SMDA was hired by a physician to try and convince a disability insurance company to overturn its decision to terminate their claim for disability benefits.
The client had been working as an Emergency Department physician at a rural hospital when they developed a very unusual neurological condition that resulted in significant functional limitations. The disability insurer originally approved and paid the claim for a period of time. However, it terminated the claim when the “own occupation” period expired, even while the client continued to experience significant functional problems that interfered with the performance of even routine activities of daily living.
SMDA filed a comprehensive administrative appeal providing substantial documentation regarding the rare diagnosis convincing the disability insurer to reinstate the claim and pay the client additional benefits.
