Expert appraisals for osteoarthritic diseases are rising, with younger patients and more men seeking assessments. Many claims for work interruption, particularly for private insurance, lack sufficient medical justification, highlighting a disconnect between chronic pain and disability compensation.

Area of Science:

  • Rheumatology
  • Occupational Medicine
  • Health Economics

Context:

  • Increasing demand for expert medical appraisals in osteoarthritic diseases.
  • Appraisals frequently involve the Swiss Office for Invalid Insurance (OAI) and private insurers (PRIV).
  • Analysis of 413 expert appraisal cases.

Purpose:

  • To analyze trends in expert appraisals for osteoarthritic diseases.
  • To evaluate the justification for work interruptions and disability claims.
  • To assess the outcomes of insurance appraisals and disputes.

Summary:

  • Mean applicant age has decreased significantly compared to a decade ago.
  • Vertebral pain is the primary complaint (85%), with fibromyalgia (8%) and depression (27%) also noted.

  • A significant proportion of work interruption requests, especially for PRIV, lacked sufficient medical justification (e.g., >50% for PRIV could not justify >20% disability).
  • Less than one-third of OAI and one-sixth of PRIV work interruptions were confirmed.
  • 19% of appraisals were disputed, with a low success rate for claimants.

    • Impact:

    • Chronic rheumatological complaints do not automatically lead to insurance compensation.
    • Practitioners may inadvertently contribute to the chronification of conditions by extending work interruptions for non-medical reasons.
    • Findings suggest a need for clearer medical criteria and justification for work disability claims in rheumatology.
