A Man in Need is Denied Insurance Claim
An eighty-eight-year-old man, who usually resides in New York, was visiting North Carolina when he needed immediate hospital attention. His heart was racing at one-hundred and twenty beats per minute which is much too fast. There were three major problems with his heart. They admitted him and installed a pacemaker immediately. He stayed at the Duke Raleigh Hospital for several days then got moved to a convalescent center for thirty days. His doctor told him he was unable to travel right away making it impossible for him to return home to New York.
When he finally checked out and returned home he was bombarded with medical bills that his insurance company claimed they would not cover. He was denied and now faced a medical bill of $75,000. His wife suffers from Alzheimer’s and his son with children of his own was also unable to help. He was not only dealing with medical problems, but now he has to deal with the stress of insurance companies.
