New York Life

New York Life will probably deny my claim again

I have been off work since June, 2013. I have pinch nerve between C6 and C7. The first nerve conductive test didn’t show this. The second one done by a second Dr. did show this plainly. Now they say since the first one didn’t show anything, they won’t pay any further benefits. I have gone to Nashville and seen another neurologist opinion and try to get some help. He has ordered up another test on my disc. I can’t have MRI since I have metal in my neck. The same Dr. that did the nerve conductive test that show nothing, also did the mylelogram and CT scan and says I have alot of problems from C3 to C7, but none of this should be causing me any pain. So, New York Life has refused to pay anymore and went with the first test and not the second that found the problem. I am still in pain, and getting ready to have the next test done for Dr. in Nashville. But can’t get in for that test until end of Sept. I have contacted Insurance commission, and also have filed an appeal with the insurance company. Which according to everything I have read, will probably be denied again.
