The attorneys at SMDA were recently able to get Cigna (Life Insurance Company of North America) to overturn the claim denial decision for Long Term Disability insurance benefits for a client who had developed significant and progressive cognitive problems.
The client underwent neuropsychiatric testing which confirmed a number of impairments including to his memory, information processing, focus and attention. MRI testing confirmed some non-specific changes in the brain.
SMDA convinced CIGNA to approve and pay the claim including all past due benefits.
