Bridging the Gap in Appeal Assistance
Many claimants are discouraged to hear that their disability or life insurance appeal case is either too small or too uncertain to qualify for contingent fee, “only pay if we win,” representation. But no case is too small for the person who is counting on that benefit. Many of these claims can be successful with some guidance on how to properly develop the appeal. Unfortunately, claimants who did not qualify for contingent fee representation often had nowhere else to turn to get the help they needed. The only winner in that situation is the insurance company who avoids paying a valid claim.
Insurance Appeal Consultants bridges this gap. By offering free and affordable guidance, our goal is simple. We ensure that every claimant who wants to appeal a wrongful disability or life insurance denial has access to the information and assistance they need to do so successfully.

Experience, Dedication and Empathy
Prior to managing disability and life insurance appeals, Ellen served for 20 years in the US Navy and Navy Reserves as an intelligence officer. She began her active duty career as the squadron intelligence officer for one of the only tactical aviation squadrons open to women at the time, in Key West, FL. Ellen retired from the Navy Reserves after serving with the US Defense Attache Office in Moscow, Russia as an assistant US Naval Attache. She collected many sea stories at varied assignments in between.
A two-time cancer survivor, Ellen understands all too well what it means to be blindsided by a period of disability. She is passionate about helping others who are also facing some of the biggest, most unexpected challenges of their lives. Not surprisingly, the analytical and planning skills crucial for military success also apply to battling insurance companies. Ellen is dedicated to fighting back against wrongful disability and life insurance denials by giving clients clear, practical, affordable guidance – and their best possible shot at a winning insurance appeal.
