Iam waiting for a comp hearing an atena refuses to pay short term dis, now they are tellin me that i can use my ins, for the hip replacement, I know fmla is coming to an end, an will not have the surgury with out being paid short term dis, or untill worker comp acepts my claim,
I am just waiting for termination,cobra,to happen, they are not going to screw me any more, i am down to my last dollars an not going to be laying up with my leg cut of an have the bank tell me they are forclosing on my house,
my lawyer has already threated them with a bad faith law suit, at that point they told me to refile my claim,an send all the medical records ,i told them they already have them,so now i am waiting for the avaluation of records before they will pay my claim,bout 3 months now, an they are still playing this medical record game with me,
I think i will start recording all conversation with them, just tell them that “this conversation may be recorded” just to give me an extra bullit when i have a bad faith suit

ATTEN SUX!

Like JACE, we have been completely screwed over by Aetna and LSI – JACE and anyone, please contact me regardin a lawsuit against AETNA and LSI. LSI said they would gain pre=approval in writing and never did it. I think we may be able to help each other.

Aetna claimed that I did NOT need preapproval for my out-patient back surgery at Laser Spine Institute (did not say anything about it being experimental surgery). We paid CASH up front @ $30,000.00,and were denied the claim months later because Aetna deemed the operation to be experimental. NO help from LSI either and I’m sure they knew what the outcome was going to be. I got ###### BAD! Time to wake up people because it is only going to get worse.

Aetna does suck. I went on Short Term disability leave from my job for major spine surgery. Two days after my surgery, Aetna cancelled my insurance without my knowledge. I am to have Therapy, which they refuse to pay for. I still have another surgery I need. Due to them, I can not get them to pay for my disability leave pay which all I have to survive on, a whole $492 a month. And now they want me to pay them $414 a month for Cobra insurance. Thanks to them, I will be homeless and disabled for the rest of my life. Fed UP with Aetna, Lydia from Illinois
