Health Insurance Benefits in California and Nationwide
Kantor & Kantor, LLP Can Help Get Your Health Insurance Benefits Paid
Increasingly, health insurance companies are wrongfully denying health insurance claims. When insurance companies wrongly deny health benefits, patients are not just denied their insurance benefits, but they are often denied access to medically necessary treatment, surgery, medications, or other health services recommended by their treating physician or treatment team.
Why Would a Health Insurance Claim be Denied?
A health insurance company can deny a claim for many reasons, including:
- The treatment or service isn’t deemed medically necessary or appropriate
- The plan doesn’t cover the treatment, service, or medication
- The health care provider isn’t in your plan’s network
- Your insurer requires preauthorization
- The treatment is considered investigational or experimental
- The claim wasn’t filed on time
At Kantor & Kantor, we work with patients and their families to ensure health benefits get paid when health insurance companies refuse to pay for medically necessary care, treatment, or medications. Our attorneys have extensive experience appealing and litigating health insurance claim denials on behalf of our clients in California and across the country.
