 Cancer Representation Kaiser Permanente Cancer Misdiagnosis A diagnosis of cancer is no longer the terminal sentence it was in the past. With early detection and timely treatment, the medical impact of many cancers, including colon cancer, prostate cancer, breast cancer, cervical cancer, and lung cancer, can be meaningfully reduced. Delayed Cancer Diagnosis Ignoring or misreading the early warning signs of cancer can have dire consequences. The longer a diagnosis of prostate, colon, cervical or breast cancer is delayed or unrecognized, the more likely it is to progress to a non-treatable stage. Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis can lead to reduced life expectancy, more invasive, aggressive and costly treatment, loss of income due to time spent treating cancer, and in the worst case, premature death. As a Kaiser Permanente member, your rights to file medical claims against Kaiser are limited. Since 1978, all Kaiser Permanente group policies have included a provision mandating use of a private arbitration procedure for all medical claims against Kaiser Permanente. These complex proceedings often result in the denial of medical claims regardless of the negligence, carelessness or malpractice of the health care provider. If you believe that a Kaiser health care provider has missed or ignored warning signs of cancer, you should seek the advice of an experienced Kaiser malpractice attorney to evaluate your claim.
