Bartolic Law helps pharmacists get their long-term disability claims approved. We have helped at all stages of the process, including making the claim, appealing a denied claim, and filing lawsuits over denied long-term disability benefits. In one case, a client worked as a clinical pharmacist and had to stand and walk the majority of the day. When the client’s fibromyalgia became worse, the client claimed long-term disability. The administrator contended the client worked for years while having fibromyalgia, so the client should not be disabled.
We detailed the history of treatment and decline in functioning, as well as got doctors to explain the symptoms’ increase in severity over time. We also attended an Independent Medical Examination with the client to mitigate the IME’s attempt to force the client to sit in the waiting room for hours after the appointment should have started. After the process, the administrator approved the client’s claim, and we have kept it in pay status ever since.
Pharmacists are an important part of our healthcare system, and they go through a rigorous educational and residency program to earn their Pharm.D degrees. Once they are finished with the preliminary part of their career, the profession can be a satisfying and lucrative one. As life goes on, however, pharmacists can develop medical conditions or sustain injuries that result in lasting disabilities. Mental and physical impairments can prevent pharmacists from working, as any mistake can put the lives of their patients at risk. If you can no longer work as a pharmacist, you might not know how you are going to support yourself and your family.
Filing a disability insurance claim is often your best course of action. While filing a claim might seem straightforward, the following claim process is usually anything but simple. Insurance companies can be difficult and often challenge claimants – even though you are facing a devastating blow already with your disability. The right legal representation from a Chicago disability insurance benefits lawyer can help you receive the benefits you need with minimal delays.
Pharmacists often work schedules unlike everybody else’s. They often must put in more than eight-hour shifts, and they must be on their feet most of the time. Pharmacists also must work weekends and holidays. Due to Pharmacists’ schedules, conditions that cause unpredictability in symptomology, or frequent flareups, increasingly impact Pharmacists.
