The Joint Early Intervention Service (JEIS) is a mandatory program providing proactive service to members to facilitate their return to work in a caring, safe, and timely manner. Members are contacted within six (6) working days of the start of their absence from work by a Healthcare Management Specialist (HCMS). The HCMS makes sure members receive the best possible care and, if appropriate, a coordinated rehabilitation plan. If members are unable to return to work after the LTD qualifying period, the HCMS helps them transfer to the LTD program. A primary factor for the success of the JEIS program is the collaboration and joint support of both union and employers.
