Insurance Agents for Physicians<\/h1>\n
<\/div>\n

Insurance is the practice of sharing risk. The classic example is fire insurance. Everybody in town pays a little so that the one person whose house burns down receives a sum of money to replace it. There is always a cost to insurance. Since an insurance company has expenses, including profit, the amount an insurance company pays out in benefits can never equal, much less exceed, the sum of the premiums an insurance company collects. Thus, insurance is a losing proposition. On average, you will lose money buying insurance. But in some aspects of your financial life, having a bad event occur, even a rare one, is so terrible that it is worth paying a price to avoid it. For a typical doctor or another high-income professional, two of the biggest financial catastrophes worth insuring against are disability and life.<\/p>\n

Disability Insurance for Physicians<\/h2>\n
<\/div>\n

The greatest financial risk for physicians is losing the ability to turn the knowledge and skills they spent a decade learning into a huge pile of money by working in their profession for decades.
\nOne of the most common of these risks is an extended or even permanent disability. Insurance companies estimate that as many as one in four doctors will be disabled at some point during their career, which is why disability insurance is critical to your financial plan.

Please do not contact every single one of our recommended agents for quotes. While it only takes you a few seconds to CC them all on a single email, they may each spend 2-3 hours compiling quotes and running illustrations for you from various companies. It might be reasonable to check out two or maybe even three of them and then go with one who seems the best fit, but you are likely to end up with the same policy in the end as if you contacted just one of them. Please make sure the policies you compare have the same riders and options, so that you get the best possible coverage for your personal needs.\n <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n
