Outrageous Application of the “Congenital Condition” Exception to Deny Claim

Claim for healthy 9-year-old dachshund’s hernia surgery denied as resulting congenital condition. This male dog had one undescended testicle as a puppy. Neutering surgery required both traditional procedure and abdominal incision. It has been 8 years since the original neutering, and the site of the hernia is not far from the old incision, but is not ON it.. Nonetheless, the claim for surgery was denied on the basis of the undescended testicle. This is too attenuated to be plausible, particularly since the same insurance PAID for the neutering. Beyond disappointed. Appealed without result.

Couldn't do it without you!

The BEST thing I could have done for my baby! She unexpectedly needed 2 surgeries in the last 2 years and I was so happy I was helped out.
