Attending Physician Statement (APS) is a form that every disability insurance company requires a disability claimant to complete on a routine basis during the pendency of a short or long term disability insurance claim. Doctors often rush through these forms which can be detrimental to a claimant. The doctor statement is drafted by the insurance company and unfortunately is designed to minimize the severity of a claimant’s limitations. The doctor form must be completed with specific detail or it will almost always result in a claim denial. Our lawyers work closely with a claimant’s doctor and the claimant to make sure that the Doctor completes the APS appropriately.
In this video disability attorneys Gregory Dell and Cesar Gavidia discuss the APS and common issues that arise when completing the form. Our disability insurance lawyers have reviewed thousands of APS forms from every disability carrier and know exactly what information must be contained in the statement.
