Chapter 2

What do you do if the insurance company is making you see a different specialist?

A lady was suffering from PTSD and was getting treatment from a therapist for over a year. She was approved for LTD, but after a year and a half, the insurance company wanted her to see a different therapist. 2 months later, the new therapist that was recommended by the insurance company accused her of lying or lacking motivation and the insurance company cut her off. Can the insurance company make you see a different specialist for treatment?

 

Chapter 3

Chapter 7

Why does the insurance company get a portion of the severance I received from my employer? 

My wife was terminated while on LTD. We hired an employment lawyer and we got her 45k in severance. The LTD insurance company got credit for that amount and my wife ended up getting nothing from the severance. Is there anything we could do?

 

Chapter 8

Will I be cut off LTD if I refuse to speak to a new specialist that my adjustor is recommending? 

I have been on LTD for over a year now and I see my psychologist every week for depression and anxiety. Recently, my adjustor contacted me and asked me to see their psychologist for treatment because they think the psychologist I’ve been seeing is not helping me recover. Do I have to do what the adjustor is saying? If I don’t, will they stop the payments?

 

Chapter 9

It's been 10 months since I was involved in an accident. Can I leave my lawyer and contact you instead?

I was involved in a collision and I have a lawyer. Its been 10 months since the accident and the file has been dragging on. Can I leave my lawyer and contact you instead?

Chapter 11

My wife will be cut off LTD in September. Should she appeal? 

My wife was in an accident 3 years ago and she suffered a head injury. She’s been off work on LTD for almost 2 years and was recently sent to see a doctor hired by the insurance company who then reported to the insurer that she could go back to work. She was a stockbroker and there’s no way she can do that job or any other job that can pay her anywhere close to what she made as a broker. Her LTD will end in September. Should we appeal the decision? 

 

Chapter 12

Before going on LTD or STD should I get a lawyer to review the policy?
