June 1, 2023, I am still waiting the paperwork about my denial, why it was denied, and how to appeal. I talked with work on May 30, 2023, work then stated that it was closed on May 26, 2023. Case manager finally emailed me on saying I was denied, and it was closed on May 21, 2023, and that I would be getting paperwork on how to do an appeal. I called my provider that afternoon just before they closed, and left a message about what was happening my provider called me and stated that they never received a request for the paperwork but did send it over as I was talking to them. On May 8, 2023, I still did not hear anything from Matrix, so I messaged my case manager to see if she got the paperwork, she replied back she didnt. On she stated she was going to email the request over to my provider. On May 1, 2023, I messaged my case manager about this update. My doctor was keeping me out another 6 weeks to get strength in my bicep. He can be reached at (888) 321-8131.I have been out with surgery since Dec. Ortiz has experience in handling claims that have been denied by Matrix. You should contact an experienced law firm like the Ortiz Law Firm to discuss your rights. If your long term disability claim is denied or terminated by Matrix Absence Management, you have legal rights. Given this background, we see that Matrix will manage a long term disability claim until the claim is resolved or the employee returns to work. Again, a TPA is usually not the plan administrator. A third-party administrator is a person or entity that adjudicates disability claims. However, the plan administrator is almost always the employer, not a TPA or an insurance company. The term “plan administrator” is often the source of confusion because it is often thought that when an employer uses a third-party administrator (TPA) to administer its plan and adjudicate claims, the TPA should be named as the plan administrator. The plan administrator is responsible for plan compliance. Matrix works closely with Reliance Standard Life Insurance Company.Ī long term disability plan administrator is typically the LTD plan sponsor or employer unless another party is designated.

Matrix Absence Management (“Matrix”) is a third-party administrator that evaluates claims for long term disability (LTD).
