Mental Health Insurance Claim

Meiram's background and experience make him uniquely qualified to help families coping with mental health insurance issues. He is a very strategic thinker with a deep understanding of both the mental health system and mental health insurance industry. He was always very prompt, clear, and direct in... his communications. He has a strong understanding of what levers to push and when during negotiations. We are very happy with the process and outcome.

Medical Claims Denied by Insurance

Our insurance company denied our daughter's medical claims for mental health services. Her doctor's and therapists highly recommended treatment. We decided to pay for her treatment ourselves, not knowing if we would ever receive reimbursement. Luckily, we found Meiram Bendat. He immediately unde...rstood the complexities and nuances of the situation; he is an expert in mental health parity law. He got in touch with the appropriate parties, conducted settlement discussions professionally, and achieved a favorable settlement outside of court. Needless to say, we are thrilled. Not only because of the financial reimbursement we received, but because, through his assistance, together, we were able to raise awareness of the misconduct of the insurance company. Thank you again, Meiram!

Excellent Attorney

We hired Attorney Bendat during a very difficult time in our lives. Everything we were dealing with was new and quite frankly, frightening. From the moment we hired Attorney Bendat, that all changed. Not only did he win everything, he did so while keeping me informed at every turn. I am an Attorney ...and that offers me a unique vantage point, I can say with complete certainty that if you find yourself in a position to need his services, you will not regret hiring him.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
