Is insuring your income enough?

Insuring your income in the event of a disabling event is an important first step in protecting your ability to maintain your way of life and the people who depend on you. But your protection needs don’t stop there.

For practicing professionals there’s also the need to consider replacing the retirement plan contributions you would expect to make every year and making sure you have funds in place to cover your student loan obligations.

And for physicians who own a practice, there’s the need to make sure you can pay your staff, and other ongoing expenses that keep your doors open until you recover (or choose to sell your practice) and have the funding to buy out a disabled partner.

To learn more about these often-overlooked needs that can threaten your financial well-being and to discuss your personal needs please complete the form found below or go to the individual page or practice page.

Business overhead expense policies can cover hiring a locum tenens

Taking medication or seeking counseling to manage stress can affect your ability to secure coverage

Group insurance policies usually only protect base salary

Some policies that insure student loan obligations require the insured to be out completely and not be expected to return to work ………ever.

The premiums paid by a practice owner for a policy that insures their ongoing business expenses is 100% tax deductible

Residents and fellows can forfeit their right to a teaching hospital’s “guaranteed issue” coverage if they apply elsewhere and are denied due to medical conditions
