Dean Kropp

Health Insurance

All of us understand the need for accident insurance, and we have debated the merits of various hospitalization and disability plans. We all assume that with our insurance comes the peace of mind knowing that if something happens to us, we are covered with our insurance. But what if our assumptions are wrong? What if we have an accident, the insurance companies do everything they can so as not to pay our claim? Could that happen? It can and does. Joining the show is author of "A Bone to Pick", Dean Kropp.

After receiving serious back injuries in an auto accident, Kropp spent seven painful years attempting to have his health benefits covered, first by his auto insurance, GEICO; then by his health insurance; and finally by the government. “A Bone to Pick” bares the fraudulent insurance practices meant to deny honest claims for the coverage an injured person needs to heal and recover. As an advocate for fair insurance practices, Dean Kropp has forged the Declaration of Injured Persons’ Rights to band the public together as a force to fight back against deceitful insurance practices.

Kropp’s caveat, “A Bone to Pick”, forewarns unwitting accident victims, who count on these agencies to pay for the services meant to heal and compensate them, how to navigate the maze of courtrooms, doctors, attorneys and insurance agencies to ensure they receive their deserved benefits. There is little consequence for insurance companies that deny legitimate claims for the sole purpose of attempting to avoid their contractually obligated payment to the policyholder. Dean Kropp is fighting the uphill battle for fair compensation for all.
