One Stop Shopping

 Robinson’s 7-year-old son, Bailey, suffered from adrenoleukodystrophy, a rare genetic disorder affecting the brain, portrayed in the movie “Lorenzo’s Oil.” The Robinsons say their insurance company refused to pay for $200,000 worth of medical bills. The company stamped “denied” on bill after bill, refusing to pay for countless medical services right up until the day Bailey died in 2005. The Robinsons are not alone. Tales of frustration with insurers abound. In an Internet survey that included 1,000 consumers, nearly one out of four said he or she had had a legitimate claim denied by their health insurance, according to PNC Financial Services Group.

“I don’t make a lot of money,” says Robinson, a paramedic. “There’s no way I could pay $200,000 out of my pocket.” But in the end, the Robinsons didn’t have to. They managed to reverse nearly all the insurance company’s denials. How’d they do it?

Here are some lessons from a family that’s been there:

1. Get help Your doctor, hospital business office, and employee benefits office can be a lot more powerful than you are. Robinson used all of these, plus a non-profit group called the Patient Advocate Foundation, which employs 72 case managers to help people work out insurance issues.

2. Be persistent “Appeal again and again and again,” says Robinson. “You may go through three or four levels of appeals before you get a favorable resolution,” says Nancy Davenport-Ennis, co-founder of the Patient Advocate Foundation.

3. Use the right words Certain words will trigger a denial, according to patient advocacy groups. For example, sometimes insurance companies refuse to pay for surgeries related to cleft lip or palate, saying it’s not medically necessary. When parents appeal saying the child needs the surgery for “cosmetic” reasons or to “enhance esteem,” the appeal often fails, according to cleftAdvocate, a group that works with families. Appeals that mention problems with “biting,” “chewing,” or “swallowing” are more likely to work.

4. Ask your doctor to try again Often a tweak in paperwork will change everything. For example, Bailey Robinson took one drug for two purposes: It improved the effectiveness of his chemotherapy, and it helped his anemia. The insurance company refused to pay for it as part of his chemo. When the doctor re-filed the request mentioning anemia, it worked.

5. You may need a lawyer Steps one to four helped the Robinsons, but in the end, it was the threat of a lawsuit (with lawyers cc’d on the letter) that clinched it. “When they started putting ‘Esquire’ behind the names, that seemed to seal the deal,” Robinson said.

The most important tool a patient can have is the will to keep going, Davenport-Ennis of the Patient Advocate Foundation says. Her organization, which helps patients appeal tens of thousands of denials a year, says it gets those denials reversed 94 percent of the time.
