Disability Insurer Acted Arbitrarily, Capriciously In Terminating Benefits

DENVER - A disability insurer acted arbitrarily and capriciously in failing to request additional evidence from a disability claimant and in failing to conduct an independent medical exam because there was evidence suggesting that the claimant was still disabled when the insurer terminated her benefits, a Colorado federal magistrate judge said April 25 in recommending that the insurer's denial of benefits be reversed (Julia Mark v. Aetna Life Insurance Co., et al., No. 17-441, D. Colo., 2018 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 69561).
