Sun Life uses its copy of the industry Initial Disability Insurance Medical Statement, form 5548-SL-IDIMS-E, for new short-term disability, long-term disability and salary continuance claims. It replaces Sun Life's own Attending Physician's Statement for new claims, although older statements such as 045-1355 still appear inside some legacy claim packages. Sun Life's packages pair it with plan member and plan sponsor statements.
Section 2, the Medical Statement, is completed by the attending physician or other medical provider. The plan member and plan sponsor complete their own statements in Sun Life's claim packages.
