My sister has had CFS for about a year and a half. Just this week
she received a sapiena telling her that her insurance company
was claiming that because she hadn’t told them about her mental
illness, they not only had to pay nothing more, but they wanted
what they had paid back.
She is as mental ill as any average person. She does go to
something like the support group that is on the TV show
_Dear John_. Now, I wouldn’t call that "treatment for
mental illness", but …
The insurance company sapiena mentioned that she was denying
going to Dr. Blah on such-a-day. She never did, Her HUSBAND
did. Another interesting, but could just be coincedence, is
the fact that her husband quit his job at this very same company
about a month ago.
So, she needs to fight this. If you have any advice (other
than get a *good* lawyer), please pass it along to me. If you
know of anybody that is from Chicago that has gone through
something like this, that wouldn’t mind talking to her, I
would appreciate that too. I would even like to get some
lawyer reccomendations, but I don’t know if that is with
in the spirit of these groups.
Thanks in advace…
