Medical Restrictions

Overview

Medical Restrictions Definition:

A medical restriction applies to a physical or mental impairment that may restrict an employee from fulfilling one or more specific job responsibilities.

Medical Restrictions are obtained from one of two third party administrators Lumen utilizes; Sedgwick for Workers' Compensation claims and Reed Group (Lumen Disability Services - "Sedgwick") for "off job" medical restrictions claims. (ALL EMPLOYEES)
