Colorado Elder Law: Health, Disability, & Long-Term Care Insurance

Insurance, including heath, disability, and long-term care, is a major expense that few of us can afford not to have. However, often the real question is not whether our clients have insurance, but whether it is appropriate to meet their needs. The next problem faced by insured individuals is how to properly file claims and defend their rights if a denial of coverage is issued by the carrier.

At Chayet & Danzo, LLC, our attorneys can understand the fine print of your insurance policies and can help you maximize the benefits you are paying for and protect your rights in the event of a denial.

Short-term and long-term disability insurance policies have very specific points that trigger coverage and to maintain coverage an injured or disabled individual must follow the procedures exactly. This dance in benefit coverage occurs during what is often the most challenging period in a client’s life and health. Our attorneys can help you or your loved one overcome the maze of deadlines and paperwork so that you can focus on recovery and not how your care or monthly expenses are being paid.

If your private benefits are from policies and plans you participated in through a former employer, you may have rights to privately pay for a continuation of the same benefits for a period of time under the COBRA provisions. However, there are strict deadlines for opting into these elections. Our attorneys can help you to understand the options and do a cost analysis of electing to continue coverage.
