New Designed for Health report now available!
We’re excited to announce a new report in our Designed for Health series: Shifting tides in disability claims - Addressing mental health and chronic disease in the workplace. To create this report, we compiled and analyzed data from over 1.5 million plan members with LTD insurance.
Key insights
The research and findings in the report are here to help empower you to support the health of your employees. It takes a deeper dive into the insights below and much more.
- Mental disorder claims continue to drive overall LTD claim volumes, representing almost 40% of claims in 2024.
- Adjustment and anxiety disorders have been making up an increasing share of claims, reflecting persistent stress, change and uncertainty since the pandemic.
- Over half of plan members are living with one or more chronic conditions. This is driving the incidence and complexity of disability claims.
- Cancer claims are rising, especially among plan members under 50 years old.
Solutions to help you support your plan members
Early intervention and support are crucial as mental health disorders and chronic conditions rise in the workforce. Our report highlights many different solutions that can help. Here are a few to consider:
- Mental Health Coach, provided by Kii Health (formerly CloudMD): engages plan members who are the most at risk of mental health–related absences and prompts them to access care before their symptoms worsen.
- Toolkits and playbooks: additional resources and tools to help achieve your workplace health goals.
- Chronic disease coaching programs offered through Lumino HealthTM Pharmacy*, provided by Pillway**: provides support to plan members living with chronic conditions to help them overcome health barriers.***
