An unexpected injury or health crisis can test the foundation of your practice overnight. If you had to step away from your practice today, what state would it be in 30, 60, or 90 days from now?
If a sudden injury or illness prevented you from practicing, how long could your business function without you? While many physicians have disability insurance (DI) to cover their mortgage and groceries, those benefits rarely stretch far enough to cover office rent, staff salaries, equipment leases, and more.
Your practice stands as a testament to your life’s work, representing years of dedication, commitment, and hard work. You’ve built a career that gives you the independence to provide the best care for your patients while working to secure your financial future. But if a sudden injury or illness prevented you from practicing, how long could your business be sustained without you?
As a physician, your practice is more than just a profession—it's a testament to your dedication and hard work. However, unforeseen circumstances like illness or injury can disrupt even the most well-established practices. In today’s inflationary economy, rising costs may outpace your ability to fund emergency savings, leaving your practice vulnerable if you’re unable to work.
As a practice owner, you chose independence because it allows you to provide the best care for your patients, on your terms. Your practice is a testament to your dedication and hard work. However, life is unpredictable, and a personal injury or illness can disrupt even the most well-established practices. This is why it's crucial to prepare and protect your practice against such disruptions.
Most people know that insurance is there to help protect what’s important in our personal and professional lives. But as a woman physician what you might not know is that the pricing for certain kinds of insurance can be different for women than it is for men.
That’s because in many cases, premiums for insurance products are based on the gender of the person seeking coverage. And often, women bear higher costs because they represent greater risk to insurance companies.
In the current inflationary economy, many practice owners are encountering rising expenses that may surpass their ability to sustain their emergency savings. If they were to become unable to work due to an illness or injury, the funds they have managed to save for emergencies might not provide sufficient coverage for the practice if its revenue ceases. The loss of earnings could lead to a cascade effect of losses that extend beyond the financial aspect - loss of personnel, loss of patients, and loss of their reputation in their community.
As a physician, you have invested much time, effort, and expense in growing your independent practice. At a moment's notice, an injury or unexpected illness can have devastating effects on what you have painstakingly built up. Now is the time to help protect your practice from financial injury. Business Overhead Expense Insurance (BOE) is disability insurance designed to cover the expenses of your practice when you are unable to work due to a covered illness or injury.
