Wawanesa Life Disability Attending Physician Statement

Wawanesa Life uses one attending physician statement for group long-term disability, short-term disability and waiver of premium claims: the industry Initial Disability Insurance Medical Statement, June 2025 version, with Wawanesa's return details on every page. Wawanesa considers a claim complete only with the Plan Member Statement, the Plan Sponsor Statement and this statement.

Who completes it

The patient completes Section 1 (patient information and consent). The physician or other medical provider completes Section 2, the Medical Statement.

Submitting and payment

How to submit it
Return it to Wawanesa Life's Life Claims Department by email, fax or mail; Wawanesa says most claims can also be submitted online or through its app.
Who pays
As printed on the first page, the patient pays any fees related to completing the statement.

Good to know

  • Wawanesa says any registered physician can complete the statement, and lists general practitioners, specialists, nurse practitioners and physician assistants as examples.
  • All Wawanesa claim forms must carry the handwritten signature of the person responsible for completing them.
  • Wawanesa says a case manager makes contact within five business days of receiving all short-term disability forms, or ten business days for long-term disability.
