OB-GYN Disability Claim Lawyers

Obstetricians and gynecologists, commonly referred to as OB-GYNs, are medical professionals who specialize in women's health, particularly in pregnancy, childbirth, and disorders of the reproductive system.

As an OB-GY you perform medical procedures and surgeries as well as provide clinical care to your patients. In many situations, you are responsible for the life of your patient and the life of their unborn child. IF you are no longer able to perform procedures and surgery and deliver babies, it is possible you qualify for disability insurance benefits through your disability insurance policy.

Overview of Disability Claims for OB-GYN Professionals

Like other medical professionals, OB-GYNs can face a range of medical conditions or injuries that prevent them performing the core duties of their occupation.

Some of these can include but are not limited to:

• Musculoskeletal injuries or back and neck pain
• Chronic pain
• Mental health and emotional stress
• Chronic migraines or headaches
• Cardiovascular disease
• Cognitive impairment

OB-GYNs typically have "own occupation" disability insurance. This type of insurance offers coverage if you cannot perform the specific duties of your specialty due to disability, even if you can work in another capacity within the medical field.

For instance, if an OB-GYN develops a musculoskeletal disorder that prevents them from performing surgeries and procedures but allows them to teach or do administrative tasks, they will still qualify for these benefits.

Claim Denials

Medical professionals who file disability claims may face denials by disability insurance companies, which can create obstacles and challenges. Insurance companies are profit-driven, and minimizing payouts is part of their strategy.

Insurers often use tactics to avoid paying on claims, such as asserting that the claimant is not totally disabled from doing their occupational duties, , that it does not meet the definition of disability, that contradictions exist in your documentation, that you have presented insufficient medical evidence, and more.

For example, the insurer will likely request your CPT codes and billing to undermine your work duties and inability to perform the material and substantial duties of your occupation as an OB-GYN. These companies routinely conduct thorough investigations seeking any excuse or reason to deny or delay the claims process.
