Pre-Existing Condition Provision Barred Claim For Long-Term Disability Benefits

HARRISBURG, Pa. - A Pennsylvania federal judge on June 19 determined that a disability insurer's denial of long-term disability (LTD) benefits was not arbitrary and capricious because the policy included a pre-existing condition exclusion that clearly precluded coverage to the claimant (Yvonne Hilbert v. The Lincoln National Life Insurance Co., 15-471, M.D. Pa., 2017 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 93424).
