Services Offered to Insurers by PsyBar:
File Reviews – written by a psychologist, psychiatrist or physicians in other specialties for co-morbid claims. PsyBar can provide these both for claimants with psychiatric/ psychological problems only, and for “co-morbid” cases involving medical problems.
Independent Psychiatric, Psychological or Neuropsychological Evaluations—performed by a doctoral level psychologist, neuropsychologist, or a psychiatrist.
Neuropsychological Screening – determines whether there is evidence of cognitive problems in the insured. This can provide a diagnosis, description of cognitive deficits, treatment recommendations, and a discussion of claimant limitations and restrictions.
Psychological or Psychiatric Evaluation for Short Term Disability Claimants – brief assessment designed to determine a claimant’s diagnosis, prognosis, and suggestions for how treatment might better facilitate return to work.
On-Site/Remote Nurse Coaching – Registered Nurse Case Managers assist either on site or telephonically with specialized coaching designed to upskill your claims staff.
