I’m equally proud of how we deliver

reflected in our team purpose statement.
‘We are committed to providing the
best claims operation in Australia,
as measured by client satisfaction.
Our purpose is to effectively

Our Claims leadership team has
over 86 years’ experience in the life
insurance industry.
Effective claims management is critical
for any life insurer.
At MLC we’re committed to being there

quotes from advisers and clients as

clients get back to suitable work, or

while focussing on restoring their
fitness and confidence, and
“Thank you for all your support and
help you have given me while I have
been unwell.
It is fabulous being back in full-time
work and I have MLC to thank for
putting me through rehabilitation.
You really have saved my life.”

MLC Claims – We go the extra mile Page 3
Pay & Finalise
A speedy and
simple solution
We review every claim received to see
if it meets our Pay & Finalise criteria.
If it does, we assess the claim for
eligibility, review the medically
advised period of disability and then
pay the full benefit amount upfront
to finalise the claim.
This typically happens within five days of
receiving the completed claim forms.
This helps the client to focus on returning
to work and getting on with their life.
Our Pay & Finalise criteria is constantly
evolving as we continuously improve our
service offering, but some examples of
claims that fall into this category include
those where:
• there’s appropriate medical
certification for the anticipated
period of disability
• there are no complications (medical or
otherwise) which would delay a return
to work
• the nature of the disablement can be
objectively supported, eg fractures or
hernias (claims which are subjective
in nature are generally not suitable),
and
• there are no disclosure or
pre‑existing concerns.
Where a claim is accepted for Pay and
Finalise, we’ll pay the benefit up to the
anticipated return to work date.
This is without the need for any further
supporting documentation, such
as ongoing medical certification or
additional forms.
This also means that neither you, nor
your client, need to provide paperwork
on a monthly basis for the ongoing claim.
“A client of mine, who is also a close
personal friend, had reason to claim
for a very short time on her MLC
Income Protection late last year.
I spoke to her on the weekend at
a social function we were both
attending and she had huge praise
for the gentleman from MLC who
handled her claim and spoke to
her on the phone with regard to it.
His level of care and genuine
interest in her well-being was
greatly appreciated and she
was very impressed with the
whole experience.”
A comment from one of our
advisers whose client had
made a claim.

On 26 October 2012, he suffered
a fractured tibia due to a fall.
John lodged his IP claim with us on
14 November 2012.

Accompanying his claim form was
medical certification which indicated

21 December 2012.
It also came with a medical report
which accurately detailed the full nature
of his injury.
and that he was expecting to return to
work in late December 2012.
As a result of the conversation with John,
who was confident of a return to work
within a reasonable period, we paid his
claim in full for the period 26 October
2012 to 21 December 2012.
This was without the need for any further
medical evidence or other statements of
continued incapacity.
John received an IP benefit of just under
$11,460 for the period of disability
and successfully returned to work in
late December.
We contacted John on receipt of the
claim form, where he indicated that
there was good progress of the injury,

To work or
not to work
It’s true, work is good
for you.
The Royal Australasian
College of Physicians
released a conclusive
piece of research3
which demonstrates
that work is good
for physical and
psychological health
and wellbeing. And it
helps with self-esteem.
Long term
‘worklessness’ is
one of the greatest
risks to health in our
society4, and the
facts are disturbing.5
The facts
• The health risk is equivalent to
smoking 10 packs of cigarettes
per day.6
• There’s a 40-fold increase in
suicide rates for young men that
are out of work for greater than
six months.7
• In fact, the overall suicide rate
increases by six times for those
with longer term worklessness.8
• It creates a greater health risk
than the most dangerous jobs
in the construction industry.4
Yet, in spite of this overwhelming
evidence, it’s clear that this message
hasn’t received widespread acceptance
in Australia, to the frustration of medical
professional bodies.3
What’s the solution?
While the solution to this isn’t simple,
there are still many things that can
be done.
Investment in our people
We’ve developed the claims
management capabilities of our team,
to incorporate bio-psycho-social
factors9 during claim assessment;
recognising that any combination of
these factors can act as a barrier to
recovery and return to work.
Research4 shows that 70% of the
principal barriers for returning to work
are psychological/cognitive and include
the workplace environment.
Rehabilitation expertise
MLC has a dedicated team of in-house
Rehabilitation Consultants whose
priority is to provide help and guidance
to the claimants to resume suitable and
safe work.
They liaise closely with treating doctors
to make sure the support provided is
appropriate and consistent with the
medical advice provided.

“I found the ongoing support from
the MLC Rehabilitation Consultant
and the External Rehabilitation
Provider to be invaluable … they
have been able to help me with all
issues of providing advice as to the
home environment and part-time
work in a low stress environment.”
A comment from one of our
clients who went through our
rehabilitation process.
“I know without the services of the
External Rehabilitation Provider in
helping me to find a new job that I
could do after my injury, I would still
be claiming benefits.
Early intervention
This helps early recognition of
claims cases that potentially have
bio‑psycho‑social factors which could
act as barriers to full recovery and the
return to full-time work.
It’s essential to actively manage the
claim and engage everyone with a direct
interest in the long-term good health and
wellbeing of the claimant.
Understanding the genuine capacity to
work through proper consultation will not
only help the claimant achieve the right
levels of physical and mental fitness, but
it will also help us manage their claims
effectively and in a sustainable manner.
I am extremely grateful to MLC
and the Rehabilitation Provider for
everything they did to help me get
back to work.”

clients who went through our

Ken10
A self-employed real
estate manager
Ken developed anxiety and depression
and, as a result, sold his business, and
consequently had no job to return to.
Ken
Ken’s claim was reviewed by the MLC
Rehabilitation Consultant, as he was
very keen to explore employment
opportunities that would help him to
return to work.
Medical evidence confirmed that he
wasn’t able to return to his pre-disability
occupation so new employment
opportunities had to be explored.
Ken was subsequently referred to an
External Rehabilitation Consultant where
an initial assessment was completed
to help in devising a plan to help Ken
to return to the workforce.
As a part of this plan, Ken participated
in a Vocational Assessment (VA)
where suitable employment vocations
in line with Ken’s education, training
and experience as well as his medical
abilities were identified.
The VA options were discussed with
Ken’s treating doctors to make sure
that the recommendations were
medically appropriate.
Ken then took part in a job seeking
program through the External
Rehabilitation Provider (ERP) who
helped him develop a resumé and cover
letter. The ERP also provided him with
strategies and support to help him to
apply for, and attend, interviews.
As a result of this support, Ken was able
to secure employment in an alternative
occupation on a full-time basis, six
months after starting to look for a job.

We love hearing
stories of how our
work at MLC can
have a positive impact
on our client’s lives.
One client, Jurek Leon, wrote us this
letter about the experience he had when
he had to make a second claim on his
Income Protection policy.
Letters like Jurek’s remind us just how
important it is to give our clients the very

the Income Protection payment in
advance over the Christmas period;
this is why I sell MLC products.”
A comment from one of our
advisers whose client had
made a claim.

Keeping your
clients informed
When you, or your
client, notify us of a
claim we email or
post the forms to them
with a helpful flyer.
These flyers outline the requirements
and answer some frequently asked
questions about the policy or benefit
that is being claimed.
“I give MLC 100% for service.
They kept me updated by phone
and promptly paid my claim on
my Income Protection policy for
a bilateral knee replacement.
The flyers are for:
• Life Cover
I had a claim with another insurance
company on a different matter and
I wasn’t allowed to talk to their claims
team. I was only allowed to talk to
their call centre.
• Income Protection
• Total and Permanent Disablity
• Critical Illness
• Business Expenses.
I’m glad MLC don’t operate in that
fashion.”
These flyers are available for
downloading from mlc.com.au

“Thank you so much for your
compassion and your efforts in
getting this claim finalised in such
a timely manner. I have spoken to
the client and he is very relieved.
He is so very sick at the moment
and he wanted me to personally
thank you and MLC for giving him
and his family peace of mind.
My job is trying to convince people
of the importance of having cover.
This case proves the point.”
