How True Own Occupation Insurance Benefits You

You invested over 12 years of your life and six figures to practice medicine as an Oncologist. Experts estimate that one in four medical specialists will experience a disability at some point during their career.

According to Medscape, medical specialists need to invest at least 2% of their annual income in disability insurance to protect their income. 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 isn’t enough.

Uninsured physicians discover they are ineligible for coverage altogether as insurance companies will consider their injury or illness a pre-existing condition.

True Own Specialty disability insurance from InsuranceMD will replace your full income tax-free whether you choose a career in another field or decide to continue to practice medicine.

Choose a True Own Specialty disability plan from among seven of the best insurance carriers in the country.
