You can submit a claim as soon as you anticipate a problem, but please make sure you submit the forms no later than:
We’ll do everything we can to ensure we’re ready to pay benefit when your sick pay scheme stops.
To help us progress your claim as quickly as possible, please ask your employee to provide any medical evidence that relates to their period of absence along with their claim form, this could include:
The onset of an illness or injury is traumatic enough for everyone involved without having to deal with unwanted and unnecessary administration.
To help support you, you will be looked after by a dedicated Claims Management Specialist who will stay with the claim, providing much-needed continuity and a partner who knows your business.
Your Claims Management Specialist will guide you through the assessment and keep you in the loop - giving regular updates to the policyholder and asking for clarification when we need it. If you have any questions at any time, you can contact your Claims Management Specialist directly by telephone, email or letter, whichever you prefer.
Paying benefit to your employees when it’s needed and for as long as it’s needed is vital. We will deliver on that commitment for as long as the claims lasts. Once a claim decision has been made, we’ll call you to confirm the payments we’ll be making and talk about ongoing claims management plans.
If we don’t think the evidence supports paying a claim, we will take care to explain the reasons why – quickly and clearly.
From day one of your employee's absence, our Rehabilitation Services team can provide guidance on managing their absence and supporting your employee back to work. Simply call our Rehabilitation Helpline on 01306 646 001, or email them at premier.referral@unum.co.uk.
