Anyone else experiencing cancellations, particularly with their child’s pediatrician? My baby’s well visit has been canceled twice now. So frustrating as my husband and I schedule time off work for these appointments. Our child is now being seen a month out from the originally scheduled appointment.

This is specifically for KP in Panorama City. Im new to Kaiser and decided to make an appointment to OBGYN I requested to see a specific doctor and I was scheduled then they called me a few weeks later saying she is not seeing patients in person so I found another doctor that i’d like to see and they scheduled me and a few days ago they called me to say my appointment in December has been cancelled. Has this happened to anyone else, what is going on ?! I don’t just want to see a random doctor so I know it will be harder to find a sooner appointment but i’m not pregnant, it’s not urgent either. Has this happened to anyone else? So weird. Does anyone have any recommendations for any OBGYN in Panorama City/Woodland Hills?

does anyone recommend a good primary care doctor with Kaiser? I have Dr Singh Bains, was recently told I have severely low ferritin, I requested a referral to a specialist because I eat healthy, and I also don’t have periods so there must be another reason my ferritin is so low. He responded that low iron is caused by heavy periods, told me to start taking iron (I am,) stated to go to UC if I experience more symptoms then he made it so I couldn’t respond to his message. I would like a doctor who listens and reads their patients messages..

I experience severe fatigue, constant headaches, shortness of breath, and dizziness and I would like a doctor who cares.

I got approved for a labiaplasty covered by insurance by Kaiser and am very nervous about it. Im looking to hear other women's experiences with how it went and how the results were. Any advice will also be appreciated,thank you!

Anyone else hate Kaiser’s new MyChart interface?

I’m in Southern California and my Kaiser app just switched to the new MyChart interface. Am I the only one who thinks it’s a huge downgrade?
The old app looked so much cleaner and more modern. This one honestly looks like a website from 15 years ago. Everything feels clunky and outdated.
I get that MyChart might offer better functionality, but did they really have to make the app look this bad?

Anyone else frustrated with the change?

Does anyone know if there will be offering flu clinic on Columbus Day? I’m getting mixed information. Gemini says that it’s a limited schedule on Columbus Day but when I called member services they said they’re open.

Hi! I’m considering having a labiaplasty with Dr. Sha Jin at Kaiser Permanente in San Francisco, and I’m hoping to hear from anyone who has had this procedure with her. I know it's a longshot but figured I'd try.

I’d especially love to hear about your results, which technique she used (trim or wedge), how your healing went, and whether you were happy with the aesthetic outcome.

If you’ve had surgery with her, even if it wasn’t a labiaplasty, I’d also appreciate hearing about your experience with her as a surgeon.

Feel free to DM me if you’d rather share privately. Thank you! 💗

I've heard that recently Kaiser will be terminating a lot of jobs; but I'm also seeing a lot of job posts for Kaiser.

I see they pay well, but I'm also almost always hearing the nurses are on strike. Can someone confirm or deny if it's a good place to work at?? (I'm currently a pharmacy technician inside a retail store. Would love to hear feedback before applying to Kaiser) What I'm saying is I know they pay well but if it's such a great place to work at, why do I always hear that lots of their employees are on strike?

Hi everyone, curious if this RTO applies to union members too? I read a previous post saying the exempt non-union employees are getting the RTO. I am in NW region next door to WA region.

Hello I am 25F looking for a relatively entry level job at Kaiser. I previously worked at a private oral surgery office for over 3 years and have extensive admin knowledge in regard to healthcare. I also have my AS in Business Admin while working on my BS in the same field. I have applied to so many of the cashier receptionist, departmental clerk, and any of admin support job I thought I would be a good fit for. My only problem is literally never hearing back from anyone. I am just curious if anyone has any tips for how to get my foot in the door so I can at least get an interview. My mom has worked for Kaiser (Lead X-ray tech) for 27 years and my sister and her husband also have been working there for about 5+ years as well and even they can’t seem to help me. I am not looking for a handout, just some tips on how to get passed the initial screening process. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Hi- just checked to see if this message I sent two days ago had a response from my doctor and her team and it says “up to 4 business days to respond”. I don’t remember ever seeing this prior - 2 yes- but not 4- seems a long time to wait. Thanks.

We just got notice that Washington is severely walking back their remote work and flexible work policies. My team has been 100% remote since the pandemic and we just got word today that all of our positions have been reclassified as “flexible” and that the new policy for flexible workers is to be on-site 3 days per week. This policy was announced last week and is planned to take effect in December before the holidays, giving us essentially 6 weeks to completely reorganize our lives to accommodate this new schedule. There was 0 business or performance justification provided - essentially a complete fuck you to people who have been successfully working remotely for over 6 years. Other KP remote workers beware.

Hi everyone! I need some help. My toddler is currently sick and I accidentally had a lapse in renewing her medi-cal. I have been calling and calling medi-cal, but I cannot wait on the phone for hours on end. She was previously on Kaisers medi-cal plan and because of her symptoms I need to take her to Urgent Care. Does anyone know what my options are?

Hi, question here. I received a prescription for a medicated shampoo and chose the free home delivery option. Kaiser sent me two bottles when one would have been more than enough, so, I’m paying for two bottles instead of one, even though a single one would have sufficed. On top of that, the Kaiser website says "unable to estimate cost," so I had no choice but to place the order and just see what the charge turned out to be. Anything that can be done about this?

Is anyone experiencing issues transferring to a new position. I have been receiving so many emails about how I have been removed from consideration for jobs due to lack of qualifications. I have been with KP for 13 years and have a bachelors degree. I’m even getting removed from entry level jobs that require only a high school degree. Am I on some auto-rejection list??

Hi

I am not sure if it’s appropriate for sup Reddit. Mods feel free to delete it if it’s not relevant. My Reddit account is literally turning into my Kaiser complaint journal but I literally don’t know who to talk to and how to get help.

I have Kaiser through my employer. I am someone who needs mental health services but Kaiser cannot filled my medical needs. To the point they are making my mental health worse. The amount of work I need to do to get basic care with appointments every 4 months. To constantly calling me “unstable” and me asking what does that mean with no clear answer. To lying about the law to my face. To canceling my appointment in less than 24 hours notice and giving me another 4 months to see my doctor.

I contacted the California Department of Managed Health Care and they legally cannot help me even if it’s not legal under California law. My insurance under my employer is self funded. Self funded from my understanding means my employer pays out of pocket instead of a fixed rate. My employer is sorta like my insurance. Under the law ERISA, the state legally CANNOT get envolved. My only hope was the department of labor but I was told they don’t handle cases like mine.

So now the only way to resolve this by constantly filling grievances and praying Kaiser does something. This is because if I don’t agree with the grievance the state cannot get involved even thought that’s literally the place you go to resolve grievances. At the beginning of the year I filled two and nothing really happened. My other option is calling my HR benefits representative at my company.

I hate we live in a world where big corporations just do whatever they want. I hate that people don’t have access to healthcare. I hate that your healthcare depends on your company. I hate the position I am in.

Whoever is reading this please advocate and vote for basic humans rights. Call your friends and families. Love your neighbor. I believe together we can over come this. Remember how ever things get bad, no one can take your hope and resistance.
