Insurance companies!

We were talking about insurance companies in class, I thought I'd share an anecdote. So my boyfriend is insured with Standard Life through work. He was injured in July, and had been receiving checks from the insurance company. In January his work decided that they were changing insurance providers. So, without paying any premiums, he continued to receive checks from Standard Life. However, they decided that they needed a specialist to "help to better assess his condition". So he sees a specialist who does not even examine his injury but asks personal questions about the nature of the pain and his personal life. He promptly receives notice from the insurance that he is fine, and that they will be ceasing payment, and that he must return to work at full time, 40 hours a week including all physical work necessary. He has 2 GPs, 2 physiotherapists, one osteopath, and a physiatrist telling him he is nowhere near ready, but the insurance has closed his file. Even if he were healed enough to to begin working again, starting de nouveau at full force can hurt anyone.

If that want insulting enough,.my father had been on CSST for a year for his back, and the specialist put that in the report, accusing both of them of insurance fraud.

This isn't right! Is it?

Hello All!

Today Angela came up with the idea to keep posting on the blog despite the fact that the class is over. So, I created this side-blog for people who have issues, questions, etc. to pose in tandem with the ESTU 675 blog. This is a forum to post comments, questions, tidbits of information, questions or general help about the subject matter, or anything you find interesting.

Enjoy!
