How True Own Occupation Insurance Benefits You

You invested more than 10 years and six figures to become a Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation Physician. Experts estimate that one in four professionals will experience a disability that threatens their livelihood.

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 isn’t enough.

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

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