Based in Pennsylvania, CIGNA is a global health insurance company that offers medical, life, dental, accident, vision and disability insurance in addition to international and expatriate insurance coverage. Customers purchase insurance to cover the costs of health care in times of emergency, series illness or for a chronic condition.
While most employers offer insurance plans to employees, some people purchase private insurance themselves. Customers are expected to pay a deductible; once the deductible is paid, the insurance company pays the rest.
CIGNA insurance has been accused of denying coverage to customers. One case, in particular, involved a teenage girl named Nataline Sarkisyan who was in need of a liver transplant. Although Sarkisyam's doctors said the teen had a 65 percent chance of living for another six months after the surgery, CIGNA refused to cover the transplant procedure.
The health insurance company justified its action by saying that the liver transplant procedure is too risky and there isn't enough evidence to prove that the patient would be safe.
CIGNA, reportedly, has denied insurance claims of many sick patients. CIGNA isn't the only insurance company that has been accused of wrongfully denying claims. The practice, known as bad faith insurance, is illegal and should not be taken lightly. If you believe that CIGNA or another insurance company wrongfully denied your claim, or acted in another form of bad faith, you should know that you have legal rights and may be able to recover compensation.
A qualified bad faith insurance attorney can fight CIGNA for the compensation you deserve. Attorneys experienced with bad faith insurance cases understand insurance law as it pertains to claims issues and will know whether you have a legitimate case.
If you or a loved one has had a claim denied by CIGNA, or if you suspect that you've been a victim of bad faith, contact a qualified CIGNA attorney for a consultation to discuss your case. Learn your rights and find out if you are entitled to compensation by contacting us today.
