Dutch term or phrase:IS+IR0
In the same text as my last query, there is a table with the following headings:
Leeftijd
Gezondheidsverklaring
Huisartsenkeuring
Internistenkeuring
then under these headings (not leeftijd obviously!) they use the following abbreviation:
IS+IR0 t/m EUR 50.000
t/m I can manage but can someone help me please with IS+IR0 (the "0" looks like a zero rather than the letter "O" but I may be wrong...)
Thank you
Yes Kitty - I think it is company-specific and it does drive me a bit mad that the company (who are the customer as well) could not be bothered to answer my queries and explain what the abbreviations were... Would have saved a whole lot of work and effort from me and you all. Really grateful to you for trying to help out.
Thanks Charles! I checked this term on the internet and it seems to be company-specific terminology (i.e. used by your customer only).That explains why we all searched in vain :-)
Hi Erika, Sindy, Kitty and Margreet,
Have found out about IS (not from the customer - typical! but from a page tucked away on their website
IS = Invaliditeit Staking, ook wel PVI, Premievrijstelling bij invaliditeit
Thought you might like to know. Thank you so much for your help to all of you and especially to Sindy for invalidteitsrisico

1 day10 hrs confidence:
IR0
Independent Review Office
Explanation: If the abbreviation is Dutch and your context is related to occupational disability it may refer to the so-called 'Individuele Reïntegratie Overeenkomst'. For an explanation see f.i. http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/IRO
The abbreviation in your context may also refer to a so-called 'Independent Review Office'. An explanation is offered in the link below.
“An Independent Review Organization (IRO) is an intermediary that provides a ready source of timely, expert medical opinion that can be used to weigh both the medical and insurance sides of healthcare claims decisions. To deliver this, an IRO provides access to a breadth of specialist physicians who provide unbiased expertise that is otherwise unavailable to large self-insured companies handling their own claims management or associations and small to mid-sized companies using third-party administrators (TPA's).” www.1888pressrelease.com/independent-review-organization-al...
As for the IS, I have no idea whatsoever :-) Perhaps it refers to some kind of International Standard?

Asker: Thanks Kitty - I think Sindy must be right but thank you for your input
In any case, I think your IR0 has a zero at the end, not an O (same page: IR0, IR9).
What IS could stand for - I don't have a clue, sorry!

1 hr confidence:
individueel, status, reintegratie, revalidatie
Explanation: Hi Charles,
I cannot enter a confidence level below zero, and our ever alert moderator (you are right, of course, Evert, sorry) deleted my remarks in the ATA box. So I have to put my wild, wild guess here.
Try using these for Googling, perhaps it helps.
I = individueel / intern
S = status/som
R = reïntegratie, revalidatie
Reïntegratie/revalidatie is of course valid only if the insurance also covers serious bodily harm, rather than only death.
This could be the case if this is related to - for instance - a mortgage. So the insured person can continue to pay for the mortgage even if he/she is no longer able to generate any income.
Hi Charles, I agree with Sindy's answer too - I just hoped she'd come up with a useful explanation for the other abbreviation too.

Asker: Hi Margreet - have asked the customer but usuaully they do not get back to me... We will see. Thank you so much for your help. It does cover occupational disability as well....
Asker: Still no word from the customer Margreet... I think Sindy must be right about IR0 but hopefully will find out about IS and can let you know
