Making Life Easier for Legal Professionals and Clients
Red Health makes life convenient for legal professionals and their clients by providing an alternative option in obtaining medical opinion. This service was designed by identifying the barriers within the TPD and IP claim process and working with our medical experts to create a solution that delivers quality outcomes.
Medical Attendant's Statement (MAS)
What is MAS and Why It Matters?
The Medical Attendant’s Statement (MAS) is a critical document for TPD or IP claims. It provides insurers with detailed medical insights, including diagnosis dates, treatment history, and capacity for employment. MAS forms often require input from multiple practitioners, but Red Health bridges the gap by offering independent medical review when treating doctors are unavailable. Reducing delays for time critical TPD or IP matters.
Why Red Health for MAS?
- Independent medical review when treating doctors are unavailable.
- Reduced delays and specially developed TPD and IP processes.
- Comprehensive medical opinions for insurer and trustee clauses.
Financial Efficiencies That Matter
Our TPD Assist service is designed to only deliver what is needed for TPD and IP matters. That means services are more affordable than complete IMEs, and the file review process ensures claimants rarely need to attend assessments with medical experts. This efficiency helps superannuation balances go further, important in critical situations.
Permanent Incapacity Certificate (PIC)
Unlocking Early Access to Superannuation
The Permanent Incapacity Certificate (PIC) enables early access to superannuation benefits after a claim is accepted or a settlement is reached. While often seen as a mere administrative step, PICs are essential for trustees managing funds and for claimants seeking financial stability. Red Health ensures PIC completion is fast, accurate, and compliant—helping examinees unlock benefits sooner.
Our PIC Advantage
- Quick turnaround to move the matter forward.
- Compliance with superannuation and insurance terminology.
- Trusted by legal firms and trustees.
TPD Short Report
Quick Expert Opinions for Complex Cases
Our TPD Short Report service provides concise, expert opinions on incapacity, answering fewer than five targeted questions. Delivered within five business days, it supports insurers, trustees, and legal firms in making informed decisions efficiently.
Why Choose This Service?
For matters that require additional medical opinion that standard MAS or PIC forms don’t cover – have our experts respond directly to pertinent directions in the matter.
- Ideal for quick clarifications.
- Cost-effective alternative to full assessments.
- Backed by experienced medical experts across a variety of specialties.
