In life, if you wait until you are ready to do something important, it could be too late.
Most people – physicians included – know they should have life insurance. But they often procrastinate when it comes to actually getting a plan. Unfortunately there can be a real price to pay if we wait too long to “take the leap.”
Beware The Cost Of Waiting
As medical professionals you understand the “cost of waiting.” If we postpone certain procedures or diagnostic tests we could face increased risk to our health. Likewise, in the case of life insurance, the cost of waiting too long can also be high. Here’s why:
- The longer you wait, the more expensive life insurance can become. Statistically, as we get older, our risk for various health conditions increases. Consequently, premium rates are higher as you get older. When a 35 year-old physician gets a plan the rates are likely to be a lot less than for a 45 year-old.
- If you continue to put it off and your health changes dramatically before you apply for coverage, your cost could increase substantially. Or worse yet, you may not be able to get approved for coverage at all.
- The ultimate cost of waiting is what happens when you simply never get a policy – potentially leaving behind financial distress for family members when you are no longer here.
