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.

Unum – Policy? What Policy? Can’t Find It! Don’t Have It! But, “Reconstructed It!”
One of the worst things UnumProvident ever did at the time of the 1999 merger was to do away with the “policy room”, which was a paper accumulation of original policies sold to employers and insureds. Eliminating original copies of policies, particularly the newly gained Provident/Paul Revere originals was a major error on behalf of...
Procrastination To File IDI Claims Raises “Late Filing And Prejudice” Issues
Those who have IDI policies, (non-ERISA), and delay filing initial claims, risk getting paid for prior periods even when the definition of disability has been met for total or residual disability. The idea that because the policy is IDI, and not subject to federal jurisdiction does not mean that insureds can decide on their own when to file....
Has There Ever Been An Investigation For Insurance Paying Off Doctors?
I received this question several times this week one specifically asking whether Unum pays-off its doctors. I think it’s fair to say that the insurance industry routinely “pays-off” its reviewing physicians all the time, and they do it on the table. Specifically, with reference to Unum, I consider all of its internal medical...
Thank You To Readers And Callers In Difficult Times

Many of my clients have been with me for more than 10 years and have reached maximum duration of claim. Yesterday to my great surprise I received a dozen roses from an insured who called me with his...
Making Wrong Decisions That Will Cost You
Lately it has come to my attention just how many people are using the content of Lindanee’s Blog to manage their claims. I’ve come to know this because eventually many of the same insureds find it necessary to call me and ask for help. Although I have said in the past, many times in fact, that I only publish approximately 10% of what...
Unum Targets HIV Old Age Claims
Within 7 days from the end of 2nd Qtr. we can easily see where Unum is focused. I’ve received several phone calls informing me that Unum is targeting HIV, near maximum duration claims. Although Unum has always denied individuals on claim long-term, this particular case is indeed egregious. The claimant has been on Unum claim for the last 24...
