How True Own Occupation Insurance Benefits You

You invested a decade and six figures pursuing a career in Emergency Medicine. What you may not know is that one in four medical specialists will suffer a career-threatening disability.

According to Medscape, physicians in Emergency Medicine should be investing at least 2% of their annual income in disability insurance. Those who purchase employer-sponsored disability policies and file a claim discover that the plan they thought they bought will not support their current standard of living.

And uninsured physicians who seek disability insurance claims after an illness or injury are classified ineligible as insurance companies consider their injury and its correlated health challenges a pre-existing condition.

Unlike most disability insurance providers, 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.

Don’t wait and don’t settle. Get coverage today.
