Sazyes' neurological expertise in absenteeism and disability

Neurological expertise in absenteeism and occupational disability

A diagnostic opinion is generally requested for neurological examnination in absenteeism and disability. However, it is the limitations that have the most important consequences and in many cases this is explicitly requested.

The goal of neurological expertise in absenteeism and occupational disability

The goal of a neurological expertise in absenteeism and occupational  disability is generally to determine whether there are limitations associated with a neurological condition. Indications include a stagnating recovery, the substantiation of a claim assessment, the substantiation of a WIA file, wage penalty prevention or wage penalty repair.
Our neurologists are familiar with the legal assessment frameworks and in that context have knowledge of insurance medical instruments such as the FML.

Neurological expertise in absenteeism and occupational disability provides clarity in:

  • questions about the presence or absence of a neurological disorder
  • determining functional limitations
  • determining usable possibilities
  • stagnating recovery or reintegration
  • the evaluation of previous treatments
  • identifying treatment options
  • determining the prognosis
A neurological expertise from Sazyes provides clarity

How does a neurological examination proceed?

Application

Once we receive the request for a neurological consultation, we will contact the person requesting the examination. within one business day to schedule the examination.

The examination

The examination consists of two parts. The first part includes a detailed discussion with the neurologist about symptoms and limitations. The second part consists of a physical examination in which higher cerebral functions (thinking, memory, planning), cranial nerves (functions in the face), motor functions (movement, strength), coordination, reflexes and sensibility (feeling) are tested, among other things.

Additional research

If, after the examination, there is still uncertainty about the cause of the symptoms, the neurologist may choose to request additional (imaging) testing such as an MRI scan. This will of course be discussed beforehand.

Information on progress

Our secretariat can inform you about the progress of the examination at any time.

Right of inspection and correction

The report is subject to inspection and correction rights. This means that, before sending the report to the applicant, the person concerned receives a copy of the draft report and can indicate whether there is an incorrect representation of facts. Depending on the context in which the examination takes place, the person concerned can also block the transmission of the report.
