Heres my experience with UCLA Radiation Oncology; draw your own conclusions. My mother was diagnosed with a Stage 4 brain tumor in June 2016. We lived in Las Vegas, but I was desperate to get a second opinion at the illustrious UCLA Medical Center. I wrote a detailed letter to Dr. Tania Kaprealian and included MRI and PET scan reports and was given an appointment in mid July. I was told it would be a flat $800 private pay. Two days before our flight, UCLA called and said Dr. Kaprealian was busy and that we should be ready to pay $2000 to see an oncologist and a neurologist. I flew my mother to LA, paid the fee in full, and during a brief appointment with two rushed doctors was told that a biopsy was necessary before UCLA could provide any medical assistance. The procedure and recuperation time would take at least four weeks. (My mother had been given a month to live from initial diagnosis.) I received the report and flew my mother back home; she died on July 27.Then in October 2016, we received a collection notice for almost $800. It was only until I wrote a letter to the COO/CFO of UCLAs Dept of Radiation Oncology, promising to file a complaint with the CEO of the UCLA Medical Center, as well as the California Attorney General that I received a call saying that a mistake had been made and would be rectified. I never did receive a call, an email, a letter, or any type of communication from Dr. Tania Kaprealian; I guess she was quite busy for two years or so.
