What is the name of your state? Michigan
In January 2008, I filed a claim for postpartum depression against my short term disability policy. Under limitations and exclusions, it state "..complications of pregnancy will be covered to the same extent as a sickness" Later on in limitations and exclusions, it states "Becoming Totally Disabled due to any of the following: neurosis, psychoneurosis,psychopathy, psychosis, or mental or emotional disease or disorder. ” Being that postpartum depression is a very prevalent complication of pregnancy, shouldn't this be covered as a complication of pregnancy? When I contacted the insurance company, they stated that postpartum depression was not a complication of pregnancy. Please advise.What is the name of your state?
