Health insurance is arguably the most important type of insurance because people use it to afford the exorbitant costs of medical care. This type of insurance protects your life, not your property like homeowner’s or auto insurance. After paying expensive premiums, you expect your health insurance to rightfully pay your claims, especially if you are already dealing with the stress and anxiety of a health crisis. The Colorado health insurance bad faith lawyers of Cannon Law are here to help ensure you receive the care and payment for your claims you deserve.
Often, your doctor’s office or other medical provider will handle your claim for you. However, if they do not, contact your insurance provider. Depending on your insurance company, you may be able to file your claim online or by phone. Provide your insurer with all of the relevant documentation, including your medical bills, doctor’s notes, and test results.
What Is Health Insurance Bad Faith?
Insurance bad faith occurs when an insurance company fails to uphold its contractual duty to pay a valid claim under an applicable insurance policy. In health insurance bad faith, this type of claim arises when your medical insurance company unreasonably denies or delays your claim. While any type of insurance provider may potentially commit insurance bad faith, health insurance bad faith is particularly harmful because victims may not receive the medical care they need when the insurance company wrongfully denies claims. Individuals may suffer catastrophic injuries, serious complications, or even death while they wait for the matter to be resolved. Denied or delayed payments for claims are the most common reasons for health insurance bad faith claims.
Examples of Bad Faith Insurance Practices
Failing to fully investigate a claim before denying it
Conducting an inadequate investigation
Delaying the handling of a claim for no reason
Delaying payment of a claim with no justification
Refusing to pay a valid claim
Denying a claim for no reason
Refusing requests for documentation of a claim
Making unreasonable settlements
Attempting to change policy language for an existing policy
