This streamlined approach simplifies access to essential insurance income protection and helps ensure you can secure the necessary financial support swiftly.

Why is Long Term Disability Insurance Essential for Physicians?

Long term disability insurance can be vital for replacing a portion of your income if you cannot work due to a prolonged illness or injury. While many physicians rely on employer-provided plans, these often fall short of covering the full extent of your financial needs. The TMA Member Long Term Disability Insurance Plan stands out from other disability policies because it includes benefits that are usually costly add-ons, offering significant added value such as:

• Own Occupation Coverage: Receive benefits if you cannot perform the duties specific to your medical specialty, ensuring that your specialized skills are protected.
• Partial/Residual Benefit: This feature provides financial support if you're able to work only part-time, helping your income remain stable during recovery.
• No Offsets: You receive benefits regardless of other insurance payouts, maximizing your financial security.
• Catastrophic Coverage: Automatically increases your benefit by 20% if you cannot perform two or more Activities of Daily Living (ADLs), offering additional support when needed most.
• Future Increase Option: This feature allows you to boost your coverage as your income grows without further underwriting, enabling you to adapt to your evolving financial needs.
• Student Loan Reimbursement: Adds 25% to your benefits (up to $250,000) to help manage your education loans, relieving the debt burden during tough times.
• 25% Savings Credit: This credit reduces your premium payments, potentially saving you thousands over the life of your policy and making coverage more affordable.
• Affordable Premium Rates: Tailored to fit your budget, offering comprehensive coverage without financial strain.
• Simplified Underwriting: Eliminates the need for income verification, making obtaining coverage easier.

The TMA Member Long Term Disability Insurance Plan is an ideal solution for young physicians seeking an affordable option that allows for coverage growth as their income increases. It also serves as a practical choice for active physicians looking to boost their existing coverage while keeping budget needs in mind.
