Insurer claim forms and attending physician statements

Disability, critical illness, accident, hospital, life and long-term care claim forms from national carriers, each with a section the treating clinician completes.

Insurers ask the treating clinician to document disability, critical illness, accident, hospital and life claims on an attending physician statement (APS). Common examples are Unum's Short Term Disability Claim Form (CL-1104), Aflac Group's critical illness and disability claim forms, and Colonial Life's Disability Claim (64387), Critical Illness Claim (65017) and Accident Claim (67715). Carriers also send condition-specific questionnaires, from Prudential's cardiac, cancer and pulmonary statements to behavioral health statements from Guardian, Sun Life and Prudential.

Most are fillable PDFs, and the claimant and employer complete their own sections. Who pays varies: Guardian's LTD statement and The Hartford's APS put the cost on the patient, while Aflac's life waiver asks the physician to complete it without expense to the insurer. The Hartford and Lincoln Financial send forms per claim. 14 forms here have a Spanish version. Vero Documents fills these PDFs from the visit note and the chart, and any fillable PDF you upload becomes a template the whole clinic can use.

Frequently asked questions

Who pays the doctor for completing an insurance APS?

Usually the patient, when the form says anything. Guardian's LTD statement and The Hartford's Attending Physician's Statement say the patient is responsible for the cost, Mutual of Omaha's incapacitated dependent form puts any fee on the employee, and Unum's voluntary benefits disability form says Unum is not responsible for completion expenses. Lincoln Financial's disability statement and Aflac Group's life waiver form ask to be completed without expense to the company.

What does the Unum CL-1104 ask the physician?

The CL-1104 is Unum's Short Term Disability Claim Form. The attending physician or treating provider documents the diagnosis, pregnancy dates, treatment, restrictions and limitations, and the expected return-to-work date; the employee and employer complete their own statements. It is an 11-page fillable packet, with a bilingual English and Spanish version, CL-1104-BL. Long term disability claims use the CL-1019, which also covers life waiver of premium.

What do critical illness claim forms ask the physician?

To confirm the covered illness and the date and basis of diagnosis, sometimes with supporting findings such as troponin for a heart attack. Examples include Aflac Group's Critical Illness Claim Form, Colonial Life's 65017, Unum's CL-1198, Pacific Life's WB-132 and Combined Insurance's CI-CLM-CI. For stroke claims under its group critical illness plan, Guardian adds a Modified Rankin Scale form that the attending physician scores.

What is a waiver of premium attending physician statement?

A physician statement certifying that the insured is totally disabled, so the insurer waives life insurance premiums. Guardian (GG-117), The Standard (SI 1284), Trustmark (A112-2512_APS), Unum (CL-1234), Mutual of Omaha (465891) and Pacific Life each publish one. The Standard's packet adds a physical capacities assessment, and Prudential has a Kurtzke Functional Systems Scores form for MS patients claiming waiver of premium.
