We
are writing to acknowledge and respond to your correspondence dated
April 1, 2016, regarding Joey ***’s claim for Long Term
Disability (LTD) benefitsMr*** was covered under his employer
provided, fully-insured LTD policy ** ***, which was underwritten
by Life Insurance Company of
North America (***) and issued in
Georgia.Mr
*** raised concerns regarding his most recent LTD claim experience
and claim decisionPlease allow us this opportunity to address his
concerns and explain our decisionWith
respect to Mr*** employer’s LTD policy ** ***, in order for
benefits to be payable, his medical records needed to support that
his health conditions caused a functional impairment that would
continuously meet the following definition of Disability/Disabled to
be eligible for benefits:Definition
of Disability/DisabledThe
Employee is considered Disabled if, solely because of Injury or
Sickness, he or she is:unable
to perform the material duties of his or her Regular Occupation; andunable
to earn 80% or more of his or her Indexed Earnings from working in
his or her Regular OccupationAfter
Disability Benefits have been payable for months, the Employee is
considered Disabled if, solely due to Injury or Sickness, he or she
is:1)
unable to perform the material duties of any occupation for which he
or she is, or may reasonably become, qualified based on education,
training or experience; and2)
unable to earn 60% or more of his or her Indexed Earnings.The
Insurance Company will require proof of earnings and continued
Disability.While
his LTD benefits were approved for a time, continued LTD benefits
were not payable to Mr*** beyond October 29, 2014, because he no
longer met the policy’s definition of DisabilityBenefits were
subsequently paid through this date and then discontinuedAccording
to our records, this determination was also reviewed and upheld
through two separate administrative appealsWhile we understand Mr
*** disagrees with our determination and paid for coverage under
policy ** ***, further LTD benefits would only be payable if a
continued functional impairment was supportedAt this time, it has
been determined that Mr*** did not meet this definition of
Disability/Disabled beyond October 29, as required by his
employer’s policyBased on our review, no further financial
compensation is due to Mr*** at this timeShould
you have any questions or would like to discuss this matter further,
please feel free to contact me directly at ###-###-####.Sincerely,Eric
