Monetta – Licensed Practical Nurse – Arkansas City, Arkansas
Stroke Complications
A Licensed Practical Nurse needed to stop working following complications from a stroke. Her insurer denied her claim for Long Term Disability benefits. Mutual of Omaha stated she had a pre-existing condition of hypertension, which they claimed had a direct correlation to the stroke she suffered. According to the group policy governing her Long Term Disability benefits, a pre-existing condition was any injury or sickness for which she received medical treatment for, or had medicines prescribed to her, in the 12 months prior to the day she was disabled. The attorneys at Fields Law appealed this denial of benefits claiming hypertension is not a pre-existing condition for a stroke. Mutual of Omaha agreed and reversed its prior decision to deny benefits.
