Kansas City Doctor Disability Claims Denied Attorney

Why Doctor’s Disability Claim Denied

Insurance companies don’t always act in your best interest. They may deny claims based on technicalities, vague policy language, or insufficient medical evidence. Some common reasons for denial include:

Complex Policy Terms and Exclusions

Disability policies can be confusing, with hidden exclusions that insurers use to deny coverage. They might argue that your condition isn’t covered or falls under a policy limitation.

“Not Disabled Enough” by Their Standards

Many policies differentiate between “own-occupation” and “any-occupation” disability. If your policy only covers disabilities that prevent you from working in any job (not just your role as a doctor), insurers may deny your claim.

Lack of Medical Documentation

Insurance companies often say there isn’t enough medical evidence to support your disability. They may request additional tests or rely on biased independent medical exams (IMEs) to dispute your claim.

Delays and Missing Paperwork

Even minor administrative errors—like missing paperwork or deadlines—can give insurance companies an excuse to deny your claim.

Misrepresentation Accusations

Insurers may claim that you misrepresented your medical history when you applied for coverage, using this as a reason to deny or cancel your policy.

What to Do If Your Claim Was Denied

A denied claim isn’t the end of the road. You have the right to appeal; we can help you build a strong case. Here’s what you should do next:

Read the Denial Letter Carefully

Your denial letter should explain why your claim was rejected. Understanding the reason will help us plan the best approach for your appeal.

Gather More Evidence

If the insurer claims insufficient proof, we’ll work with your doctors to get additional medical records, expert opinions, and detailed documentation to support your case.
