HR dept????

I'd like to hear from anyone who was denied through their insurance that was self funded and then went through the human resources dept for approval. My insurance is BCBS of IL PPO and they have denied me 1 time so I contacted the IL dept of insurance and they told me since my insurance was self funded through my husbands employer that I needed to go through the HR dept for approval. Any advice would be appreciated, Thanks!!

Angela - Read the section of your insurance handbook on administrative appeal processes. It should give you all the steps necessary to move forward. Then talk to HR, hopefully an understanding person. Good luck.

I was denied by insurance, our employer is self insured. I tried going through HR and they would hardly talk to me. So I hired a lawyer. Gary J. Viscio, Esq. Resnikoff & Viscio, PC 145 Willis Avenue Mineola, New York 11501 (516) 742-5300 Fax (516) 742-8130 [email protected]
