I have been told by a contractor I have hail damage on my roof, my insurance company denies it and won't cover me. I have been with them for 25 years, the contractor wants to meet with the adjustor at my home to discuss this but they say no, what should I do?

I've fought claims on behalf of my clients and won. Not something like a replacement roof, however.
I would call another contractor, tell him, hey, you're NOT going to get this job, but I'll pay you $100 if you give me your written opinion, honestly.
Because contractors are GOING to try to tell you your roof is bad - it's in their interest to sell you a new roof. Big question here - how OLD is your roof, and how much life do you have left in it?
See, hail damage is going to leave VISIBLE traces - sure, they might be small, but you should see SOMETHING - on siding, flashing, and asphalt shingles or tin, whatever your roof is made of. So how hard would it be to have a contractor take a picture of the damage they say is hail?? Then bring it to your AGENT, and let your AGENT fight that battle.

Call your agent and see if they can help you out. Your agent can't tell the claims department what to do- but many agents are willing to get involved in a claim and help you if needed.
