Broadspire and Long-Term Disability Claims
On August 11, 2014, Broadspire announced the addition of short‐ and long‐term disability to its existing global product portfolio. The new suite of products, known collectively as Integrated Disability and Absence Management Services (IDAM), became available in the fourth quarter of 2014.
Broadspire announced that it will partner with ClaimVantage, a global software company with a specialized claims management system. ClaimVantage has a cloud‐based, anywhere access platform for processing disability and absence management claims.
Understanding Your Options After a Broadspire Disability Benefit Denial
If Broadspire administers your long-term disability insurance policy, your case is likely governed by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA). ERISA sets strict rules and deadlines for appeals, especially if your disability benefits have been stopped or denied. The window for filing an appeal under these rules is usually very short, often limited to 180 days. Some plans may also offer an optional second level of appeal. To navigate this complex landscape, it’s wise to consult with a disability law specialist to clarify your legal rights.
