See How Do I File a Disability Claim if I Can’t Get in to See My Doctor to get Claim Forms Completed?

Under certain circumstances it may be possible to request extensions and/or get the insurer to agree to accept proof of loss in other formats, such as medical records, test results, etc. However, it is important to be wary of the disability insurance company offering to do peer-to-peer calls with your doctor in lieu of reports.

Action Step. Ask for an extension and if the insurance company refuses to grant one, speak with a disability lawyer.

Each dentist’s claim for disability benefits involves different facts, disabling conditions, policy requirements, insurance companies, etc. While our attorneys are making an effort to share general knowledge with the dental community and answer dentists’ questions about the impact of the coronavirus, this not a substitute for individualized advice from an experienced disability insurance lawyer. If you would like to speak with our attorneys and have them take an in-depth look at your particular situation, please feel free to contact us directly.
