Practice Areas Description

- Health Insurance

The Los Angeles Law Offices of Stephenson, Acquisto & Colman (SAC) has become well known as skilled healthcare attorneys who protect the legal rights of healthcare providers, as well as patients who have had their claims for reimbursement wrongfully denied.

- Health Insurance Coverage

The problems that people encounter when filing health insurance claims can be due to health insurance coverage gaps, policy limitations, policy holders' expectations, eligibility, incorrect or unclear medical treatment records and/or the company's interpretation of their obligations under the terms of the policy.

- Health Insurance Claim Denial

Health insurance claims are denied for a wide range of reasons; some of those reasons are valid and other times, claims denials can be the result of stringent efforts by health insurance companies to maximize profits by refusing claims reimbursement, whenever possible.

- Bad Faith

Bad faith is the legal term that applies to situations when insurance companies do not live up to the terms of their policies and they unreasonably deny claims or delay payment to their policyholders. When that occurs, Californians contact the Los Angeles Law Offices of Stephenson, Acquisto & Colman (SAC).

- Options For Uninsured/Under insured People

One of the most recent changes in healthcare options for people has been the passage of the Affordable Care Act, which was dubbed Obamacare after being signed into law by President Obama. This law was designed to provide options for under insured and uninsured people.

- Third Party Liability Claim

When individuals are hospitalized and incur medical charges as a result of injuries sustained in accidents that were not job related, these incidents create third party recovery rights through liens. In some cases, contracts and capitation agreements can allow healthcare providers to pursue third parties to obtain reimbursement for full charges. However, third party medical billing can be confusing and any errors made during this process can be difficult to correct. If problems occur, you could be liable because some medical providers find it to be easier to resolve third party medical billing problems by pursuing the patients.

- Victims Of Crime Reimbursement

The legal professionals at the Law Offices of Stephenson, Acquisto & Colman (SAC) are dedicated victims' advocates. This page includes information from the California Victim Compensation Program (CalVCP) website, which may be helpful for victims of crime who are seeking compensation.

- Insurance Rescission

Cancellation of a policy, or rescission, can occur regardless of whether policyholders have been making timely premium payments. There has been an increase in incidents that involve health insurance companies that drop policyholders citing nondisclosure of a preexisting condition after the insured has a medical emergency, or was diagnosed with a potentially costly medical condition such as cancer.

- Insurance Policy Cancellation Law

Sometimes, health insurance companies give policyholders outdated and/or incorrect information concerning preferred providers, their policy's coverage guidelines or the company's procedures. Regardless of what you think your situation may involve or which course of action is the most appropriate for your case, you need to be certain before incurring the time and expense that can be associated with a health insurance claim dispute.
