern of practice for Grancell to send me to appointments without providing the doctors with complete medical evidence, I will be unable to attend the QME unless I have received proper notice of the records submitted, and copies thereof. Otherwise, I am happy to comply with helping another doctor make holiday money with another evaluation.
- b) PLEASE ASK STEWART TO ENSURE I RECEIVE A MILES CHECK FOR THE QME, AS THE ONE SENT PREVIOUSLY WAS EXHAUSTED AS I APPEARED FOR THE APPOINTMENT AS ORDERED BY THE COURT, AND IT HAD BEEN CANCELLED AND NOT REINSTATED. I have full documentation, so Stewart needs to send another check, to my post office, PO BOX 835 YUCCA VALLEY CA 92286
- Stewart does not want you to authorize any brain injury treatment, following the footsteps of Kim Mall of Grancell-Corona, 24 days at SCRIPPS when 3-6 months were requested is hardly compliance with the responsibility of my employer and it’s agents to provide medically necessary treatment. Yet, Stewart wants another neuro-psych evaluation….. to add to the facts provided in 2012 by Dr. Eileen Kang and Dr. Marcel Ponton, and reiterated by Dr. Hilda Chalgujian. Their requests for medical treatment were all ignored, so, here I am. Coastline may be the way to go.
- a) Please ensure that any such neuro-psych eval complies with the law and any such evaluator currently treats TBI in his/her practice. Please know that Matrix is sending me yet another neuro-psych for eval for my long term disability later in month, and practice effect in such exams is common knowledge within that realm of experts. Please ensure CNA is in compliance whatever laws may pertain to repeated testing in hopes of getting better results and being able to further deny medical treatment. I get the question about “What season is it?” right this time of year, and I am doing better at listing the presidents, and identifying what day, month, year it is, and what City and County I am in. I still have challenges with counting from 100 backwards by 7s, and spelling world backwards is hit and miss.
Wow, to think some work comp comp doctors are paid several thousand dollars to adminster those tests, or to supervise a non-licensed person to do so…. Wow, that’s America, huh?
- Steward said he was going to contact Dr. Hilda and Dr. Bergey directly regarding ‘MEDICAL LIMITATIONS’… May I also suggest you re-review the records and statement of Dr. Marcel Ponton, psychologist and QME, and Pasadena treating doctors from April 2012 to December-ish 2012…. It’s in the blog, but here’s a quote, and since none of the recommended treatments happened, there’s little reason to believe anything has changed much on the limitations, huh?
RECORDS REVIEW:
Report to Employer:
Disability or Medical Limitations: (Physician must review employee’s job description and describe disability and/or restrictions from performing this job).
HAS PROBLEMS WITH ATTENTION AND CONCENTRATION WHICH WILL IMPACT ABILITY TO EFFECTIVELY PROCESS COMPLEX CLIENT INFORMATION AND OTHER DATA. Additionally, injured worker has a reactive depression to the conditions and neurobehaviorial symptoms. Medications Taken and Side Effects: N/A
Mitigating Measures or Assistance Devices Utilized and Degree of Effectiveness in Reducing Functional Limitation and Effect of Medical Condition on Major Life Activities, Description of Impact and Duration:
Injured worker needs ongoing psychotherpay and cognitive remediation. Ongoing Rx for neurobehaviorial symptoms as per Physiatrist. Patient has problems with money management at this time, however, is independent with all other ADL’s….. [Physiatrist recommended treatments and further evaluations were never authorized after initial consult. Initial consult did result in non-revocation of driver’s license after unfounded report by neurologist with a specialty in epilepsy and fibromyalgia (neither of which IW suffers from), not TBI, saga for another blog]
State Whether Employee Can Perform the Tasks in the Job Description in light of Medical Condition and identify any applicable restrictions and duration:
#Responsibility – will have difficulties with training and development and remembering information to convey to others…
Knowledge and Skills – patient will have problems tracking with company policies and procedures. Patient may also have problems with organization.
Identify Any Accommodations that Would Enable the Employee to Perform the Tasks that the Employee’s Medical Conditions Precludes from Performing
Modified duty – performing rote and repetitive tasks that do not require major decision making or constant interaction with the public.
See more:
As to the $27,000+, Stewart again reiterated that nothing I say will encourage him to look at the documents I provided in summary to the multiple requests for medical expenses as far back as 2012, medical miles to PTP, co-pay for the EAP directed doctor, treatment requested by physicians and utterly ignored by Grancell attorney Kim Mall which I then self-procured, and she interrupted with threats to the doctors. Is there no law against bullying injured workers?? When I look for the TTD TERMINATION, I will look for the summary again, and send it to you. The Audit Unit has copies, and while Stewart likes to say it’s all about ‘self-procured medical care for disputed body parts’…. the evidence, had he been willing and able to read it, will clearly show that’s not the case. For a fast fact check, see when the last time you paid me for medical miles to Dr. Darren Bergey and Dr. Hilda Chalgujian. Start there, and you’ll see a pattern.
You also mentioned that if SCRIPPS was not authorized for further treatment (which is was not, and again, they refused to review all the medical records I provided, and did not even have the SCRIPPS discharge records… omission of medical records with intent to deny medical care, or just another oooops??) Anyway…you mentioned, local providers you would recommend are at Eisenhower, Loma Linda or Casa Colina, for speech therapy for high level executive functions, vision, occupational and vocational therapies, but you did not provide the names of any such providers. Further, clearly you are unfamiliar with my file, or you would see that I have treated at Casa Colina, their Medical Director, Dave Patterson, organized by Daniel Elliott and Attorney Michael Durich (#2) sent me there for an evaluation and to debunk the request by Dr. Waldman to revoke my driver’s license in April 2012. I went to that appointment expecting a complete evaluation for their Brain Rehabilitation Program, and I got a 15 minute evaluation and Dr. Patterson filled out the DMV papers and said I was cleared to drive. He also referred me to Dr. Eric Ikeda, their Neuro-Optomestrist. I never saw a report on that meeting, I never was sent to Dr. Ikeda by PTP Marcel Ponton, QME, and in fact, only saw Ponton’s side-kick, Dr. Chung, for 4 session of psychotherpay (those may be some of the unreimbursed medical miles, too from 2012, we’ll have to look, it was a 2+ hour drive.) When I requested medical records, I saw there is a notice that I saw Dr. Patterson of Casa Colina in October 2012, which is false. It is a fake part of the medical records index of Ms. Mall. I did, however, self-procured medical evaluation and treatment with Dr. Patterson in April 2013, but alas, he lost my file, never wrote a report, and refused to see me again. However, he did refer me to Dr. Ikeda, wherein I received a prescription for the first treating theraputic lenses, and some Vision Therapy, that Ms. Mall also interrupted. Experts that I have spoken to find it very curious that there is a false notice of a patient meeting with Dr. Patterson, his abrupt loss of my files, failure to provide the promised, and oh yeah, he had recommended me for 3 months at their Brain Injury Rehab place in 2013, and they take work comp. WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THAT??
I will look for and try to finish the schedule of physician request but attorney denied medical treatments since 2012. While Stewart thinks it’s not his job to help me get medical care, and he insists that he and his firm have nothing to do with whether or not I get medically necessary treatments for accepted body parts, including my brain, that just makes me wonder if he is suffering from a brain injury, too, or if it’s genetic.
Anyway, oh oh….. Do you read WorkComp Centeral blog? Guess who they wrote about recently? Yep! Let me know if you want the link….. it’s the one about Work Comp and Baseball….. ahhh, 30 seconds and fame on social media….. I hope that guy, Jack from the LA Times calls you and Stewart for some of his investigative reporting…
He looks like he is unfraid of deep digging….goodness, he even suggested that some LA Police and Firefighters fake work comp injuries. I had to comment that as a Citizen, I suspect they are made to wait and wait and wait for medical care just like the rest of us, while the profits are squeezed as the life is squeezed out of us.
Ok, that’s it for me for now. I think the summarized points brings us up to date. Still on my action list for you is:
- Send you the summarized spreadsheets for the way past due $27,000+
- Keep working on the PROPOSAL FOR SETTLEMENT (dropped to the bottom of the pile with Stewart’s continued bad faith and breach of fiduciary responsiblites)
- Keep trying to make any ally out of you, since your Fraud guys told me that’s the way to go. But golly, I’m insured by you guys, why do I have to try to make an ally out of you. I’m not the enemy. Grancell is.

Hi Steve and Steve…
Do we have any word on the status of my $1800 a month, based on the info below? Bills are do again and I’ve been “holding on” with a hard-core “extend and pretend” strategy since July. I am reaching the panic point again, or went over the edge upon early termination of SCRIPPS care.
Could you kindly let me know when my LTD benefits will resume, and if there is any retroactive money coming to me, and when. If it’s NOT cominig, or there’s an issue, please just let me know. I will be in touch with Advocator to get additional records to them. If they do their job and help me get Social Security approval, I can rest a bit and get treatment subsidized by the State or the Military, whoever is behind the program I just found. Link below.
Bills are due tomorrow. If I know funds are coming, I can enroll in the Coastline Brain Injury program that starts October 20, 2014 (for 1-2 years) and could live frugally and get cognitive rehabilitation if I can count on that $1,800, and they I will fight like hell with CNA after sufficient rehabilitation, in a year or two. They apparently have no intentions of reimbursing my $27K spent for medical care they refused to provide, and they figure the State of California negotiated away my rights and gave them a fat $20K profit, so too bad how sad for me…. Call the Department of Insurance and register another complaint. D’oh.
I need to know what the status of my money is,amounts and when.
I see Dr. Hilda this morning, it would be great if I had a clue about the Matrix/Reliance before my 10:30 appointment with her. She knows I am seeing one of your doctors October 27 for further evaluations. It’s marked on my calendar.
Also, I need to know because I am trying to get accepted into a one-to-two year brain injury treatment program, with or without CNA. There’s no reason for me to believe they will do right now, as they have done such wrong all along, and they interrupted the SCRIPPS Brain Rehabilitation Program. It’s on appeal, and word is expected by the end of the week, on an expedited basis.
(I got a call “from Chicago” 
that suggested I had mis-directed my recent complaints of FRAUD, and suggesting that I make nice with the adjuster and be a little more patient…. 0.0
So I tried it again….with a short sweet polite plea for help to get into the Coastline Community College Acquired Brain Injury Program, a 1-2 year plan, that starts October 20, 2014, and would require that I relocate, or at least having lodging for 5 days a week till I get relocated. Fred said he couldn’t authorize it, but he can submit it if one of my doctors requests it…. My goal is to have two of my doctor request it, and at Coastline, they encouraged me to get “as much of SCRIPPS that I can” before coming to them.

Failing that, it will be full on fighting…

Worst case scenario seems to be I try to return to work and fail, and keeep moving forward. I assured them I am NOT going to Foodbanks so they can collect big checks over my injured body.

Hi Fred, Below is an e-thread with LTD provider regarding income. They need to know if you will be resuming TTD retroactive or the actual dates paid and stopped. I will let Steve Buch know thaat Scripps was terminated but not completed, and is on apppeal and that discharge records are anticipated next week. By the way, what is the reserve on my claim? I don’t have the marbles to sort out the TTD money stuff on top of all else. I am in full survival mode and will be working on that “Proposal for ReSolution” for you and Stewart plus accommodations and interactive process. As you check on the TTD money and calculations, this reference to the letter from Daniel Elliott may shed some light. “And I found a letter from CNA dated 4/21/2014 indicating “Payment for temporary disability is resuming and sent separately for the period starting 02/14/2014 through 4/24/2014 and will continue until you are able to return to work or your medical condition becomes permanent and stationary. Your weekly compensation rate is $649.41 based on your earnings of $1 per week…..” (His calculations are aopparently purposely off and were off-set by EDD for the period they did pay. )….” If you could put
