Add Comment Question: 34-year-old female from Alberta. I had a pregnancy-related heart attack 3 years ago but a year after that I had to get an LVAD(left ventricular assisted device). I have a little pump next to my heart that pumps my blood and a cord that comes out of my belly that it hooks up to a controller that hooks up the batteries and I'm on 24/7. I can't do my previous job just due to machines and I'm not allowed around them. My LTD insurance company called me the other day and it's telling me that I have to go back to work by December 18th otherwise I'm going to lose my benefits. I do I do plan on going back to work but not till after I get a heart transplant which I go on the list for in the fall. Because I cannot do my previous job until I get the lvad out of my chest but they want me to try to do an office job which I have no training for andare constantly for the last year been harrassing me about going to work. With this device I don't feel safe going , even for office work, because if something happens know one at work has had the training needed to deal with it. My husband had to have training so I could go home from hospital. My question is what can I do about my insurance company? Answer: I'm so sorry to hear what you've been going through. In short, your insurer should not be sending you back to work unless your doctors have cleared you to work. I recommend giving our office a call ASAP to discuss your options as there's a number of moving parts to this.
