Cigna Denials

Bartolic Law has turned many Cigna benefit denials into payments to clients. In one case, our client was a marketing officer who suffered a stroke, and the lasting damage to fine motor control and speech made the client unable to work on a keyboard and mouse as required to do the occupation. Bartolic Law made a compelling case including visual demonstrations of the lack of fine motor control, where we showed the client’s use of a covered cup to avoid spilling liquids and showed the client attempting to use a keyboard and mouse for work in email and various software programs. Simply reading the symptoms in medical records was not enough, and our unique proximity to our clients, and willingness to always go the extra mile, resulted in our client getting benefits paid. In another case, we demonstrated a clinical nurse taking immunosuppressive drugs to accept a liver transplant remained disabled because the client could not safely engage in public contact. This is the risk of disability rule of disability insurance law that insurers often overlook, or deliberately ignore. If you had your benefits denied or terminated by Cigna, call Bartolic Law today. One of the most frequent errors Cigna makes is misclassifying an occupation at the regular occupation stage, and then assuming you have the skills required for a very different occupation.
