Aetna Long Term Disability Cases

Aetna Long-Term Disability Claims: What You Need to Know

Aetna is one of the largest insurance providers in the United States, offering long-term disability (LTD) insurance to employees and individuals. However, many claimants experience significant challenges when trying to obtain the benefits they are entitled to under their Aetna LTD policy. If you have had your claim denied, delayed, or unfairly terminated, working with an experienced long-term disability attorney can make all the difference in securing the benefits you need.

Common Issues with Aetna Long-Term Disability Claims

Many individuals who file LTD claims with Aetna encounter obstacles that make it difficult to receive the benefits they deserve. Some of the most common issues include:

  • Claim Denials for Insufficient Medical Evidence – Aetna often denies claims by arguing that the medical documentation provided is not sufficient to prove disability. They may request additional testing, ignore treating physicians’ opinions, or rely on their own medical reviewers who never physically examine the claimant.
  • Unreasonable Surveillance and Investigation – Aetna may conduct surveillance, review social media accounts, or hire investigators to find reasons to challenge a claim. Even minor activities taken out of context can be used against claimants to argue that they are not disabled.
  • Delays in Processing Claims – Many claimants face extensive delays when waiting for a decision on their LTD claim. These delays can cause financial distress and make it difficult to access necessary medical treatments.
  • Pre-existing Condition Exclusions – Aetna may deny claims by citing pre-existing condition exclusions, even when a claimant’s disability is unrelated to prior medical issues.
  • Termination of Benefits After a Certain Period – Some claimants who initially receive LTD benefits may later find that Aetna terminates payments after a policy-defined period, often under the argument that they are no longer disabled according to their definition.

Common Challenges with Aetna Long-Term Disability Claims

Aetna, like many insurance companies, operates with a focus on minimizing payouts, often leading to unfair denials and unnecessary delays. Some common issues claimants encounter include:

  • Claim Denials Due to Insufficient Medical Evidence: Aetna may argue that your medical records do not sufficiently prove your disability, even when your doctor confirms your inability to work.
  • Failure to Recognize Disabling Conditions: Certain conditions, such as chronic pain disorders, mental health conditions, or autoimmune diseases like diabetes, may be downplayed or ignored.
  • Surveillance and Social Media Monitoring: Aetna may use video surveillance or social media activity to dispute the severity of your condition.
  • Claim Termination After Initial Approval: Even if you initially receive benefits, Aetna may terminate them prematurely by claiming you have improved, often relying on their own doctors rather than your treating physician’s opinion.
