CIGNA Hires Social Service Coordinators Disability Services

CIGNA, an insurance company which writes long term disability (LTD) insurance, has issued a press release saying that it has hired Social Service Coordinators Disability Services to represent its insureds on their Social Security disability claims. Insurance companies writing LTD insurance have a huge interest in their insureds obtaining Social Security disability benefits, since the LTD benefits are offset by the Social Security disability benefits. In recent years, LTD insurers have preferred dealing with non-attorney groups for this representation. From Social Service Coordinator's website, it appears that to this point the company has been involved in helping states get people off Medicaid and on Medicare.
