When a claim is denied, it is possible to challenge the insurance carrier with a lawsuit because a devised scheme is used to illegally deny/terminate claims for thousands, violating ERISA (Employee Retirement and Income Security Act). Some of these lawsuits have resulted in a reconsideration of cases, so if you are denied compensation for medical benefits on unjust grounds, a suit of this nature might be something you and your lawyer want to discuss.
