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.

Accountabilities- Real And Presumed

Little Known Labor Market Surveys And Why Insurers Don’t Use Them

Although 24 months is the most common time period for any occ change in definition, there are Plans with any occupation provisions of 12, 24, 36, and 60...
Summer Surveillance Is Alive And Well
Reports of summer surveillance are already coming in to DCS with the potential to deny claims. Although I try to remind readers of increased surveillance, I’m pretty sure most insureds exceed medical restrictions sometime during the summer.
