    RBC Insurance Denials

    Overturning RBC Insurance Denials

    RBC Insurance denies disability claims using many of the same tactics as larger insurers. If your RBC disability benefits were denied or cut off, our team knows how to respond effectively.

    Common RBC Insurance Denial Reasons

    • "You are able to perform modified duties" based on limited assessments
    • 24-month change of definition from own to any occupation
    • "Lack of ongoing medical evidence" despite treatment
    • Reliance on independent medical exams over treating doctors
    • Pre-existing condition exclusions applied retroactively

    RBC Insurance's Tactics

    RBC Insurance frequently:

    • Uses in-house reviewers to override treating physician opinions
    • Requests repetitive medical updates to create administrative burden
    • Schedules IMEs with physicians who frequently deny claims
    • Applies restrictive interpretations of policy definitions
    • Uses return-to-work pressure tactics

    How We Fight Back

    • Counter IME reports with independent medical reviews
    • Build detailed functional limitation evidence
    • Challenge change of definition denials with vocational evidence
    • File appeals with comprehensive supporting documentation
    • Litigate when RBC Insurance acts in bad faith
