ROADMAPS TO CLAIM SUCCESS
Leaving work because of a medical disability can have a tremendous physical and emotional impact on anyone. In fact, making the transition from working in a chosen career field to total or partial disability is a major life event that often requires knowledge of disability contracts and investigative claims processes. Disability Claims Solutions, Inc. is here to help.
As a company, Disability Claims Solutions, Inc. provides insureds with resources to make better decisions concerning ERISA Group STD/LTD claims, as well as Individual Disability Income benefits and Long-Term Care. Having the opportunity to work with an expert consultant, such as Linda Nee, provides insureds with valuable procedural options to work through problematic issues in successful ways. Our focus is to resolve problems, not wrestle with conflict.
DCS, Inc. maintains excellent relationships with treating physicians and specialists who support patient disability. Insureds and claimants ultimately benefit from the teamwork of physicians, specialists, and employers, in combination with expert consultation and advice.

From Lighthouse Of The World To Outhouse Failure
Part I of my book is now published on my website located at http://www.disabilityclaimssolutions.com. Attorneys who litigated claims between 1996 and 2000 might be interested in reading the cultural history of Unum as well as the claims practices that were used during that time. </p> I plan to self-publish the completed book in December.

Unum’s Predetermined Recovery Periods
Recent letters from Unum show indications that the company is once again using some sort of software (or review tactic) to arbitrarily assign recovery dates to claims.

In fact, in my articles I have always described communications with MetLife as “waking the dead” anyway, but several claimants have reported difficulties specifically with STD and obtaining paperwork to...
A Funny But True Surveillance Story
Sometimes I just have to sit back and have a brief chuckle when it’s obvious insurance companies have lost their minds! This is a true story of an Emergency Room physician who was surveilled in the middle of the night. It’s OK to smile along… Dr. Don was an Emergency Room attending physician, who after many months found that due...
