Lincoln Financial
Lincoln Financial disregarded my wife's dopctor's diagnosis and denied her STD claim.
Is there no Federal governing body for the insurance industry? What is the Federal government doing to make this situation better? My wife was just dropped from her STD by Lincoln–first, they challenged the doctor for not providing a clear diagnosis. Then when he did, they determined she could return to work. Unfortunately, her doc doesn’t agree. In the meantime, we’ve lost our employer-based healthcare coverage that was paying for her doctor visits and our car because she hasn’t been paid in over three months. This is just the tip of a deep and convoluted iceberg–but Lincoln Financial has well and truly stuck us.

Michael, your wife should be entitled to an administrative appeal of the denial of benefits. If she has not already filed same please feel free to contact our office to discuss how we may be able to assist her.
