Nationwide LTD Lawyers: Addressing the Reasons Behind Your Denial
If your insurance company denies your claim, by law they must inform you in writing of the denial. The denial letter must contain the reason for the denial, the specific policy or provision used to deny your claim, any additional information you must provide to validate your claim and the options you have for appealing the decision.
Our staff will carefully examine the insurance company’s denial letter in an effort to determine your best course of action going forward. Once the cause of your denial has been determined, we will help you address your claim’s weaknesses by gathering additional information, further consulting your doctor and resubmitting your application in a more concise format.
Throughout our service to you, we will carefully explain your rights to appeal the denial of your claim, and will work to help you complete your appeal in the manner that offers you the best chance of successfully obtaining the benefits you are entitled to.
