In preparation for the upcoming Greater New York Dental Meeting, disability attorney Jason Newfield went into the studio for an interview focusing on the issues dentists, orthodontists, periodontists and other dental professionals face when they need to file a claim for long term disability benefits. With interviewer Shari Peyser, Jason Newfield dived into the issues facing dentists – very popular with long term disability companies when being sold a policy, not at all popular when they file a claim. How can you protect your claim? Dentists should talk with Jason Newfield to learn about their policy before filing a claim, when there’s time to prepare for the inevitable challenges. Think your claim is different? Check out this recent case, where an oral surgeon, 51, was denied by Northwestern Mutual after two years of trying to get benefits on his own.
