Effective, January 1, 2021, Sedgwick will replace The Hartford as the Leave of Absence
Administrator for Boston Scientific. As a result, The Hartford will be transitioning the
management of any leave of absence that extends beyond the end of the year to Sedgwick,
with the exception of Short-term Disability Leaves. Sedgwick will support you
every step of the way during this transition, throughout your claim, and for any future
absence needs.
Boston Scientific and Sedgwick’s goal is to make this process as simple as possible for
you. Please review the BSC Letter
here
and the Sedgwick Guide
here that was
mailed to employees on a current leave to understand how this vendor change will impact
your leave as well as any additional actions you may need to take regarding your current
leave.
Boston Scientific is excited about this new partnership with Sedgwick. Sedgwick
is looking forward to serving your absence needs. Starting on January 1, 2021, you
can access your claim information 24/7 at
www.mySedgwick.com/BSCI
or by calling Sedgwick at 855-811-5701. If you have any questions, representatives
are available Monday through Friday between 7:00 AM - 8:30 PM Central Time.
