As an important factor for financial security, physician disability insurance is a type of insurance that provides income in the event that you are unable to work due to an injury or illness. Your disability could be from a long-term illness to a disabling accident, which either could take your career and financial stability.
It’s important to know the difference between the two main types of disability insurance: short-term and long-term. As we explain in Chapter 1 of our Disability Insurance Guide, short- and long-term disability are often distinguished by how long they’ll keep paying your income. Short-term disability insurance generally covers physicians between 3–6 months, replaces up to 80 percent of your income while you’re covered, and covers common short-term disabilities such as arthritis, childbirth, or maternity leave.
Long-term disability insurance normally covers you until you’re 65 years old, replacing your income if you can’t do your job duties for an extended period of time. The goal of long-term disability insurance is to replace your take-home pay prior to your disability, which can include a variety of catastrophic issues including:
Cancer
Mental health disorders
Vehicle accidents
Bone breaks
Musculoskeletal disorders
