The diagnosis of a severe medical condition may result in an inability to work for a long period of time while you undergo treatment. During your treatment and recovery, long-term disability benefits may be available.
In a report from Health Day, a new study finds that obese colon cancer patients are at an increased risk of surgical site infection. Whether the surgery was a partial or complete removal of the colon, there is a 60% greater chance for an infection.
Along with the issue of treating the infection, this also leads to an increased expense in the procedure itself. The study found that while the average cost for this type of surgery was about $14,608, those who developed a surgical site infection found their cost to rise to about $31,933.
Additionally, patients who developed a surgical site infection had a higher chance of hospital readmission.
If you have been diagnosed with colon cancer or any other severe type of health condition and you are no longer able to work, you may need to speak with a Deerfield Beach long-term disability attorney. An attorney can assist you with the process of applying for disability benefits or appealing a claim that has been denied.
Long-term disability benefits may be available to those who have purchased a disability plan from a private insurer or have coverage through an employer. Unfortunately, the insurers don't make it easy for the disabled to get access to the benefits they deserve. When a severe medical condition makes it impossible for you to work and you've been denied your long-term disability benefits, an attorney from LaVan & Neidenberg, P.A. can help you to cut through the red tape and fight for your benefits, no matter where you live in the U.S!
