Reason for Claim Appeal

The insured had multiple, very severe pre-existing conditions. However, the hospital failed to give the insured a medical diagnosis. There was no doubt that the symptoms the insured had were the same symptoms of his multiple pre-existing conditions. Therefore, it was very easy for the insurance company to claim the symptoms and the reason they went to the Emergency Room were either from pre-existing conditions or the complications of pre-existing condition – both of which are not covered. This visit resulted in a $58,000 plus claim that was denied by the insurance company.

After Contacting Insubuy

As the customer was not able to deal with the claims appeal themselves to directly try getting it approved, they reached out to Insubuy for help. After the customer gave the necessary authorization and medical records, Insubuy’s Claims Resolution Specialist looked into the details of their medical records.

Upon reviewing the medical records, the claims department’s perspective was understood. However, the claims department missed the fact that they thought he had the flu and the doctor had tested him for it, the result of which came back positive. All the symptoms they had experienced were the same symptoms of the flu. The certificate wording of the policy states that there must be reasonable medical certainty that the insureds claim was the result of a pre-existing condition.

Insubuy’s Claims Resolution Specialist coached the client on what to focus on, the medical terminology to use, and how to write an appeal letter based on the fact that the flu symptoms did not exist prior to the effective date of the policy. In their letter they requested all claims be processed for payment unless the insurance company can prove within reasonable medical certainty that it did and that there was medical certainty that the claim was the result of the flu. By using the right words and narrowing the focus, the claims department overturned their decision and paid the claim up to the policy maximum.
