Tenzing Client Case Studies

From Denial to Approval

A Broker's Success in a Lapsed Group Policy Scenario

Client Profile
  • Client Type: Group Health Insurance Policy
  • Industry: Marketing Agency
  • Policy Provider: Liberty Vietnam
Directors and Officers insurance
Overview

A dynamic marketing agency, a valued group client, unfortunately overlooked the renewal deadline for their health insurance policy. This administrative oversight occurred during a particularly demanding project for the company. Tragically, shortly after the policy lapsed, one of their talented staff members required an urgent and significant surgery, estimated at 60,000,000 VND.

The initial claim submitted for this critical procedure was understandably denied by Liberty Vietnam due to the policy being inactive at the time of the medical event. This news created significant distress for both the employee and the agency, facing a substantial and unexpected medical bill.

Recognizing the gravity of the situation and the potential impact on her client, their dedicated insurance broker, Ellie from Tenzing Pacific Services, stepped in to advocate on their behalf.

Claim Outcome

Despite the clear terms of the policy and the missed premium payment, Ellie diligently reviewed the situation and engaged in extensive discussions with Liberty Vietnam. She highlighted the agency’s previous consistent payment history, their otherwise strong relationship as a client, and the significant hardship the denied claim would impose on their valued employee.

Through persistent negotiation and a thorough presentation of the circumstances, Ellie successfully persuaded Liberty Vietnam to reconsider their initial decision. Ultimately, the insurance company agreed to cover the 60,000,000 VND surgery, demonstrating a willingness to consider extenuating circumstances when presented effectively.

This favorable outcome, achieved through Ellie’s dedicated advocacy, provided immense relief to the employee and the marketing agency, averting a major financial burden.

Key Takeaways
  • The Critical Importance of Timely Premium Payments: This case underscores the fundamental responsibility of ensuring insurance premiums are paid on time to maintain continuous coverage and avoid potential claim denials.
  • The Indispensable Value of a Broker Who Advocates: Ellie’s proactive intervention and persistent efforts were instrumental in achieving a positive outcome that the client likely could not have secured on their own. A dedicated broker acts as a crucial advocate in navigating complex insurance matters.
  • Navigating the Grey Areas, The Power of Broker Expertise: Insurance policies can sometimes involve grey areas or extenuating circumstances. An experienced broker possesses the knowledge and negotiation skills to present a case effectively and potentially achieve favorable results, even when a direct claim might be denied.
  • Building Strong Broker-Client Relationships: Ellie’s commitment to her client highlights the importance of a strong, trusting relationship with an insurance broker who understands your needs and is willing to go the extra mile.

Important Note: While this case shows a positive resolution, outcomes for missed premiums aren’t always favorable.
