One of the most important features of a physician disability insurance policy isn’t the monthly benefit, it’s the definition of disability.
In this video, Scott Nelson-Archer, co-owner of MD Disability Quotes, explains the differences between true own specialty disability insurance, own occupation and not working, and modified own occupation definitions that may require you to work in another job after a claim.
Understanding these definitions is essential for physicians because your policy language determines how benefits are paid if you’re unable to perform the duties of your medical specialty.
Scott also shares a real-world example of how a surgeon who can no longer operate may still qualify for full disability benefits under a true own specialty definition, while other policy definitions may significantly limit those benefits.
