Disability Insurance for Physicians

Posted on: Friday, May 1, 2009

All physicians require disability insurance on the job. From your first job out of school to your own private practice, here are the facts that you need on getting insured properly. Even if you are employed and you have insurance through your employer, your coverage may not extend to everything it needs to.

Insurance for Your Retirement Contributions

If you are injured and can’t work, you may receive a settlement, but how much of it will go towards retirement? Probably nothing. Products from The Guardian Life Insurance Company of America and other insurance companies will pay for your retirement savings if you are disabled, giving you complete piece of mind.

Overhead Expense Protection

This type of coverage is a necessity if you own your own practice. This business insurance will continue to pay bills, salaries, and any other overhead associated with your practice for the term of your disability. This will buy you some time to try to figure out whether or not you want to keep your practice and give your employees piece of mind should something happen to you.

Individual Disability Insurance (IDI)

This is the coverage that everyone needs. You should shop around for packages that are tailored to medical professionals, which an insurance broker would be happy to find for you so that you don’t have to waste your valuable time on it. One of the places that employers are scaling back on is benefits coverage, and for many this means cutbacks in disability insurance. Once you have a good look at your current policy, you may find that it has a lot of holes that you have to fill. Again, this is something an insurance broker can do for you.
