Disability Claims Service
Supporting Plan Members towards recovery
Our Focus on the Claims Experience
We’re committed to protecting our Plan Members in their time of need as well as easing administrative tasks for employers to ensure claims are managed with a focus on professionalism and empathy.
- Our priority and focus is on the safe and early return to work for Plan Members, while proactively managing the absence.
- Our claims process is easy to navigate with a team of Case Managers that help support Plan Members during every step.
- Claims decisions are made in 5 business days (for Short-Term Disability) or 10 business days (for Long-Term Disability), once all claim information is received.
- Our Case Managers work with Plan Members to ensure a smooth transition without barriers.
- We identify and support rehabilitation needs and alternatives for gradual and safe return to work options for Plan Members.
- Our Case Management team actively participates in customer service training, mental health training and Indigenous Care Services, to ensure we are inclusive to the needs of all communities.
Here’s what they’re saying
“It’s very stressful when you’re going [on] short term leave obviously, and it’s not something anybody wants to do. I was very impressed. We were really surprised at how well everything went with the process. It’s very smooth, no problems, great communication.”
“They explained everything very well, and then I got a follow up email right after that to confirm what the process was. It was very pragmatic and step by step. You really couldn’t go wrong.”
“She talked to me like I was a real human being and she gave me a number that went directly to her. She made it really easy to get to her and to talk to her, and I think that’s exactly what I needed.”
“I was very pleased with the way that they treated me, she was very patient with me and asked me a lot of questions, and I felt really confident having her as my caseworker.”
“That part [filling out the application] is not difficult. It’s all very self-explanatory. It’s very straightforward, there’s nothing difficult on it.”
