Physicians’ Catastrophic Disability Insurance

A catastrophic disability insurance policy has one very specific purpose: to account for any expenses that arise as a result of being unable to perform activities of daily living. It does NOT replace your income. It is important to consider this benefit in a different category than traditional doctor disability insurance, as different criteria are used to determine qualification of this benefit.
