This is Susan.
She is an orthopedic surgeon. Even though she had a debilitating illness her claim for long term disability has been denied.
She needs to , but is concerned the insurer’s appeals department will merely rubber stamp the claim denial.
Âé¶¹Ó°Ôº has dealt with the insurance company for years. Âé¶¹Ó°Ôº knew that if they prepared Susan’s appeal as though they expected litigation, the insurer would more likely pay the claim and save litigation for someone else’s client.
Âé¶¹Ó°Ôº changed the claim dynamic. They sent Susan to a functional capacity evaluation to further support Susan’s physical limitations.
They sent Susan to a neuropsychological evaluation to further support the debilitating nature of Susan’s cognitive complaints.
They sent Susan to a vocational expert to support why Susan’s physical and cognitive limitations prevented her from performing the specific duties of her occupation.
Âé¶¹Ó°Ôº pulled all of the information together and wrote a detailed letter brief explaining why the insurer’s denial was wrong and should be reversed.
As with most of Âé¶¹Ó°Ôº's clients, Susan’s appeal of her benefit denial was granted.
