- Your treating physician’s office may require you to sign an authorization form to allow Lincoln Financial Group to request your medical records directly from your physician. If they do not provide the form, click HERE to print out a generic form to take to your physician’s office.
- Follow up with your physician’s office to make sure they are sending all of the information requested by Lincoln Financial Group in order to avoid delays in your short term disability being approved.

- Make sure your physician is communicating the proper information to Lincoln Financial Group.
- Once you are on Long Term Disability, your health and welfare benefits will be billed to you through Veolia’s direct bill vendor, Optum Financial. You will receive a letter from Optum Financial indicating your monthly insurance amounts due and instructions on paying your bill. Failure to pay your monthly insurance premiums will result in termination of your benefits.
