Share your story with us about health insurance company tricks!

Insurance companies can leave you without coverage when you need it most. But new laws are putting a stop to some of the worst insurance industry tricks that leave you with thousands in bills or worse – unable to get coverage.

Have you been turned down for coverage or left to pay out-of-pocket because of a “pre-existing condition”? Share your story with us.

Have you or a family member faced a limit on your benefits and the insurance company said they’d no longer pay claims? We want to hear  your story.

Insurance companies can make your coverage so difficult to understand that you’re afraid to go to the doctor. Have you been confused about what your plan actually covers?

In the past, in some states you couldn’t appeal an insurers decision to an outside expert. Have you ever had to accept your insurers coverage decision with no opportunity for an outside appeal?

And in some of the worst cases, we’ve heard of insurers dropping coverage for people after they were diagnosed with a major illness because they found a minor flaw in their initial application.

If you’ve experienced any of these issues with insurance companies we want to hear from  you.  Share your story below. 

Please provide your contact information (which we will not share with anyone) so we can learn more details about your story, if needed. Thank you for your input!
