Gary Samms and Dan Finegan Successfully Persuade a Major Health Insurer to Reverse Policy

Gary Samms and Dan Finegan succeeded in persuading a major health insurer to reverse policy and provide insurance coverage on a claim previously denied to a gentleman who was diagnosed with glioblastoma. Samms and Finegan persuaded the carrier the Proton Based Radiation Therapy was the only appropriate treatment that could be of assistance. The provider had disclaimed coverage asserting the treatment was not necessary, safe, or proven. The patient is now receiving the therapy he needs.
