Disability Insurance
Are There Hidden Risks In Your Employer's Disability Insurance Plan?
As an employed physician, you may have accrued sick time or vacation time that can be used when faced with a temporary illness or injury. But it may not be sufficient for the duration of your recovery. Short term disability insurance is a crucial safety net that can help provide financial support during periods of medical leave when you are unable to earn your regular salary.
Our new TMA Member Short Term Disability Plan, issued by The Prudential Insurance Company of America, was created to provide employed physicians with an affordable, guaranteed way to access vital income protection.
TMA members under the age of 55 are guaranteed acceptance for a cash benefit of up to $1,500/week. Benefits are paid directly to you for up to 13 weeks.
Short term disability coverage is often offered as an elective benefit of employment. However, some employed physicians work as independent contractors or in private practice. We've made our group plan accessible on an individual basis outside of an employment setting.
TMA members under age 55 can quickly enroll for up to $1,500/week benefit with guaranteed acceptance. Coverage up to $2,500/week benefit is available with underwriting. To start, click the button below.
