How True Own Occupation Insurance Benefits You

You spent a decade pursuing your Endocrinology career. Current statistics show that one in four physicians who purchase disability insurance will eventually file a disability claim.

Experts estimate that specialty physicians should be investing at least 2% of their income in disability insurance. Yet those who buy into employer-sponsored plans are shocked to find the coverage they purchased does not support their current standard of living.

In addition, physicians who bypass disability insurance altogether find that they are ineligible for future insurance plans as their injury and its correlated health challenges are considered 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.

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