Memphis Disability Insurance Claims
It is common for residents of Memphis to get their disability insurance coverage from their employers. As a bustling epicenter of business and commercial industries in Tennessee, Memphis is home to some major employers. FedEx and Walmart, for example, are some of the largest employers in the city. Private employers like this often rely on major insurance companies for disability insurance.
Big insurance companies that sell plans to employers include:
- UNUM
- CIGNA or LINA
- Prudential
- MetLife
- Reliance Standard
- And more
It is not uncommon for insurance companies to delay or deny valid claims for disability benefits. As a law firm that focuses entirely on disability insurance, we have seen every tactic used to delay making a claim decision. One tactic that most companies seem to use is to claim the proof of disability has not been provided. This could mean that the disability paperwork, also known as an attending physician statement, was not sent by the treating doctor. It could also mean that medical records were requested, but not received.
In our experience, the insurance company might have already received documentation it states has not been provided and is purposefully delaying processing a disability claim. Having an attorney who is experienced with disability claims can ensure the insurance company does not engage in these tactics in the claims review process.
Insurance companies also use independent medical examinations to set up a claim for a denial. Although it is referred to as “independent,” the truth is these examinations are not independent. In reality, the physicians used by disability insurance companies often only do medical examination for, and get paid by, insurance companies. Other types of examination for disability claims include neuropsychological evaluations and functional capacity evaluations or FCE. If a disability claimant is being sent to a medical examination, it is important to consult with a disability insurance lawyer.
