FOLSOM, Calif. - TelAve -- A new website launch, CriticalIllnessClaimHelp.com, is a specialized educational and advocacy platform dedicated to helping policyholders understand, file, and appeal critical illness insurance claims (also known as "Living Benefits" or "Accelerated Death Benefits").

The site is an independent resource providing unbiased information to empower consumers against complex insurance industry practices.

Key Areas of Focus:

• Understanding Critical Illness Riders: The site explains that these are often "add-ons" to life insurance policies that pay a lump sum upon diagnosis of conditions like cancer, heart attack, or stroke. It clarifies that exercising this claim often reduces or cancels the policy's final death benefit.
• The Claim Calculation Process: A major focus of the site is demystifying the "debits and credits" approach insurers use. It explains how factors like "loss of premium," "anticipated mortality," and "life expectancy impact" can lead to offers that are significantly lower than expected—or even zero.
• Fighting Denials and Low Offers: The website provides strategies for appealing unfair claim offers. It highlights the "60-day rule," where claimants often have a limited window to accept or lose an offer, and outlines how to build a case using medical records and life expectancy studies.
• Contestability and Investigations: It warns policyholders about the two-year "contestability period," during which insurers may thoroughly investigate medical history to find reasons to rescind a policy based on application errors.
• Professional Advocacy: The site advocates for using claim experts rather than lawyers to resolve disputes. It suggests that expert negotiation is often faster and more cost-effective than litigation for securing a full payout.

Notable Resources:

• Step-by-Step Guides: Detailed instructions on how to handle a diagnosis, what to look for in an offer letter, and how to structure a claim appeal.
• Educational Articles: Insights into specific illnesses (like cancer or major organ failure) and how modern medical advances are changing how insurers evaluate life expectancy.
• Free Consultations: The platform offers access to Critical Illness Claims experts life Stephen C. Burgess.

In essence, the website acts as a technical guide and advocate for individuals who find themselves overwhelmed by the complicated terminology and investigative tactics of insurance companies during a health crisis.
