Doctors and Disabilities: Three Myths
Medical professionals who are diagnosed with an unexpected disability are at risk of
losing a significant income stream. Three common misconceptions about disabilities
can jeopardize your financial security.
Fact #1: The truth is that over 1,000,000 Florida residents, age 16 to 64, suffer from a
disability. The tables are turned when a physician becomes disabled. Doctors expect to heal the injured, not be disabled themselves.
Fact #2: Even when you have disability benefits, the insurance company may try to deny
or discredit valid claims.
Fact #3: Medical professionals are trained to heal the injured, not deal with arcane legal
provisions commonly found in insurance plan documents.
