Understanding the long-term disability claims process
Physicians often have questions about claims when completing long-term disability (LTD) forms for patients, a process that can seem complicated and lengthy.
Sarah J. Hentschel, Senior Associate, from Watson Goepel LLP, will provide insight into LTD claims and share tips to help doctors streamline the process.
The session will cover what clinical information insurers typically look for and how best to present it, how to understand the appeal process when claims are rejected, how to manage patients’ expectations, and practical tips based on frequently asked questions about LTD claims. The session will include an interactive Q&A session, and doctors are encouraged to voice their questions and concerns.
