Re: CLASS ACTION SUIT WITH AETNA US HEALTHCARE

[Guest guest]

Well, I'm currently having problems with them. They filed my

daughters speech claims under her sister. They paid for speech in

2002, but now they say they won't pay for her 2003 claims (even

though they did in 2002).

They seem totally unorganized. I'm very frustrated with them.

suit against this company.

FYI, Aetna only offers 60 days of speech services, LIFETIME. So, no, once those

60 days are up, you're on your own.

If you're interested in fighting them, let me know.

The thing that has been hard is that we are in the middle of

moving. We still have half of our stuff in a storage unit. I had

to unpack medical records from 2002. Well, last night I found what

I was looking for. It's a letter from Aetna saying that they would

cover speech therapy for .

I faxed it to Aetna last night, and I'm looking forward to talking

to them next week.

We've now switched to Blue Cross, and we were only going to private

speech once a week. If they cover 60 sessions, that would get us

through.

I am very familiar with insurance issues. if the mental health issue was

truly an emergency ie. emergency room tx. then by law they must pay for it.

Have you followed all of the appeals processes you have available and filed a

complaint with the DOBI? (department of banking and insurance). laws vary

from state to state . where do you live? I live in NJ and happen to be a mental

health professional who works for an insurance company so I have direct

knowledge about these issues. If you want to provide anymore details or email me

directly I will be happy to see if I can help out.
