My doctor signed paperwork and they still denied my pregnancy claim

I was denied my claim for short term disability regarding my claim. My first pregnancy was premature. This is my second pregnancy I am filing for and I was denied because they felt there was nothing wrong with me. I have medical paperwork to prove it. It has been nothing but stressful. My doctor signed paperwork and they still denied it.

Macii, you should review your denial letters to see what options are available for you to challenge the disability insurers decision. You should be given the option to appeal the decision within a certain period of time described in that letter. Typically, its 180 days, however, reference the denial letter and the STD Plan for the time frame applicable to your claim and employee benefit plan.
