"Over the past two years, MorningStar Health has been able to cut our STD case lost work time by over eight days per case. They have helped us demonstrate to our senior management that HR can have a quantifiable positive impact on the bottom line. We also enjoy the working relationship we have with them. Rather than a traditional customer-vendor relationship, they work more like one of our in-house team members."

Certification Services
 We certify your employees' Short-term Disability leaves based on analysis of medical documentation that supports the amount of time off needed from their normal jobs. And, if light duty or reduced work hours are available, our Care Managers will help facilitate your employee's return-to-work with his/her physician.
Advice-to-Pay
Services include the adjudication of your Short-term Disability benefit and a weekly report sent electronically to you or your third-party administrator, detailing all benefit eligible disabled employees. The report includes employees' demographics, gross weekly benefits, withholdings, and net benefits to be paid.
Assessment, Treatment Planning and Care Management
Comprehensive Healthcare Assessments "CHA" (medical, behavioral and/or complementary evaluation) are recommended when employees are on disability and considered at high risk for:
 |
 excessive lost work time |
|
| high medical claims costs |
|
| future disability claims |
|
Providing a CHA to your disabled employee often uncovers undiagnosed illnesses or the lack of proper treatment planning to help facilitate the employee's wellness and return-to-work. |
