’60 Minutes’ Features Psych-Appeal Client

The investigative news program “60 Minutes” has examined the alarming frequency with which health insurance companies refuse mental health treatment claims—and the story features one of Psych-Appeal’s clients. The segment aired the evening before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit will consider whether employees with mental illness can directly sue health insurers who deny their claims rather than the employers who sponsor their benefits.

An insightful and powerful report, we commend those featured in this story for their courage in speaking publicly about the denials they experienced.
