Specialty Specific Disability Insurance

Seek to guard your ability to earn with disability insurance built around your profession. We help physicians and dentists evaluate options based on their role and responsibilities.

Why Specialty Specific Disability Insurance Matters for Physicians and Dentists

Understand the Types of Own-Occupation Disability Insurance

Know your options before selecting coverage that supports your specialty.

Physicians and dentists face distinct income risks if they are unable to perform their specific medical duties. We guide you through the different types of own-occupation disability insurance to help you find protection that matches your training, income, and future plans.

True Own-Occupation Disability Insurance
Provides full benefits if you’re unable to work in your specific medical specialty, even if you earn income elsewhere. This is the most comprehensive and recommended form of own-occupation coverage.
Modified Own-Occupation Disability Insurance
Pays benefits if you can’t perform your current role, but your policy may be reduced or voided if you begin earning income from another occupation while disabled.
Transitional Own-Occupation Disability Insurance
Covers you if you take a different job post-disability, but your benefit may be reduced based on how much you earn in your new role. It’s a partial protection option.

Disability coverage aligned with your specialty, training, and earning potential.

Disability insurance provides essential protection for your ability to earn and maintain your lifestyle. Careers like surgery, dentistry, and specialty medicine come with unique physical and financial challenges. We help you understand own-occupation disability coverage options that fit your specialty, income, and long-term plans so you can focus on your work with confidence.
