Group Disability Insurance

Group Disability Insurance

Group Long Term Disability (LTD) and Short Term Disability (STD) policies protect employees' assets and your assets as well.

Our plans are designed to keep costs in control for both employers and employees – by providing incentives for disabled employees to return to independent, productive lives as quickly as possible. Employers can determine the benefit levels that fit their budgetary considerations, as well as plan details such as waiting periods and benefit durations.

Plan Integration And Return-To-Work Support

Competitive group rates are but one advantage of Humana disability plans. Our group STD and LTD plans are designed to complement each other. A key element in managing LTD claims better is early involvement in the STD claims process. Because there is a complementary, integrated process, they naturally increase efficiencies in terms of claims administration, case management and overall cost profile.

This early intervention results in a dramatically increased success rate for our return-to-work services. These services, along with incentives toward the goal of recovery, promote a return to independent, productive work.

Professionals who specialize in disability claims management administer our claim evaluation services. With Humana Specialty Benefits, you can be certain we'll take care of the details, so you're free to concentrate on your business.
