Overview: Integrated disability management helps companies reduce overall disability costs and return employees to the workplace quickly. To handle disability costs and injured employees back to work faster, a growing number of companies have embraced integrated disability management. This benefits-management strategy coordinates the administration of workers’ compensation, long-term disability, short-term disability, and in some cases group health insurance, wellness programs and employee assistance programs. Integrated disability management can mean many things, but it primarily means communicating and coordinating among the different programs. Companies simply need to apply to short-term disability and long-term disability programs the same types of cost-management practices that they have used to manage workers compensation expenses.
