Long Term Disability Denied for Failing To Obtain Medical Treatment With Any Doctor

May 11, 2020 //  by Ortiz Law Firm//  Leave a Comment

I cannot emphasize enough that the most important part of a long-term disability claim is medical records. The most common response I receive from my clients is, “How am I supposed to see a doctor or go to the hospital if I don’t have any money or insurance?”

This is a valid point. In fact, lack of money or health insurance to see a doctor is a legitimate excuse for not seeking medical attention. However, this argument does not go very far with many claims. The number-one reason the argument can only go so far is there are a number of free or low-cost clinics in just about any community in our country. These clinics may see patients for free, or for as little as $5 a visit.

For example, in Escambia County in Florida, there are at least three clinics to treat physical ailments, and one clinic to treat mental health problems. There is usually a screening process to determine whether the prospective patient qualifies for the care.

In short, the free or low-cost medical care is only available to low-income and uninsured individuals. You must contact the clinics in your area in order to be established as a patient and develop the medical evidence critical in your claim.

Top Ten Mistakes That Will Destroy Your Long Term Disability Claim

View All Resources

It's always a difficult time when your forced to hire an attorney just to receive benefits that you are entitled to. I just want to say that Otiz law firm has done an amazing job keeping me updated on every step of the process which helped relieve some of my stress of the unknown. It was also tremendously helpful to no longer have to personally deal with the anxiety created by the constant bombardment of arguments and requests from the insurance company. Not every case is a guaranteed win, but having someone fight for my rights and argue on my behalf made it well worthwhile. I appreciate the ones willing to fight for our rights.
