Individuals

Individual disability policies are designed to address the protection needs at every stage of a healthcare professional’s career path.

For healthcare professionals starting out on their professional journeys, our focus is on making sure they have secured the right to protect the increases in income they can expect during practice years and filling in the gaps of the coverage provided by a teaching hospital during training.

During practice years we help identify opportunities to insure against threats to the viability of one’s practice, cover student loan obligations and make sure money can continue to be set aside for retirement and insure income not protected by an employer’s benefit package.

Did you know?

Business overhead expense policies can cover hiring a locum tenens

Medical underwriting can be waived when a practice purchases individual policies as part of its benefit package

Rates and provisions of individual policies are guaranteed not to change until the age of 65. The same isn’t true for group or association coverage.

Most employer provided long term disability coverage will require you to be out for as long as six consecutive months in order to qualify for benefits

Graduating physician who are entering practice can obtain coverage that’s greater than their actual earnings

Contributions cannot be made into a qualified retirement account in the event of a disability

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

The “guaranteed right” to increase the benefit amount of an individual policy will be reduced as you age.

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

Residents and fellows can insure 100% or more of their incomes during training

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

Voluntary offerings to large healthcare populations can be offered without medical underwriting and permanently discounted rates.

If your employer provides you with long term disability coverage for free, any benefit amount provided during a claim will be taxed.

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

Group insurance policies usually only protect base salary

Individual policies can be used to raise the income placement percentage and maximum monthly benefit for employed physicians and executives

Group long term disability policies can be obtained by practices with fewer than 10 full time employees
