Return to Work Program Staff The Case Manager handling your claim will coordinate return to work services. You may be referred to a clinical specialist, such as a Nurse Consultant, Psychiatric Clinical Specialist, or Vocational Rehabilitation Consultant, who has advanced training and education to help people with disabilities return to work. One of our clinical specialists will work with you directly, as well as with local support services and resources. They have returned hundreds of individuals to meaningful, gainful employment. Rehabilitation Vendor Specialists In many situations, the services of independent vocational rehabilitation specialists may be utilized. Services are obtained at no additional cost to you; MetLife pays for all vendor services. Selecting a rehabilitation vendor is based on: 1. Attending physician's evaluation and recommendations; 2. Your individual vocational needs; and 3. Vendor's credentials, specialty, reputation, and experience. When working with vendors, we continue to collaborate with you and your doctor to develop an appropriate return to work plan.
