We are proud to see our founder and managing partner, Edward P. Dabdoub, featured in Medscape Medical News following his presentation at the IACFS/ME 2025 conference. ME/CFS and long COVID disability claims present unique challenges, especially when insurers dismiss them as “subjective.” As Eddie explains, success requires detailed medical documentation, objective testing when possible, and a comprehensive legal strategy that anticipates insurer tactics. These claims are difficult, but when handled the right way, they can be won. Follow the link below to read the full article.

If your disability insurance company has scheduled an “Independent Medical Examination,” it’s important to understand what’s really happening. Despite the name, these exams are rarely independent and are often used by insurers to justify denying or terminating benefits.

Our latest article outlines five critical do’s and don’ts to protect your rights before, during, and after an IME:
- Review your policy to confirm whether an IME is permitted.
- Request detailed information about the doctor and the purpose of the exam.
- Communicate with the insurer in writing and keep a record of all correspondence.
- Take detailed notes immediately after the exam and go straight home — insurers often conduct surveillance.
- Consult our experienced disability attorneys before and after your IME.

If your long-term disability claim has been denied, you still have options. The appeal stage is your best opportunity to present new evidence, correct errors, and strengthen your case. But it’s also a complex and time-sensitive process governed by strict ERISA rules.

Here are a few key takeaways:
- Act quickly. Most policies allow only 180 days to submit an appeal.
- Request and review your complete claim file to understand the insurer’s reasoning.
- Strengthen your record with updated medical reports and expert evaluations.
- Submit your appeal in writing as ERISA requires it.
- Work with an experienced disability insurance attorney who understands this process.
