By: Starling Minds

Last updated: February 7, 2024

For one of Canada’s largest insurance plans within the education community, disability leaders were interested in a solution case managers can refer to without inflating claim costs. With educators becoming more stressed and anxious due to limited and shrinking classroom resources, the insurance provider onboarded a digital therapy solution proven to differentiate their offerings. It also better served their members’ mental and emotional health through the power of online cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) that’s available 24/7, immediately, and requires zero wait times.

The Challenge

  • Escalating disability claim costs
  • Reluctance from case managers to add therapy/teletherapy to file for fear of inflating costs

  • Needed a solution with the service and disability management expertise to deliver results
