The system has been designed to allow either the employer or employee to initiate the online claim. It has a flexibility, the insurer says, that will also allow users to do part of the claim process online and part on paper. Systems behind the scenes will then match up the parts of each the claim while keeping all medical information confidential. Once a claim is submitted, the system will allow employers and employees to track its progress online.

This is another tool that enhances our leadership in disability service, said Scott Beliveau, vice president of Multiline Products for Sun Life Financial.

Our online claims system makes disability much easier for our customers to manage. Together with our international financial strength and broad selection of innovative products, our expertise in service makes Sun Life Financial the best choice for employers looking for the most value in group disability.
