Is Your Claim’s Adjuster Refusing to Approve Your Treatment?
After any sort of accident that results in injuries, you might find yourself having to deal with an insurance company. This means that you will also have to deal with an insurance adjuster. Unfortunately, claims adjusters are not the easiest to deal with. They can often fail to cooperate and make the claims process very difficult.

Why Would Insurance Adjusters Refuse to Approve Medical Treatment?
Do any of the statements listed below apply to you and your insurance claim?
- My adjuster is refusing to approve my medical treatment.
- My adjuster is refusing to pay my doctor visit, including my MRI and X-rays.
- My adjuster is refusing to pay my hospital costs, my ER costs, or my Urgent Care visit costs.
- My adjuster is refusing to approve my surgery, my therapy, or my chiro care.
- My adjuster is refusing to approve my pain killers, my pills, my drugs, my back pain medication, etc.
- My adjuster is refusing to approve my Ortho appointment or my pain management doctor visit.
Why do insurance adjusters sometimes refuse to approve medical treatment? Although refusing to approve treatment can significantly delay the treatment and actually result in injuries to worsen, adjusters will often refuse to approve or authorize medical treatment just so that they can draw out the claims process as long as possible.
Perhaps the most important thing that you claimants should know is that insurance companies DO NOT want to pay claims; they don’t want to pay medical treatment, so they will simply refuse to approve treatment. Every time that insurance companies pay for medical treatment, they are losing money. To lessen their losses, they might resort to tricks.
Although some insurance companies will shamelessly deny claims, others will not outright deny them. Instead, they will deny certain aspects of the claim (i.e., they will refuse to approve medical treatment). This will needlessly delay the entire process. In most cases, claimants become frustrated and simply fail to follow up – looking elsewhere for medical care. They might also withdraw their claims entirely.
Failing to approve medical treatment is just another tactic to avoid paying out claims and providing claimants with the coverage that they are owed. If the insurance adjuster is denying coverage, you might have grounds to sue with the help of an expert injury attorney.

The Problem with Denied Medical Treatment
If the insurance adjuster refuses to acknowledge that a specific injury occurred in your accident and fails to approve medical treatment for said injury, then the doctor treating you will not treat that specific injury (even if other treatment has already been approved). Although the doctor should definitely treat all of your injuries associated with the incident, they will not perform treatment that has not already been approved by the insurance company in fear that they will not be paid. – it’s as simple as that.
However, the doctors working with your insurance company are not the only ones that could treat you. There are plenty of doctors that are willing to work on lien (i.e., they will get paid once your case settles). If you decide to work with a lawyer, your lawyer can connect you with doctors that can get started on your medical care right away.
Your Right to Sue
As briefly mentioned above, a lawyer could help you get the medical treatment that your insurance company is refusing to cover. Why would you need a lawyer? Insurance companies have a duty to handle all insurance claims fairly. That is, insurance claims should be approved within reason. If your insurance company is unfairly denying your entire claim or unfairly denying all or part of your treatment, you could sue them with the help of an experienced lawyer. A lawyer could help you file a lawsuit against the insurance company to ensure that you are fairly compensated.
