Disability Insurance
If you are self-employed, have limited disability coverage through your employer-supplied group insurance, or want to increase your entitled benefits by complementing your existing coverage, then you may want to consider Individual Disability Insurance.
Individual Disability Insurance protects your earnings against the risk of loss or suspended income due to illness or injury. Coverage often includes paid sick leave, short-term disability benefits and long-term disability benefits. An added benefit of Individual Disability Insurance is that the policy follows you regardless how often you change jobs.
With Individual Disability Insurance, the policy is underwritten to specifically meet the needs of your profession. Premiums and available benefits for individual coverage vary considerably between companies and the profession for which you are seeking coverage.
Other coverage variants include, how soon after illness / injury benefits are paid out, the length of time you are entitled to benefits, and under what conditions the premiums can change. Understanding policy variants is crucial when comparing insurance products. It is strongly recommended that you seek the advice of a professional insurance broker or brokerage firm when considering taking out any kind of insurance product.
Key highlights of Individual Disability Insurance:
- Coverage follows you when you change jobs
- Complements government and employer group insurance benefits
- Specifically written for your profession
With Individual Disability Insurance, you get uninterrupted coverage and protection that meets your individual needs.
