If you are seeking preventative assistance, here are some tips for avoiding health insurance claims due to insurance providers not paying for your treatments:

Prevention

Prior to undergoing any surgical operations or treatment, make sure that you fully understand your insurance policy – what it does and does not cover. Often times, certain procedures and treatments require prior approval from your insurance provider before undergoing the surgery or treatment. Failing to acquire approval can mean not being covered.

Don’t assume that your physician is aware of what is and what is not covered by your insurance provider. Inform your doctor about the circumstances of your policy in regards to your specific treatment or surgery. A PPO and HMO health insurance policy means very different criteria in which physicians and specialists you can visit. For an HMO insurance policy, you will not be covered for health services outside of your plan and your choice of doctors and specialists is limited to your surrounding area. PPO on the other hand, is almost take your pick amongst most doctors and specialists around, but you need to make sure they still are covered within your network to avoid being liable for out-of-network expenses.

Denied Claim

Before consulting with a lawyer about your denied health insurance claim, there is something you can do to make sure to understand the situation and the circumstances of your denied claim. Begin with reviewing your paperwork on the claim. Call your health insurance provider’s customer service line and speak with a representative. This could all be an error and mistaken denials can be cleared up this way. Make sure to note phone conversations and include information on who you are speaking with, date, and time.

If at this stage, the situation is not amended due to an error, you need to consult an experienced insurance claims lawyer who can handle your claim.
