EBS has the expertise to process your social security disability and supplemental security income cases including claims involving psychiatric conditions.

EBS patient advisors have proven themselves to be an invaluable asset to SSDI/SSI Department.  They have established contacts and sources within the Social Security Administration (SSA) and with various healthcare providers.

This level of expertise has allowed EBS to distinguish and submit SSI claims to the SSA based on a profile of need.  Below are the descriptions of these categories:

• TERI Cases - This special classification defines terminally ill patients who are not expected to survive.  These claims are handled on an expedited basis due to the time limitations imposed by the patient's medical condition.
• Presumptive Cases - This classification applies to claims in which the patient's disability is visible or readily identified.  Examples of such cases include AIDS, loss of limbs, complete paralysis, etc.
• Categorically Eligible Cases - Candidates falling within this classification of cases must be or have been disabled for twelve (12) consecutive months and the disability must be the result of at least one of the thirteen(13)impairments defined by the SSA Below:

1. Musculoskeletal System
2. Special Senses & Speech
3. Respiratory System
4. Hemic and Lymphatic System
5. Endocrine System and Obesity
6. Digestive System
7. Genital-Urinary System
8. Neoplastic Disorders
9. Skin Disorders
10. Neurological System
11. Mental Disorders
12. Cardiovascular System
13. Immune System

EBS has developed a processing procedure for patients/claimants seeking disability benefits from the SSA.  We have worked very closely with Social Security Administrations and Disability Determination Sections in Developing procedures and specific forms to help expedite the processing of SSI claims.  All referrals submitted to SSA are prescreened by EBS staff.  This measure benefits local SSA offices by reducing the number of applications filed unnecessarily.
