Why the Auto Insurance Company Will Not Pay Your Medical Bills

Your health insurance company may decline to pay for certain treatments. There is not much that you can do about that. Last month in Alabama, a man’s health insurance company would not pay for a surgery that he was told he needed in the emergency room. His health insurance company declined to approve the surgery. He returned to the emergency room, and he was told a second time that he had to have this surgery. Again, his health insurance company refused to approve the surgery. He then died. His widow sued his health insurance company, and the court held that they were protected under a federal law known as ERISA.
