Obtain Information about Pre-existing Condition Provisions in New York
January 11, 2008 – Attention New York Customers and Others Insured for Long Term Disability Benefits Under Sun Life Group Insurance Policies Issued in New York:
If you or someone in your company was denied disability benefits because of a pre-existing condition under the above type of policy, a recent New York Court of Appeals decision may be of interest to you.
As a result of a recent court case in New York, a pre-existing condition provision in a long term disability policy is now viewed as a waiting period and not a complete bar for coverage of those disabilities that arise within the first 12 months of coverage.
If you are or were covered under a group insurance policy that provides long term disability benefits that is or was issued in New York by one of the companies listed below, and were denied long term disability benefits due to a pre-existing condition provision during the period of June 28, 2004 to June 27, 2007, please contact us in writing at:
