Health Insurance Claim Denial

Insurance companies do not like to pay claims. In fact, they systematically deny claims, knowing that a certain percentage of people will not re-file or seek legal help. If your health insurance carrier has denied medical expenses or treatment covered by your policy, contact Uscher, Quiat, Uscher & Russo, P.C. to learn your rights and take the fight to them.

Mike Quiat has helped many clients in the New York City Metro Area and New Jersey as a health insurance claim lawyer. He offers 25 years of litigation experience, including insurance bad faith lawsuits. He knowsthe insurance industry and their claims procedures. He knows what they know – a significant percentage of denied claims are never challenged, so it pays for insurers to “just say no” to initial claims.

Insurance companies are especially reluctant to pay for nervous disorders and mental illness treatment. Attorney Mike Quiat has long experience with appealing wrongfully denied claims for legitimate care and medications for anxiety, depression and other psychiatric and neurological conditions

Your seasoned advocate at UQUR has a proven record in appealing denied health insurance claims. Mike Quiat stands up to major insurance companies, prevailing in all types of medical claim disputes:

• Surgery
• Medications
• Medical equipment
• X-rays and diagnostics
• Chiropractic care

• Psychiatric care
• Emergency room care 
• Second opinions
• Physical therapy
• Innovative therapies and treatments

We focus on the reasons for your denial. If the insurance company disputes that your procedure or care was “medically necessary,” we get verification and documentation from your doctor who prescribed the procedure, and do independent medical research to prove your entitlement to coverage. Other claims are denied as not “reasonable and customary” – we evaluate medical reports to demonstrate why the provider’s fees should be covered under your policy.
