This story sounds all too familiar to me. I have been denied coverage and subsequently saddled with debt. I know others who have experienced similar. I wonder how widespread this is.
Reading about insurance company's internal process is deeply upsetting. It is like a kangaroo court, where the denial of benefits is predetermined. Documentation to support this conclusion is fabricated. Documentation that does not support the conclusion is buried.
- treeman79 4y agoHad a clot in lung and a series of minor strokes. Couldn’t sit up more than a few minutes, barely talk, couldn’t do math or much reasoning. Disability lied endlessly to me, eventually denied claim after I got really pushy. Took months for me to get them to call me back. Since I had an office job. Clearly I didn’t need to any of the above. Couldn’t figure out how to fight them at the time, since most of my reasoning was gone. Made for some bad years while I recovered.

- quarterdime 4y agoI am glad you are still here, yet sorry to hear of that experience. Thanks for sharing. >Couldn’t figure out how to fight them at the time, since most of my reasoning was gone. Very similar to my experience too. Very few people are best prepared to fight a bureaucracy while dealing with a health issue that racks up millions.
