How True Own Occupation Insurance Benefits You

You invested more than 12 years and up to $100,000 to practice medicine as a Radiation 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 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 suffer an accident or illness discover that the coverage they thought they were getting isn’t enough.

And 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 from among seven of the best disability insurance carriers in the country.

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