Where we are providing remote or full case management services, Roodlane does not close an OH referral when a Long Term Disability ("LTD") claim commences. OH can maintain a vital link between employer and employee during extended absence.
All long-term absence cases have the potential to become long-term disability claims if they are not actively managed. We will ensure that insurers are notified of potential claims as early as possible — this is particularly successful when day one absence recording is in place. We will also liaise with insurer and client to ensure that the resources provided by the insurer are leveraged appropriately.
Roodlane has extensive experience of working with LTD insurers and our OH professionals have a real understanding of LTD insurance.
Roodlane understands that communication is the cornerstone of an integrated approach to LTD claims management. Regular multidisciplinary meetings between occupational health, employers, intermediaries, insurers and legal advisors facilitate optimal case management and in turn these processes reduce long-term absence and its associated costs both direct and indirect. Potential benefits to all parties and financial savings are considerable.
