This stage in a physician’s career is often a busy time. Whether your finishing residency, moving on to fellowship, or starting out in practice, change is happening. With these changes come added responsibility both professionally and personally. As your life changes—new job, new city, new home—so too should your financial strategy. Your new circumstances should be taken into consideration as you develop strategies to protect your income, safeguard your family and save for the future.
While your employer coverage may provide an adequate amount of disability income insurance protection, it is likely not enough. It’s important to understand that benefits you receive through disability insurance provided and paid for by your employer, would be subject to both federal and state income taxes, so what you thought would be your monthly benefit could turn out to be lower. What’s more, employer coverage is not portable, when you change jobs, you can not take the coverage with you.
DisabilityPro Own-Specialty Disability Insurance® covers you as both a physician and a medical specialist, giving you an indispensable safety net. Completely portable own-specialty disability insurance coverage helps protect your family by protecting your income with up to $15,000 in monthly benefits. Benefits may be tax free, if premiums are paid with after-tax dollars. Consult your tax advisor.
If you have a family, life insurance should be an equal priority to ensure they are taken care of, and can manage the family’s financial obligations. This is the optimal time to apply for term life insurance—when you’re young and healthy. The AMA-sponsored Insurance Plans include a variety of life insurance options to help you meet your unique insurance needs.
For those looking to obtain the most coverage at a locked-in rate, a level term life insurance plan provides a valuable, predictable life insurance option. Choose your benefit up to $4 million and your term—10 year, 15 year, or 20 year. During that time, your rate and benefit will remain unchanged. This is coverage for physicians and their families looking to help protect the future they have envisioned and provide for ongoing living expenses, pay off a mortgage, or fund a child’s education. Your life insurance can be customized with optional coverage riders.

Apply in minutes and get a decision quickly, often on the spot. Helping to protect the financial security of those you love can be fast at rates to help meet your needs.
