Calif. AG to rejection of medical claims


LOS ANGELES — California Attorney General Jerry Brown is looking into claims that the state's top health insurers reject about 20 percent of medical claims.
In a statement, Brown says substitute in his office are launching an independent research because a high denial rate advises the system itself is nonadaptive.
AG spokesman Scott Gerber says the research comes on the heels of a Los Angeles Times report that the state's largest health insurers reject up to 39.6 percent of claims.
California Association of Health Plans spokeswoman Nicole Kasabian Evans told the Times that health plans stay by contracts and there are logical reasons to deny claims.
