If you believe that you have been discriminated against because of your race, color, national origin, disability, age, sex, or religion in programs or activities that HHS directly operates or to which HHS provides federal financial assistance, you may file a complaint with OCR. You may file a complaint for yourself or for someone else.

If you believe that you have been discriminated against because of your disability by a State or local government health care or social services agency, you may file a complaint with the OCR. You may file a complaint for yourself or for someone else.

Many people has tried to file a discrimination – because of disability – and being denied appropriate, medically necessary medication.  Historically people have been directed to the DOJ and seemingly everyone who tried to file a complain with the agency within the DOJ that is suppose to enforce both the Americans with Disability Act and the Civil Rights Act. Every pts that has attempted and reached out to me, got from the DOJ agency “we don’t have the resources to pursue”

I thought that was because this agency and the DEA are both under the same Presidential Cabinet position – DOJ.  I saw something a couple of days ago… that HHS ( Health & Human Services ) has a dept that deals with discrimination under American with Disability Act & Civil Rights Act.

I doubt if HHS will go after a individual provider, but with the new – soon to be pubished CDC opiate dosing guidelines… which is based on the MME system that has NO SCIENCE, nor DOUBLE BLIND CLINICAL STUDIES and the FDA professional prescribing literature does not recognize the MME system as part of its recommended dose range FOR ANY FDA APPROVED MEDICATION. Also the MME system was developed in the mid-1970’s by a OBSERVATIONAL STUDY of post operation pts’ surgical induced acute, decreasing pain and has no application in treating chronic pain.

Could HIHS/OIG consider those entities (hospitals, chain pharmacies, insurance/pbm) who create a “broad brush” approach as to certain mgs/day limits on acute & chronic pain pts without any consideration of the individual’s valid medical needs.  Also any entity that REFUSES to accept pharmacogenomics testing that would indicate that the pt is a fast/ultra fast metabolizer and/or the pt’s metabolism indicates that one specific medication would be best used by the pt’s metabolism.
