Disability Management
A STRONGER SAFETY NET FOR HSA MEMBERS
How would you take care of your family if you got sick or became unable to work?
We assume our health benefits will take care of us, but for many years disability management programs have varied from employer to employer, leaving a patchwork of coverage with many holes.
That's why HSA has worked to develop the Enhanced Disability Management Program (EDMP). Jointly developed with employers and other unions over several years. EDMP is an employee-centred, proactive and customized disability management program for employees with both occupational and non-occupational illnesses and injuries.
Right now, EDMP is available for HSA members covered by the Health Science Professionals Collective Agreement, the Nurses Bargaining Association Agreement and the Community Health Subsector Collective Agreement.
EDMP FOR AFFILIATE EMPLOYERS
Members of affiliate employers under the Health Science Professionals Bargaining Association, the Community Bargaining Association and Nurses Bargaining Association collective agreements are also participating in the Enhanced Disability Management Program. Lifemark and Acclaim are contracted Disability Management Organizations that provide Disability Management Case Managers for affiliate employers under the EDMP Program.
