How True Own Occupation Insurance Benefits You
You invested more than 12 years of your life and a considerable amount of money to practice medicine as a Diagnostic Radiologist. Experts estimate that one in four medical specialists who purchase disability insurance will experience a disability that requires a benefit payout.
According to Medscape, medical specialists need to invest between 2% and 6% of their annual income in disability insurance to be fully insured. Those who purchase stand-alone policies from their employer and later suffer an injury or illness discover that the coverage they thought they were getting is not enough.
Uninsured physicians discover they are ineligible for coverage altogether as insurance companies will consider an injury or illness a pre-existing condition.
True Own Specialty disability insurance from InsuranceMD will replace your full income tax-free even if you choose a career in another field or decide to continue to practice medicine.
Choose your own specialty disability plan from one of seven of the best disability carriers in the country.
