Re: Disability insurance

Most physicians will own some individual disability insurance to best protect themselves.

While some hospitals mandate that you enroll in their group Long Term Disability (LTD) insurance plan, others offer disability insurance on a voluntary basis.

Depending upon your medical specialty, salary and career plans, at the very least, you should understand the pros and cons of your group LTD plan and investigate how it compares to individual coverage.

At that point, you can decide if you want to replace your group LTD (if possible), supplement your group LTD or keep things as they are.

If you would like to discuss the specifics of your situation, I would be happy to help.

You can also go to my website and read several of my "Disability Insurance and Financial Planning Articles for Physicians". You should find them to be very informative.
