Eliminate sick leave program complications
If rising Short Term Disability premiums have caused you to self insure, self-fund or provide your own internal sick leave salary continuance plans, you may feel overwhelmed with objectively reviewing claims or verifying absences in order to provide payment.
Internal sick leave plans are difficult to manage and can set you up for legal liability – especially if you don’t have a proper policy in place. By focusing on providing employers more then simply a claims decision on each file, DMI’s advice to pay service streamlines administration and claims review ensuring a positive outcome on all files reviewed.
Our services include:
- Creation of a custom policy statement and claim forms: This will establish objective review criteria and streamline the collection of absence information.
- Medical validation of absences: Independent review of each claim focusing on validating medical information and determining an anticipated duration of absence for each file
- Final approval on all claims: You remain in control of the final decision; we simply provide our recommendation
- Effective cost containment strategies: Our policy design and process have on average led to a 25% reduction in the duration of absence across our client base
- Reduced legal conflicts Policy design, informed recommendations and established claim appeal processes reduce the risk of legal conflicts
- Fixed costs per file We don’t charge for supplemental medical reviews or appeals, making our pricing model more cost effective than traditional 3rd party review services
