(EMAILWIRE.COM, July 02, 2011 ) New York, NY -- Class Action.org has released a new alert regarding the alleged improper and unfair payment of claims under supplemental insurance policies, including cancer policies, in its consumer fraud section. The cancer policy fraud alert was posted to inform consumers of allegations that some insurance companies have adopted a new practice of paying claims under supplemental health insurance policies which results in a lower payment amount to the insured and a possible violation of the language outlined in the policy. If you own a supplemental insurance policy, such such as a cancer policy, and have noticed a reduction in the amount paid to you for covered services, visit http://www.classaction.org/cancer-policy-and-supplemental-healthcare-policy-fraud.html to learn more about your rights.
Supplemental insurance policies are used to provide additional insurance to patients who need help paying for services and out-of-pocket expenses not covered by their primary policy. In the past, insurance companies determined the amount of a policyholderÂ’s benefits based on the amount the physician or hospital billed the consumer; they did not consider any discounts that the healthcare provider may have negotiated separately with the patientÂ’s private health insurance company or Medicare when paying policy benefits. Recently, however, some insurance companies have reportedly adopted a new practice which pays benefits based on the adjusted or discounted amount, rather than the full value of the covered service, resulting in a lower reimbursement to the policyholder.
If you purchased a supplemental health insurance policy, and have noticed that you are receiving a lower payment amount for covered services than what you have come to expect, you may have legal recourse. Visit Class Action.org to learn more about the potential for cancer policy lawsuits and to receive a free evaluation of your claim.
