American United Tactics In Denial of Disability Insurance Claims

American United Life Insurance Company is part of the OneAmerica group of insurance companies that includes The State Life Insurance Company and Pioneer Mutual Life Insurance Company. Unfortunately, like all insurance companies, American United has an unfortunate history of denied valid claims. American United’s tactics to deny or delay disability and other insurance benefits follow a familiar insurance industry playbook:

• Payouts that are less than what the policyholders were entitled to.
• Insufficient review of disability claims appeals.
• Using biased physicians to support bogus claim denials.
• Ignoring the opinions of primary care physician and other medical specialists who support your claim.

 

American United and other insurance companies often try to “wear down” policyholders like you in the hope that you will give up rather than fight for your benefits. If American United has tried one or more of these tactics on you, they may be trying to fraudulently deny your insurance claim:

• Repeatedly making burdensome requests for more and more documentation, which often duplicates documentation you already submitted;
• Downplaying medical evidence – including objective and subjective data – which supports the disability or entitlement to insurance benefits;
• Denying your claim because it is only supported by “subjective” evidence, even if the policy does not require “objective” evidence;
• Resorting to requesting so-called “independent” medical reviews by unqualified physicians or individuals;
• Lengthy delays in making a decision on a disability insurance claim.
