Disability AssessmentsThe March 1, 2006 amendments to the SABS have grouped housekeeping and home maintenance benefits under section 35 together with income replacement benefits, non-earner benefits, and caregiver benefits as “specified weekly benefits.” It is now clear that, provided that all procedural steps and timelines are observed, an insurer has the right to have an insured person examined under section 42 before commencing to pay specified weekly benefits. MCI Medical Assessments’ price structure will make it cost-effective for insurers to use this statutory amendment as a means of controlling claims costs in appropriate cases. Furthermore, MCI guarantees that the turn around time on reports will be compliant with all regulated timelines. MCI Medical Assessments offers Insurer Examination to assist with an Insurer’s determination to initial or ongoing entitlement to any of the “specified weekly benefits.”
