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. What kind of BS is this? Has anyone else been forced to return to work while injured because of something like this? I thought disability insurance was for situations like this but apparently a doctor’s judgment can be disregarded? WTF? I’ve missed very little work over the years (almost 2 decades) and now that I need some time to recover I’m being treated like a liar? This one of the many reasons why I’m looking to retire early.Matrix Absence Management (“Matrix”) is a third-party administrator that evaluates claims for long term disability (LTD). I have enough PTO for about 4 weeks but after that I’ll need STD (I have STD insurance through my employer) and I’m afraid they will reject that claim because they seem to think they know better than a specialist physician. Basically calling BS on my need to be completely off work even though I’m not getting treatment every day. I got a call from them and I’m really put off by the questions they were asking and the attitude. My boss is fine with it but I have to use Matrix, an outside company who manages FMLA, short and long term disability.
