About This Webinar

Too often, the process to receive approval for Social Security Disability Income (SSDI) benefits can be complicated and cumbersome. With the right approach, health insurance providers can achieve the twin goals of minimizing the cost burden of disabled members and increasing member satisfaction. To help potential members navigate the process, payers need to employ experienced disability advocates who help patients identify and enroll in financial safety net programs.

This educational webinar from Cognizant will dive into the factors needed on the route to enrollment. Presenters will explain the five-step process patients must complete to enroll to receive SSDI benefits, plus define in detail how an algorithm-driven outreach model can be used to educate, empower and assist eligible members.
