If you've been injured or become ill, it's important to protect your financial future. Physician disability insurance can provide a safety net in case of an emergency that prevents work; this type offers monthly payments based on health status (or length-of time) typically up until age 65.
Disability insurance can be a complicated topic, but it's important to know the different options available. The two most notable features are term length and definition - when shopping for disability coverage make sure that both aspects match up with what will work best in terms of timing as well as severity level if the need arises before expiration or lapse (that means no renewals). For term lengths, there are 2 main forms of physician disability insurance: short-term and long-term. Short-term disability insurance coverage begins 5–10 days after your disability, provides 3–6 months of coverage, replaces 60–80 percent of your monthly income, and covers non-life-threatening disabilities like back injuries, arthritis, and maternity leave.
Long-term disability insurance coverage begins 3–6 months, replaces 60% of your salary, covers you until you’re 65 years old, and covers a variety of catastrophic disabilities including:
Cancer
Mental health disorders
Vehicle accidents
Bone breaks
Musculoskeletal disorders
The second most important aspect of physician disability insurance is your disability definition. In order to qualify for disability insurance benefits, you have to meet the definition of disability that is outlined in your policy. The best and most comprehensive definition we recommend all physicians to get is true own-occupation, which we explain in Chapter 2 of our Guide. The most comprehensive form of disability insurance is true own-occupation because it pays you your full untaxed benefit amount if you are unable to perform duties in a certain job.
For example, say you’re a doctor in the oncology department of a clinic. If you become disabled and have true own-occupation disability insurance, you will be able to collect your full benefits, and still be able to work as a professor of oncology or any other job unrelated to your specialty.
