Hello,

Just wandering did anyone get approved for short term disability when they had their surgery?

I suppose it depends on your work coverage. I've checked with mine and it just says we are covered for any medical procedure but it must be approved. I would think that if the insurance is paying for the procedure STD would cover it. I know they can't disclose to your company or boss why you are taking STD (not even HR).

I did. I work at a hospital and I was approved for short term disability for the four weeks I was off. [emoji846]

Yes

I was approved by GWL in Canada, and my surgery was in Mexico.

Thanks everyone [emoji4]

I had approved STD that was extended to six weeks due to a slight complication. Today is my last day of STD. [emoji853]
