The subtle art of dodging rejection from a bunch of suited robots.
Denied Claim? Righto, here’s the deal, if your claims been denied, don’t just sit there staring at the rejection letter like it’s a bad Tinder match wondering where it all went wrong. This is when you call in the lawyer. Yep, the big guns. Because sometimes, that claims not going to roll through nicely it’s got to be pushed, shoved or politely escorted through court with a well dressed legal eagle leading the way.
Lock in a lawyer or finance balance sheet beast from day one, future you will send a thank you card
(and maybe a pack of Tim Tams)
Why? Because let’s be honest, half of us couldn’t fill out a Medicare rebate form without having a breakdown, let alone navigate the wild world of insurance. You need the right medical evidence (and no, a note from your cousin who’s a “healer” doesn’t count).
We're talking specialists, test results, timeline of diagnosis, functional capacity assessments the works.
Claims get denied for the dumbest reasons: wrong dates, missing pages, forms filled out with the wrong coloured pen (we wish we were joking) or just a GP who forgot to say you’re permanently disabled instead of just a bit “unwell.”
A lawyer makes sure the ducks are in a row, the forms don’t contradict each other and the evidence actually backs your story not the insurer’s “nice try mate” pile. Faster, cleaner, better chance of approval and way fewer headaches. Think of them as your claim’s GPS, steering you away from Denial ville and straight to Payout Central.
