Challenging Denials and Ensuring Access to Benefits
The Mental Health Justice Project provides legal representation to individuals whose insurance companies have denied coverage for mental health treatment or disability benefits related to mental health conditions. Our work focuses on challenging improper denials of health insurance claims and short- and long-term disability claims, and on enforcing insurers’ legal obligations.
Insurance denials and administrative barriers often delay or block access to medically necessary care and can leave individuals facing significant out of pocket costs or loss of income. We guide clients through each stage of the process, from initial claim review and appeals through litigation when necessary.
Access to health insurance coverage and disability benefits can provide critical financial stability and continuity of care. Whether a client is seeking coverage for mental health treatment or pursuing disability benefits, we work to hold insurers accountable and to protect our clients’ rights under the law.

“[MHJP] understood how these insurers operate, what arguments matter, and how the court would view key issues. That credibility and understanding translated into leverage against the opposing parties. Through her skill, experience, and reputation, Ms. Rafik and her team were able to balance the scales against these powerful companies and protect us from the very real threat of being forced to pay an enormous amount out of pocket.”
