Short Term (Disability)

Aetna short term disability insurance or benefits plans

Short-term disabilities disrupt your employees' lives. And that disrupts your business. When an employee can't work due to illness or off-the-job injury, it:

• Hurts productivity
• Cuts into profits
• Threatens your long-term business plans

Our short term disability plan helps get employees back to work -- and your company's productivity back on track.

We manage disabilities from start to finish. Our team of doctors and rehabilitation and disability specialists can help your employees return to health and work

And our accurate, on-time payments mean your employees can focus on getting better. 

One size doesn't fit all

We'll customize a program for you. Choose the short term disability plan that is right for your business. Programs can include:

• Senior nurse review to help coordinate case management resources to meet the unique needs of each employee
• A return-to-work schedule developed with the doctor, supervisor and company
• Smooth transitions to long-term disability (when Aetna is your long-term disability carrier)
• Management of workers' compensation claims until liability is determined for optimum return-to-work results
• Access to eligibility and absence information for accurate updates and better workforce planning
• Real-time notifications of absence requests and certifications via e-mail to supervisors
• 24-hour access to Web-based, industry-leading analytical and operational absence program information
• Tools to manage family and medical leave according to federal and state regulations
  

Your employees will appreciate the benefits, too

• Educated, knowledgeable staff to answer their questions
• 24-hour toll-free phone and/or Web for easy claim filing
