Most people do not want to spend too much time dwelling on the issue of long-term care. Whether you need assistance, or a vulnerable family member requires help, long-term care is a very sensitive matter. Still, you need to ensure that your family is prepared: long-term care is incredibly expensive. Many Illinois families have long-term care coverage under an insurance policy. In some cases, this coverage comes from an ERISA governed plan; in other cases, this coverage comes from an individual plan.
Unfortunately, regardless of the type of plan you have, actually obtaining your benefits can prove to be difficult. The big insurance companies are not generally eager to pay out claims. At Bartolic Law, our dedicated Illinois long-term care lawyers are committed to holding insurers accountable. If you or a loved one has had your long-term care claim denied in Illinois, please reach out to our law firm for assistance.
The first step to getting your full long-term care benefits is knowing precisely why your claim was denied.
