Disability
The Medical Center provides a combined short- and long-term disability benefit for protection of income when an employee can’t work—or can work only part-time—because of illness or injury.
The UNUM insurance company manages all short- and long-term disability claims. Contact UNUM at 800.858.6843 with questions, claims, or submissions.
