In short
- These sources show no outside medical review for disability claims.
- TDI's path is simple: talk to the firm, then file with TDI.
- TDI can't force a payout, unless skipping it breaks the law or your policy.
What this means
These sources don't name an outside medical review for disability claims. The outside route here is a complaint to the state insurance department. Start with the company first: TDI says you can resolve many issues by talking to your insurance company or agent [1].
Then file the complaint. TDI handles complaints against the companies, agents and adjusters it regulates. Its online system lets you upload the papers you think it needs [1].
Know the limits before you file. TDI cannot make a company pay a claim, unless not paying breaks a law or the policy's own terms. It also cannot settle a dispute over the facts [1]. After you file, TDI contacts the company and asks for a response — companies have 15 days to answer, and can ask for 10 more [1].
Your next step
File the TDI complaint online. The company then has 15 days to respond, and it can ask for 10 more [1].
Check it yourself
Read Steps 1 to 4 on TDI's other-insurance complaints page. They show what TDI does with your complaint after you file.
