Why Physician Residents Should Consider Disability Insurance

"What's cool about working with resident doctors is that they know they need disability insurance. Their largest asset... is their ability to earn an income. If they can't hold a scalpel 'just-so' or diagnose a patient, they're out 5, 10, 15, 20 million dollars (over their careers)."

On today’s episode of The Insurance Experts, I interview Christine Cox-West who is a disability insurance specialist. In particular, she is passionate about working with Resident Doctors.

Christine and I discuss why disability insurance is important to resident doctors and some of the strategies that she uses for the Residents.

Watch this video as Christine shares a cautionary tale about a Resident who had received an offer for disability insurance in a group setting, but lost the great offer when the Resident was no longer a part of the group even though health hadn’t changed.

There are a lot of similarities between disability and long term care including the importance of locking in a plan when you have the opportunity. It’s important to work with a specialist to find the plan that’s the best fit for your situation.
