PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — Pennsylvania State Police Troopers are investigating a burglary in Indiana County where more than $500,000 in cash was recently stolen from a safe inside a home.
State Police from the Punxsutawney barracks say their Troopers are investigating the burglary that happened in the morning hours of New Year’s Eve last week in Canoe Township.
Troopers say a gun safe inside a home was burglarized and a firearm along with stacks of $100 bills worth more than $500,000 were taken.
The stacks of $100 bills were said to be stapled together and State Police provided a photo showing what the bills would look like once unstapled.
Anyone with information about the burglary or the stolen money is asked to call the State Police barracks or the State Police tip line and can also submit information online.
State Police say a cash reward could be provided for information that leads to an arrest.
However, information about how often individual insurance companies deny coverage, and how many cases are appealed and overturned, is scarce and not publicly reported most of the time.
Insurance denials can lead to delays in care and medical debt. State officials estimate that 1 million people in Pennsylvania have some medical debt from unpaid bills and other charges.
In Pennsylvania, residents can file an appeal with the state’s Independent External Review program after they have already completed an internal appeals process with their health insurer.
If they are still denied coverage, people can then submit their case to the state review process, where independent, third-party reviewers analyze individual claims and give a final determination on whether the insurer’s denial was valid or if it must be overturned.
The review program is open to people who have health insurance through a state health plan, the Affordable Care Act Marketplace and other commercial insurance, including employer-sponsored plans offered at private companies, nonprofits and organizations.
People who get insurance from their employer through self-funded plans, in which the employer or company pays health claims directly rather than through the insurance company, are excluded from using the state review program.
