Schools

Medical students face unique challenges when trying to protect their financial well-being. They have yet to earn an income but are amassing substantial student loan debt obligations. Training in an environment where they are exposed to medical conditions that could eliminate their ability to secure income protection once they begin training or enter their practice years.

Guaranteeing Coverage That Can Last A Lifetime

To address the threat created by exposure to an environmental hazard or an injury, medical schools can secure specially designed disability insurance contracts. These contracts eliminate the need for a student to satisfy any medical underwriting requirement and provides protection for all pre-existing medical conditions. 
 
These contacts will provide a medical student residents or fellow a monthly income that can be used to fill the gaps of any employer provided long term disability benefit. The coverage may also include a reimbursement for $200,000 of student loan obligations that would otherwise be put into forbearance and accrue additional debt as interest accumulates. 

Pricing Designed to Meet Real World Circumstances

The plans chosen by most medical schools recognize the financial constraints facing most graduates until they enter practice years. To address this issue, schools can secure coverage using a group policy that can be continued during the graduate’s training. The cost of this type of coverage is substantially less than the individual policies typically promoted by commission-based insurance agents.

Access to Greater Amounts of "Own Specialty" Protection During Practice Years

The coverage that’s been maintained during training guarantees the right to exchange this protection for an individual disability policy once training is over and the doctor enters practice years. 

This coverage is provided through an individual non-cancelable contract that guarantees that the rates and contact terms can never be changed by insurance company and defines total disability as being unable to perform one’s “own specialty” for the entire benefit period.
