North Van man faces $112,000 US medical bill.

According to a story by Jeremy Shepherd, North Shore News, travel insurer Manulife has denied a $112,000 claim for US medical expenses incurred by North Vancouver Resident, John Toljanich. The 74 year-old Toljanich came down with pneumonia while on vacation in Palm Desert, California. The 112 big ones were racked up in four-and-one-half days in a Southern California hospital and the flight back to Vancouver. It seems that when I read about travel medical insurance claims being denied I expect the Manulife name to pop up in the article, and this time it did.
