About the report

Designed for Health offers an in-depth analysis that is unique in the market. To create this report, we compiled and analyzed data from over 1.5-million¹ plan members with long-term disability insurance.

Important insights in the report include:

• Mental disorder claims continue to drive claims overall.
• Through the pandemic, younger plan members in particular saw a rise in volume of claims related to mental disorders.
• Delayed or missed screening tests due to the pandemic are likely to cause cancer and circulatory claims to increase in the coming years.
• Musculoskeletal-related claims are likely to begin to rise as more people return to work and normal life.
• We’ve seen the potential of new innovative care solutions to support employee health.
