Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company (MassMutual) is based in Springfield, MA. The 160 year-old company sells various disability insurance plans. The company also markets annuities, retirement and long term care plans, and other financial products.
Mass Mutual has a large individual Disability Income (DI) insurance market. Many physicians, dentists, finance executives, business owners and other career individuals are MassMutual policy owners.
Other MassMutual policies are regulated by Federal ERISA law because they are part of an employee group benefits package.
For high earners who have group disability benefits through their employer, yet need additional coverage, MassMutual offers supplemental individual DI insurance. This supplemental insurance may be provided through the employer or professional association.
MassMutual is a “mutual” company, meaning it is owned by policyholders (not shareholders). Mutual companies are not publically traded, as a “stock company” would be. One purpose of being a mutual company is to guarantee its policyholders and members have a voice within the company, and confidence of long term access to their insurance benefits.
But like so many other insurance providers, Mass Mutual sometimes fails to pay disability insurance benefits on valid claims. If your Mass Mutual Disability income claim was denied or terminated unreasonably, our attorneys will help you take swift legal action to get the benefits you deserve.
Legal Issues with Mass Mutual Disability Income Claims
Like many insurers, Mass Mutual has engaged in various bad faith insurance actions, in order to be more profitable financially. These actions may include
- questioning your credibility (rather than disputing the facts)
- arbitrarily denying benefits under own-occupation disability policy
- repeatedly losing records and other claim-related documents you have sent to Mass Mutual
- claims handlers misinterpreting medical findings
- relying on policy language that is confusing and complex, making it difficult for you to meet Mass Mutual’s definition of “disabled”
- using third party medical exams to override or dismiss your treating physician’s records and opinions
- wrongly classifying your complex physical disorder as a mental / nervous condition – drastically reducing benefit payments to 24 months or less
- various other methods in which the company does not give your claim a fair and objective claim review, to further in their own financial interests.
