AT&T offers disability coverage for their employees administered by Sedgwick CMS. Their plan exploits many loopholes in the Federal Law regulating these plans. They will and have terminated benifits for reasons not related at all to the recipients disability or ability to be gainfully employed. Claiments are held under "virtual house arrest" and are not allowed to accomany thier family on even short day trips without obtaining "permission" which is cannnot be obtained in a timely manner if at all. They have and will schedule the claiment for multiple Independant Medical Exams and the doctors in these plans know better than to "bite the hand that feeds them" and do everthing i thier power to find the "claiment" fit to return to work (somewhere else as AT&T has terminated thier employment after one year on disability). This plan is nothing short of a "scam" as AT&T has little intention of prividing the benefits as promised. Sedgwick ruthlessly administers the loophole clauses in Federal Law the plan is designed to exploit and deny benefits to those that are, in fact, genuinely disabled.

SEDGWICK CMS HANDLED MY W/C CLAIM AND LONG TERM DISABILITY CLAIM, THEY ALWAYS SEEMED ONE STEP AHEAD OF MY LAWYER AND I COULD'NT UNDERSTAND IT.THEY CUT OF MY DISABILITY EVEN THOUGH MY DR. SAID I NEEDED ANOTHER SURGURY. I CALLED THEM 5 MONTHS LATER AND ASKED WHY THEY STOPPED PAYING FOR MY W/C MEDS, THE WOMEN ON THE PHONE WHO WOULD ONLY GIVE HER FIRST NAME LOOKED IT UP ON THE COMPUTER AND LISTED OFF ALL MY PERSONAL MEDICATION. I ASKED HER HOW SHE HAD THAT INFOMATION SINCE I NO LONGER WORDED FOR THE COMPANY AND SHE HUNG UP. I DID SOME CHECKING AND FOUND OUT SEDWICK AND UNITED HEATH CARE ARE IN BED TOGETHER (LOOK IT UP ) LOOK UP THE JURIS PROGRAM .WHO OWNS WHO'S STOCKS .I HAVE ASKED MY SENATOR TO INVESTIGATE THIS WHOLE CROOKED DEAL AND IF HE WONT I'M TAKING IT TO THE MEDIA, THEN LET ALL THE DIRT COME OUT AND SEE HOW MANY PEOPLE THEY SCREWED OVER THE YEARS. DONT TAKE MY WORD FOR IT LOOK IT UP THEN CALL YOUR SENATOR, THAT IS IF HES NOT GETTING KICK BACKS TOO.

Sedgwick CMS continues to contact my doctors to obtain my personal medical records without my authorization and permission.

This is a very serious matter. They need to let me know what they have done with my personal medical records since obtained and why. They also need to stop it.
