MetLife

MetLife claims my doctor didn't send them the needed info. I watched him do it.

My claim was delayed without just cause. I had two case managers working on my existing case. One day after my claim was submitted and without any medical information authorization form submitted to Metlife by me, a representative attempted to get information from my doctor. My doctor refused and asked that a release form be faxed. It was not done. My claim went without approval until 1 month later and Metlife claims they reached out to my doctor and information was not sent. This is an outright lie since I watched my doctor face over the Notes. Still the claim went unapproved and poorly handled. The claim was recently extended and recommended for an IME REVIEW. In the meantime, I am without pay because of the handling of the claim.

AH, please feel free to contact our office to discuss your case. Ultimately, it is your duty to provide “proof of disability” as such it is not MetLife’s legal obligation to procure your medical records. If there are outstanding records needed by MetLife I would strongly recommend you obtain the records and submit.
