Did you go back to work and are now experiencing back pain again? Or did they just all of a sudden deny your benefits??

Benefits are based on medical documentation. If you go for an assessment and your doctor deems you are fine then the benefits will stop.

Your insurance company won't hide anything from you, just call them up and ask them why they stopped the benefits, they will explain it to you.

thank you for ignoring all my questions, makes it easier for me to help you.

WHY did they stop treatment?

Have you ASKED your insurance company to reopen your claim? They will have you go for an assessment to determine if you still need treatment.

Sorry miss_ jess..

Did you go back to work and are now experiencing back pain again? Or did they just all of a sudden deny your benefits??

yes, I went back to work after three weeks, and on and off for a couple days after the third week ( almost a year ago..). They paid my loss income and still cont'd to pay my health benefits. Around 9 months after, they stopped my health benefits which i didnt know about it because I missed my physio for for a month and a half due to busy sched. But, when I came back to my physio, the insurance told me they stoped my health benefits because they think that I'm OK. I complained that my back pain and it was worse so they have to reopen the case. But now, they told I have to go to the assessement in feb which took them 2 months to book. cancelled my physio for almost two months now and still experiencing back pains...

Well if you're injured, there is no such thing as a busy schedule to get the treatment you need. If you're too busy to get treatment then you're not injured.

If your insurance company already told you that you need to go for assessment, then what exactly is your question here. You know how to get your claim reopened and how to recieve your benefits again.

Best of luck getting them back, if/when you start to recieve them again, just a note of advice, don't miss any appointments.

I'm sure he was just joking.... but looking at it in a non bias way, you missed a month of treatment, when you were injured, how much pain can you be in if you were willing to miss it............ right?

Anyways, go for the assessments, your insurance company will open up your claim again if the assessments show you still need treatment. If they come back saying you are fine, hire a lawyer.
