Eating disorders, such as anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa, are very serious diseases. Anorexia has the highest mortality rate of any psychiatric disorder, and suicide is one of the leading causes of death for anorexic patients. We have substantial experience fighting insurance companies that have denied coverage for eating disorder treatment, including inpatient treatment, partial hospitalization treatment and residential treatment. Scott Glovsky has spoken at the National Eating Disorder Association’s Annual Conferences in New York City and Austin, Texas.
We brought national attention to the fight against insurance companies for denying care for eating disorder patients in the case of Janell Smith. The case was featured on the major networks including CNN and CBS. Mr. Glovsky appeared live with Janell’s parents on The Early Show from New York City. Click here to learn about the story. If your insurance company refuses to pay for your or a loved one’s eating disorder treatment, please contact us.
