The Administrative Appeals Process

Philadelphia Long-Term Disability Attorney

If your long-term disability claim through your insurance carrier has been denied, your next step is to file an administrative appeal with your insurance company.  Because the administrative appeals process can be a complex procedure, it is highly recommended that you engage the services of an experienced disability lawyer. A Philadelphia long-term disability lawyer at Bernstein Law Offices has the experience to assit you with the appeals process.  Our extensive experience and knowledge can prove to be an invaluable asset in this very important process. We strongly urge you to contact our offices to set up a free and discuss the merits of your disability case.

If your claim has been denied, you should pay close attention to the deadline to file your appeal.  The time periods for appealing a denial are usually noted on your denial letter from the insurance company.   Time is of the essence and the quicker you begin working on your appeal, the better chance you have of making sure that your appeal is comprehensive and fully desrcibes your medical condition and its impact on your ability to work.  

The appeals process gives you the chance to rebut the denial of your claim. It also provides you with an additional opportunity to include evidence in your favor into the administrative record. This may prove invaluable if you are once again denied and need to file a lawsuit in Court.  This is an extremely important process in your pursuit for benefits.   It is in your best interest to have a Philadelphia long-term disability attorney from our firm review your case.
