A Widespread Problem

The unscrupulous practice of putting profit over human health is nothing new for Unum, the world’s largest provider of disability insurance. A 2004 investigation determined the practice began as early as 1994, and a CBS 60 Minutes report revealed the company established a quota for denied claims and actually offered incentives to employees who denied valid claims from policyholders.

Thanks to court actions, Unum has been hit with stiff penalties, forced to reassess denied claims and ordered to pay back some of the policyholders who were wrongly denied service.

While Unum is particularly notorious for its irresponsible behavior, it is not the only company that has wrongly denied benefits to policyholders. Any company that engages in such activity is in violation of the law and should be held accountable in court.
