LET’S START WITH THE BASICS

Why would I need Disability Insurance as a Physician?

The future of your physician career is dependent on the condition that you maintain your ability to perform your duties. 

A back injury, vision loss or hand-related issue could put an end to it all because these injuries will take your ability to complete your job. This would leave you as a physician without any way to utilize your knowledge and skills or make a proper income.

After years spent training just for this moment when you are finally able to provide yourself, the last thing you would want is to have that all crumb because of an unexpected injury or illness.

WHAT ABOUT GROUP COVERAGE

Isn’t my group coverage enough?

You might be covered by your group policy if you’re not financially independent yet and don't have a true own-occupation disability insurance policy already, you are not properly protecting your income.

Group policies are what's known as "any occupation," which means that when ill or injured and unable to work in medicine any longer--you will only receive benefits if it's no longer possible for YOU TO WORK AT ALL. 

This is because they consider this an 'injury' rather than just being laid off due lack of interest in employment opportunities available within the marketplace right now.
