The number one reason for denial of medical claim is due to misconception of the policy holders about medical insurance.In most cases, it has been seen that people having undergone simple medical tests have opted for medical claim, where as medical insurance is only for TREATMENT of illness/disease encountered by the policy holder. The second best reason is "Pre-existing Disease" i.e. existence of disease before taking the policy,which have been concealed. Even if it is declared, there are exclusions for say lst year,2nd year or even 4th year depending on the type of disease. Staying 24 hours in hospital/nursing home is mandatory, where as it has been seen that patient have been discharged on the same day of admission,excepting day care facility for few diseases.Not filling up the claim form properly,TPA's insistence on continuity of policy information from the insurance also delay the process.

How do you appeal when the car insurance company finds you at fault and you are not?

Please give me more information, and I'm sure I can help. Facts of loss? Exact reason they denied your claim? They must give you the reason that your claim was denied, or that you were found neglient. You can file with your company then they can arbitrate the claim for a decision, you can contact the dept of insurance for your state. You can file suit (small claims if under the limit), if you secure a judgment against their insured they will have to pay, (barring any appeals of course), but need to know the reason for denial, to be of real help to you.
