To qualify for the discount, applications must be submitted prior to graduation.
What to look for in a disability policy for medical residents and physicians:
- Specialty specific language. Also known as “own occupation” or “regular occupation” (depending on the company). This means the policy will pay you benefits if you cannot work in your medical specialty, even if you can work in another specialty or occupation.
- Non cancelable, guaranteed renewable .This means that once you have your policy, the company can never raise your rates or modify your policy. Most association plans do not have this feature, leaving the premiums precarious to large premium increases in the future.
- Discounts. If you are able to obtain the same policy for less, take advantage of this opportunity.
- High company ratings. Look for companies with an A+ or better rating from AM Best to ensure company stability.
