Time passes fast. Especially for physicians, who invest heavily in their education and training. Days turn into weeks, and months into years. Along the way you may get married, buy a home, have children. Perhaps you start your own practice or pursue a specialty. With each change that comes along, life has undoubtedly gotten more complex. Income, assets, investments, and savings likely have grown through the years.
As you were planning for retirement, you probably thought a lot about making sure you would have enough income to cover your medical expenses. However, dental care during retirement is an often-overlooked expense that can take a serious bite out of your hard-earned retirement income.
Retired physicians may be surprised to find out those twice a year visits to your dentist’s office are not covered under traditional Medicare. Medicare supplement plans don’t include dental insurance either. And although some Medicare Advantage managed care plans offer dental benefits, both the network and the coverage could be very limited.

For most physicians, disability insurance is a given. Indeed, it’s considered an essential form of income protection.
But assuming you have a disability insurance plan, it may surprise you to learn just how much of your future income is not protected.
In life we protect the things that are important to us. That can include our family, our health, our home – and for a practicing physician, that should include your income.
That’s why there’s disability insurance – to help provide income if we get ill or injured and can’t work for a long stretch of time.
Most of us don’t choose to take unnecessary risks, but accidents still happen. Accidents and injuries can happen anytime and anywhere: driving to the grocery store, while taking on a small home improvement project, or tripping on an uneven sidewalk.
Most of us don’t choose to take unnecessary risks, but accidents still happen. Injuries can occur in completely innocuous situations: a drive to the grocery store, during a small home improvement project, at a soccer game.
When you or a family member gets hurt, your health insurance will take care of a good portion of your medical bills. Still, there are additional medical and non-medical expenses that can accumulate quickly. Accident insurance can lend a helping hand financially.
