Proposed capability: These services are in development. Do not send claimant records, PHI, or identifiable case data through this website or by email inquiry. Any pilot requires a written scope, confidentiality terms, and an approved secure environment before case data is shared.

LTD & SSDI INTELLIGENCE

Better SSDI referrals begin with better disability intelligence.

Move beyond basic referral checklists. DIG is developing an approach that brings Social Security disability policy, medical evidence evaluation, and vocational analysis together to help LTD insurers, SSDI coordination vendors, and disability claims administrators identify viable SSDI referrals and prepare stronger case files.

THE OPERATIONAL CHALLENGE

Not every LTD claim is ready for an SSDI referral.

Screening can miss material insured-status issues, listing requirements, vocational questions, and gaps in longitudinal medical evidence. Those missed details can create unnecessary referrals, repeated development, and avoidable delays.

DIG's proposed workflow is designed to flag those issues early, with specific findings a trained reviewer can verify.

BUILT AROUND SSA ADJUDICATION

Policy-aware analysis, not generic document summaries.

DIG's foundation is in disability determination, evidence assessment, policy interpretation, and quality review across the SSA lifecycle.

The goal: a clear, traceable assessment of what the file supports, what is missing, and what should happen next. SSA standards inform SSDI readiness only; private LTD plan terms remain separate and govern the LTD claim.

PROPOSED SERVICE MODULES

One intelligence layer. Six practical workflows.

Modular capabilities can be evaluated individually before any integration into an existing claims platform.

01 / TRIAGE

SSDI referral readiness

Screen key eligibility factors, available medical evidence, claimed onset, and potential insured-status or development obstacles.

02 / MEDICAL

Evidence gap detection

Compare documented findings with applicable SSA medical criteria, flag unsupported elements, and identify targeted follow-up needs.

03 / VOCATIONAL

Functional and vocational signals

Organize functional evidence and identify occupation-related issues that may warrant further professional evaluation.

04 / QUALITY

Cited case assessments

Produce reviewer-ready assessments referencing source evidence and applicable SSA policy for confirmation by qualified staff.

05 / OPERATIONS

Referral prioritization

Segment files by readiness, unresolved issues, and required next steps without treating a screening score as an adjudicative decision.

06 / REPORTING

Portfolio insights

Aggregate workflow trends, documentation completeness, and development bottlenecks, subject to available partner data.

WHAT PARTNERS RECEIVE

Usable findings, not another black-box score.

  • 02Identified eligibility and policy questions
  • 03Evidence-linked medical and vocational observations
  • 04Ranked evidence-development recommendations

ILLUSTRATIVE OUTPUT

Case action summary

Referral status
Further development recommended
Issue identified
Functional limitations are alleged, but recent supporting treatment evidence is incomplete.
Suggested next action
Obtain updated treating-source evidence addressing specific functional limitations and dates.

Illustrative only; not a real claim, medical conclusion, or prediction of an SSA decision.

LOW-RISK ENTRY

Begin with a measured historical-case pilot.

A pilot tests whether the proposed outputs are accurate and useful against cases whose outcomes are already known, before any operational commitment.

01Define the cohort

Select a bounded set of lawfully provided, appropriately de-identified historical cases.

02Set the comparison

Agree on screening questions, known outcomes, and reviewer standards.

03Evaluate the outputs

Measure source accuracy, issue identification, review effort, and actionability.

04Decide on scale

Document results and determine whether operational integration is justified.

Written scope first

Pilot terms, confidentiality, permitted use, and an approved secure environment are agreed in writing before any case data is processed.

Human oversight

Qualified staff review every finding. Outputs are decision support, never insurer determinations, SSA decisions, or medical diagnoses.

No outcome guarantees

Results are measured against agreed criteria. DIG does not promise SSDI awards, referral volumes, or recoveries.

DATA HANDLINGAny access to sensitive claimant information requires an agreed security, privacy, permitted-use, and human-oversight framework before processing. No PHI is accepted through this website or email inquiry.

A TARGETED DISCUSSION

See where SSDI intelligence could fit into your LTD workflow.

DIG is exploring structured pilot engagements with LTD insurers, SSDI coordination vendors, and disability claims administrators, tailored to your existing process and measurable operational questions.

Proposed services require scope, validation, and written agreement. DIG does not make insurer or SSA benefit determinations or medical diagnoses, or guarantee awards, offsets, savings, or outcomes. Please do not include claimant information in your inquiry.
