How Many People Have Been Hurt Fighting Against Health Care Reform And Had Their Health Insurance Claim Denied? |
Question by Count Acumen | Posted in Politics
Wouldn't that be very set aside for someone to literally get physically hurt fighting for the health insurance companies only to find out that when they filed their claim to the insurance company their claim would be denied ? It's not as far fetched as you might conceive of.
| Answer: Well at least with a surreptitiously company, you can fire them if they don't deliver on their promises. I was injured fighting for my country. I'm a 100% assignment-connected disabled veteran. My country promised that they would take care of my health if I risked my viability for it. Now that I'm disabled I find that those promises are completely worthless. The VA delays, deflects, and denies treatment to inoperative veterans. I have faced blanket denials, long delays, refusal to stipulate medication, treatment, or tests. Refusal to pay any and all health care costs in the private sector, which they promised would be covered. How much more shameful is it to give everything you have to your country, and then find that they have no intention of keeping the promises made? No, its not far-fetched at all. I have "free" health responsibility. It is worse than having nothing. Unkept promises do more damage than promising nothing at all. At least when people be informed they are on their own they can make arrangements for their care. To be promised care that is never delivered keeps people clinging to security until they die from neglect from those that they trusted. |

How Can I Effectively Appeal A Denied Health Insurance Claim? |
Question by ChyTay | Posted in Insurance
I have a series of claims ...for chiropractic treatment that has been denied....how can I get these appealed successfully?
The treatment was decompression psychoanalysis...and the insurance came back and said that it's not a covered therapy.
Answer: The position where I live mandates that chiropractors are a covered provider. Lot's of states don't have that mandate. Before you go through lots of pest appealing the denial of claims, make sure that your policy covers such treatment.
The first stride a resign is with the insurance company. Step two is with your states insurance commissioners office.
Good luck

How Do I Fight My Denied Health Insurance Claim? |
Question by Nicholas C | Posted in Insurance
While on vacation in AZ, I visited a CVS wink clinic for my sore throat. The cost was $107 but Blue Shield wouldn't robe it, claiming in a letter that by visiting CVS, i had literally designated MYSELF as my own doctor instead of my seasonal primary care physician! The letter even stated "M.D." next to my name as the direct care physician that I visited at CVS!! How do I fight this? Who can I talk to?

Can Health Insurance Deny Claim After Pre-authorization |
Question by QandA | Posted in Insurance
How suitable is it & under what circumstances can a health insurance company deny a claim if they had pre-authorized the treatment earlier.
The specific box I am concerned about is cancer which was never diagnosed or symptomatic but may be determined to be pre-existing after surgery.
The insurance in mystery is short term visitors insurance from a leading US insurance carrier.
Answer: Yes, its practical that a claim can be denied after a pre-authorization. But only under very specific circumstances.
For example...
If you have a change in coverage between the time that the benefit was pre-authorized and the time the service happens.
If your coverage is canceled completely. (You insufficiency to be eligible for insurance coverage on the date the services are actually done.)
If it is determined that your pre-authorization was duplicitous. (ex- you or your doctor submitted false information to get the approval)
If the services you have done and your provider bills for don't harmonize up with the pre-authorization. (Ex - you get pre-auth for one specific type of surgery, but you actually have something degree different.)
If you get pre-authorization for a specific doctor to do a service, but end up having a different doctor do the overhaul without notifying the insurer in advance.
Those are just some examples. Basically if you have the exact same pass on that was pre-approved and absolutely nothing has changed about the terms of your coverage on the policy, you should be fine. The problems that could come up come from either a change in your policy/coverage or a change in the procedure that was actually done. |

How Many Health Insurance Claims Are Denied In The US Each Day? |
Question by Nathaniel | Posted in Insurance
I'm working on a documentary about health insurance claims, but can't seem to find a steady statistic about how many (potentially life-saving) treatments are prevented by the insurance claims that are denied by companies. A day after day or annual figure would be hugely helpful.
(This is only a minor fact to contextualize an human being's struggle with the healthcare system that is the actual focus of the film).
Answer: Showing fair the quantity would be reckless without discussing the quality of the claims - but I guess that what "detail"aries have become now. Find anecdotes and comment on them instead. You'd still get the same point across, it would be more powerful to most audiences, and you would have reality on your side. Both liberals and conservatives twist statistics, and it just devalues the whole conversation.
You may find some guidance studies on this, but since this type of information is private, I doubt you'd find anything better than a guess.
Gentle luck. |

Health Insurance Claim Denied Despite Proof Of Coverage? |
Question by T L | Posted in Insurance
To pocket a long story short, I have several claims from summer of 2007 that are being repeatedly denied by my ex-insurance throng due to their claims that I was not covered for those dates. My previous employer (a large well-known ecumenical retail business) has both been on conference call with me and sent a letter in writing to the insurance company clarifying my coverage dates. The claims are still being denied.
When my HR dept is exposed again I will make one more call to ask them to verify, but if this denial occurs again, what are my options? Should I compile a bunch of paperwork and send it to a higher up at the ins. co? Should I be hiring a barrister? The insurance agent clearly expressed doubt on the phone WITH my benefits department about their records. They obviously do not want to take responsibility for these bills. I've wasted so much time effective back and forth with them...help!
Here's the ironic part. A conference call was already made prior to my second denial. The rep blatantly doubted my manager's records, but said records would be updated. My employer also followed up with a written utterance of coverage. Denied again. Then, I was informed they would call my employer and I also sent them paycheck stubs showing I was paying for insurance. I was told following their phone call to my patron, they would personally respond with status, which never happened.
Answer: If the tough nut to crack is with your effective dates, your previous employer is the only one who has the correct documentation and power to get this resolved. Most of the time, the employer has a specific contact person at the insurance company to get these types of issues resolved. They definately extremity to go higher in the "food chain" here.
Make sure you get copies of whatever documentation your too soon employer has sent or will be sent. Then once you receive that, send a followup letter to the insurance ensemble and CC your state's insurance commissioner's office. |

Do I Need To Hire A Lawyer To Fight Against Health Insurance Company For Denied Claims? |
Question by hong j | Posted in Insurance
I am having mind-boggler with my health insurance company who denied coverage. There is $50,000 outstanding balance, which supposed to be covered, but were denied, because of I am also listed under my retain's health insurance.
The claims were re-routed to both insurances.... and I haven't contacted the State power (Dept of Insurance?) yet.
On the State agency's web site, it saying "If you have an attorney representing you in this occurrence or if there is a lawsuit currently ongoing or pending, our ability to mediate this matter is minimal, but we will investigate your inquiry for any regulatory issues. However, if a lawsuit is pending, we may defer the regulatory review until the finality of the litigation. We ask that you still complete this form so we have a record of your issue."
The primordial service was rendered 6 month ago... and I am losing time.
Shoud I information a complaints to State agency first, and wait for what they are come up with? OR hire an attorney now?
Answer: Well, what's the Hour FRAME? Will they honor claims filed within 180 days, or 365?
I'd be VERY inclined to do the insurance be sure of first - an attorney is going to cost you money up front, and they're not likely to be able to DO anything for you.
I'd ALSO be inclined to build up all the paperwork, INCLUDING COPIES OF BOTH POLICIES, and truck it down to have a meeting with your homeowners insurance deputy, and get THEIR opinion - free of charge.
Your policy would be primary. Depending on WHY your policy declined to inundate, then your husband's should be secondary, covering you. So, the declination from the primary carrier should trigger coverage from the less important, unless we're talking about an uncovered procedure here (like cosmetic surgery).
You require to have both claim EOB's, and both declination letters, to send to the insurance department. Now, they're usually pretty fast, you'll credible have a response within two weeks. And normally, the "180 days" retriggers from the steady old-fashioned the claim was denied, so that should buy you a little more time. |

Question by bruce_eel | Posted in Insurance
and initially you were told that they would covering you almost in full. (i got a bill for 17 thousand dollars) for an operation I had that my doctor's secretary told me would be covered 90% by insurance.
Answer: Take it up with the doctor's secretary. Subtle of her to speak for the insurance company.
What the secretary says doesn't bind the insurer to anything. In the meantime, appeal the claim. Can't get any worse. |

If Someone Sign Up For Life Insurance Now, And Their Health Goes Bad In 20 Years, Can The Claim Be Denied? |
Question by xBladexDragonx | Posted in Insurance
Lets say I unrestricted my life insurance policy now and fill out the application correct and everything truthfully.
20 years from now, my health is crap. Lets say I have diabetes, spirit problems, high blood pressure, so on and so on. Then lets say I die...
Can the life insurance claim be denied because of this?
Answer: Please brush off BSherman. First of all, you don't have to concern yourself with a denial for any reason after either two or three years (depending on the state) of owning the method. This is known as the "contestibility period," and is governed by state law. After the finishing of this period, a death claim cannot be denied for ANY reason, to include fraud or suicide. You can walk to be fair up to the insurance examiner's desk and put a bullet in your brain right in front of him, and the company will pay the claim.
Secondly, and more importantly, insurance companies NEVER leave alone paying legitimate claims. This is particularly true of life insurance, where death is the only criterion upon which a claim is based. Claims payment is actuarial. It doesn't question how many claims a company pays; it's all very carefully and reliably calculated, and the company still makes mellifluous much the exact profit they planned. The amount of the claim is irrelevant as well, as the risk to the company is directly commensurate to the premium they're charging you.
Finally, in US history, an insurance company insolvency has NEVER resulted in nonpayment of a termination claim. Between reserve requirements, state guaranty funds, and the financial incentive for other companies to buy undervalued treatise, the safety net has proven itself virtually impenetrable.
Finally, the previous poster states that "some people hold that it is better to simply put the money, which you would have put into life insurance premiums, into a bank account as opposed to." This is known as self-insuring, and should be everyone's eventual goal. If you die, and your family needs $500,000 to sell on, then you should have $500,000 cash in the bank. Don't have it? I guess that's why you need life insurance. Wow! |
