I have difficulty getting a few facts about insurance companies across to people All insurance companies make profits for their investors by collecting money (premiums) from the innocent and naive and then keeping as much as they can for themselves.Only in the direst of circumstances and under the greatest of pressure will insurance companies part with this money. Although they’ll cancel your policy if you’re a few days late on your premium payments, they shift to slo-mo when it’s time for them to write anyone a check. Health insurance giant CIGNA is now one full year behind in physician payments with their State of Illinois enrollees. When it’s something obvious, like the euphemistically named life insurance, you’d think there would be no problem forking over the money to your loved ones after you died. But even after you die, they’ll meticulously comb through your doctor’s notes, any forms you filled in long ago, and so forth, looking for something—anything–to weasel out of payment. To answer your unasked question, yes, our office gets “records requests” from life insurance companies when one of our patients dies. wholehealthchicago/4021/the-fox-guarding-the-hen-house/
