Private Insurance Benefits and Medical Insurance
Navigating the process of obtaining disability insurance benefits following a work injury is no small task, and can be very difficult and confusing. We provide guidance to railroad employees with all aspects of the following types of insurance benefits following a work injury:
- Health insurance
- Dental insurance
- Supplemental private disability insurance
In the event of an injury where the employee is placed on medical leave and will require missed time from work, the employee's railroad medical insurance will continue to provide coverage, but certain steps may need to be taken in order to keep the insurance active. In addition, if the injury prevents the employee from returning to work for the railroad, the railroad's health insurance policy will remain in effect, but only for a limited period of time.
In addition to making sure your medical insurance coverage remains in effect following an injury, there are additional benefits you may be entitled to receive as many railroad workers have purchased private disability insurance policies through companies such as Provident, MetLife, Trustmark and Aetna. Our team has tremendous experience helping individuals navigate through the paperwork to make sure you timely receive these additional benefits you are entitled to.
