Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about physician disability insurance.

What makes physician disability insurance different?

Physician disability insurance offers specialized "own-occupation" coverage, meaning you receive benefits if you can't perform your specific medical specialty even if you can work in another capacity. It also typically offers higher benefit amounts to protect physicians' higher incomes.

When should I purchase disability insurance?

The best time to purchase is early in your career, ideally during residency or fellowship. Premiums are lower when you're younger and healthier, and you'll secure coverage before developing any medical conditions that might affect insurability.

How much coverage do I need?

Most financial advisors recommend coverage for 60-70% of your gross income. However, the appropriate amount depends on your specific financial situation, including expenses, debt, savings, and other income sources.

Is employer-provided disability coverage sufficient?

Employer-provided coverage is rarely sufficient for physicians. These policies often have limited definitions of disability, cap benefits well below a physician's income, and benefits are typically taxable. Additionally, coverage ends if you leave your employer.

What is the elimination period?

The elimination period (or waiting period) is the time between the onset of disability and when you begin receiving benefits. Common periods are 90 or 180 days. Longer elimination periods typically result in lower premiums.
