BEWARE of using Aetna Insurance for any company or individual benefits. My company had Aetna, which we were given short-term disability, and I purchased a long term insurance policy with them. After being injured on the job, and my treating doctor stating that I am not to return to work, Aetna is denying my claim, stating they feel I am able to return to work, against my treating doctors orders.
Let me make this clear. My doctor says I cannot return to work. Aetna, who has never seen me, states I can.
Let me make this even clearer. My injury is to my shoulder, elbow and back. Aetna denied my claim. Then when it was appealed, AETNA is the one who reviews and determines if the appeal should be overturned.
Hows that for irony?
BE CAREFUL if you are using Aetna Insurance. They will deny your claim for reasons THEY feel warranted. I am obtaining an attorney to sue Aetna, but why should a customer that paid for years into an insurance program be denied benefits when they are needed.
The State Corporation Commission in Virginia says it holds no responsibility. The commonwealth of Pennsylvania Insurance Bureau offers no advice or response. The Pennsylvania Insurance Board also offers no assistance or answer. The Bureau of Consumer Service, Insurance Department says to contact local officials. The NAIC Corporate office offers absolutely no response. Even a letter to the White House went unanswered.
So Aetna can do whatever they want to people. Wherever they want to do it. Collect money for Insurance, knowing they do not have to pay out if needed, and are allowed to practice this illegal activity in the general public without consequences of punishment.
This is what our government is telling us.
I am not going to stand by and allow a company like Aetna to illegally and fraudulently strip me of what I am owed. I will write, call and do whoever or whatever is necessary until this lying business is punished.
Sincerely,
Robert H
