Ep 460: My Insurance Claim Was Denied — What Can I Actually Do?
This week we’re tackling the complexities of the insurance system with Jay Feinman, author of Delay, Deny, Defend: Why Insurance Companies Don’t Pay Claims and What You Can Do About It. We dive into the recent, shocking murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson and how it brought our collective frustrations with the health insurance industry into sharp focus. And in Mailbag, Jean and Kathryn tackle a listener’s question about long-term care insurance. Is a whole-life policy with a long-term care rider the right choice, or is a standalone policy better?
