Appealing the Denial of Long Term Disability Insurance Benefits in New York
Our firm can guide you in the long term disability claims process from start to finish. However, many of our clients come to us after being denied coverage under their insurance policy. They are often discouraged that the insurance company is not holding up their end of the agreement when the insured becomes disabled.
Denial of long-term disability benefits under insurance programs paid by employers is governed by ERISA, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act. When your insurer denies your long term disability benefits, ERISA law requires that your employer maintain an appeals process.
These appeals are very important because they may be a basis for reversal of the insurance coverage denial or be the foundation of further legal action should the appeal fail. At this stage, it is highly recommended that you seek professional legal help. Knowing how to respond to a denial of Insurance coverage requires knowledge of the practices of insurance companies and their obligation under the law.
