Statement of Claim
Claimant says:
"Aflac sold my husband a Heart policy... Knowing that I had conditions called AFIB (Atrial Fibrillation) they said it was not part of the questions that we had to answer in the police process. Our agent then said for us to go ahead and try to submit a claim after I had to go in for surgery. Then it took them months to say that they had denied our claim. They had also changed a policy for accidental that we could have filed for as well. During surgery they hit an artery that caused damage to my left leg leaving me unable to walk for months. I had to do physical therapy for 7 almost 8 months. And am still in therapy for my abdomen. We have reached out and tried to get this problem handled ad nauseam and have had little to no help.

What can we do ? We would like our policy completely refunded!"

    Granting a policy after disclosing a pre-existing condition with an agent and the agent explicitly saying it did not impact the policy coupled with the questionnaire not requiring disclosure misleads a customer at a minimum and when a claim is denied that was previously asserted as covered--AFLAC should refund the policy or pay the claim plus costs More...

  • Question: by Jim Wicks (1782 points) — Former Atip Intern, Occasional Contributor And Moderator
  • On: 03-17-2017

  • To the claimant:  A few questions to make sure I understand —

    In purchasing this special Heart policy,  did you believe it covered surgery associated with AFIB?

    Was the agent an employee of AFLAC or an independent? — i.e., should your complaint be against the agent or the provider?

    In saying that your condition was not required info for establishing the policy, did the agent lead you to believe that it would be covered?

    What was involved in the change of the Accidental policy you mentioned?  What part of your expenses would that have covered and in what way was it changed?   Are you saying this would have given you some coverage if you had been aware of it?  Or it would have covered it had not been changed?

    Thanks.
