Just letting everyone know that Lincoln Financial Group originally allowed my long-term disability application and then suddenly decided, based on a nurses review, that I was no longer disabled in spite of no evidence that I had gotten any better. In fact, my doctor stated that he felt I would not get any better since it had been months since my fourth spine surgery. Now, I appealed and received a denial based on a “independent” medical review from Dr. Jamie L. Lewis in Spokane, WA, who was “purchased” by National Medical Review, an Examworks company. His was a typical boiler-plate denial. Interestingly, Examworks’ stock is sold by Lincoln National Life, the parent company of Lincoln Financial Group. Examworks has been aggresively buying out independent IME businesses and has already purchased many other companies in order to control the IME market. Anyway, just trying to expose Lincoln Financial Group and their ties with Examworks, National Medical Review and probably 50 other IME businesses across the country.
