What are Rheumatoid Arthritis & Osteoarthritis?

 

Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune inflammatory condition that affects your joints and may have a widespread impact on your body. Rheumatoid arthritis is triggered when the immune system attacks tissues in your body. The smaller joints in the body, such as toes and fingers, are severely affected.

Rheumatoid arthritis may move beyond the joints and attack the eyes, heart, lungs, skin, and blood vessels. Untreated rheumatoid arthritis will cause bone erosion and joint deformity.
Rheumatoid arthritis is commonly mistaken for osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis is a different condition that develops over time due to erosion of cartilage around the joints. The bones and joints will rub against each other, causing pain and discomfort. It affects joints in the body, particularly in the fingers, knees, hips, and spine.
To successfully challenge a claim denial or termination, you need to have a clear and complete record of symptoms, treatment, and medical oversight. Most insurance providers consider failure to seek and follow the treatment as red flags that will impact access to disability benefits.
