How Do Insurance Companies Handle Parkinson’s Disease?
Parkinson’s Disease usually presents itself later on in years and insurance companies typically will try to downplay its effects so as to avoid payment of those critical Long Term Disability or Parkinson’s Disability benefits needed as treatment commences and symptoms progress. It is our experience that doctors who treat Parkinson’s Disease, typically neurologists or movement disorder specialists, usually do not find themselves involved in disability claims. While they are generally prepared to cooperate, that cooperation will require that the doctor be prepared to explain the diagnosis and the impact its manifestations have on the claimant’s ability to work. We routinely work with physicians to turn the findings in their medical records into a clear stat
ement demonstrating the impact on employability.
