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.

Regular And Appropriate Care
Although I’ve written several articles on “Regular and Appropriate Care”, the long buried issue of Unum’s CXC Employer Plans is once again showing it’s face in the review process. In the mid-90’s and earlier, Unum’s Group LTD Plans were issued as series XL or XLL. You can find this designation from the...
What Do I Do When My Claims Handler Is Rude?

Hats off to them; thank goodness they are still taking on new clients. BUT…. This article is about attorneys out there, who because they do personal injury law, believe they are...
