Professional Overhead Expense (POE) Insurance Professional Overhead Expense (POE) Insurance Running your own practice is a great opportunity. But what if you were to become temporarily disabled or seriously ill? How would you cover those costs? That s where Professional Overhead Expense (POE) Insurance comes in. This plan will provide reimbursement for incurred expenses in the normal operation of a business, allowing you to concentrate on your recovery rather than worrying about the financial stability of your business or how you are going to pay expenses such as rent or your employees salaries. Coverage Professional Overhead Expense Insurance is available to CAOT members to cover the normal costs of running a business in the case of total disability. You must be covered under CAOT s Long Term Disability Insurance program to be eligible for POE Insurance. Coverage is available in units of $100, from a minimum of $500 to a maximum of $5,000 per month. Elimination period The elimination period is the amount of time you must be totally disabled before POE Insurance benefits become payable. You can choose a 14-day or 30-day elimination period. The elimination period can be satisfied with intermittent periods of disability from the same cause accumulated within six months. Maximum benefit period Benefits are payable for a maximum of 12 months and are not paid past the age of 65. Covered expenses The monthly POE benefit payable will be the lesser of the monthly benefit elected and the average of the covered monthly overhead expenses that you incur in the six months immediately preceding the start of total disability. The covered monthly overhead expenses consist of, but are not limited to, the following: rent, heat, water, electricity, telephone, depreciation, wages or salaries of your employees and other fixed expenses normally related to running an office. Taxes and mortgage interest payments on business premises that are owned by you and used by you in your profession (but not mortgage amortization payments), are included in covered monthly overhead expenses. Covered expenses do not include any salary, fees, drawing account, or any other remuneration for you or any other member of your profession or any person employed to perform the duties of your profession or occupation, or cost of goods, wares or merchandise of any nature, implements of occupation, payments on mortgage principal, or the cost of your automobiles. 18
Professional Overhead Expense (POE) Insurance Definition of total disability You are considered totally disabled if you are: unable to perform the essential duties of your regular occupation, as a result of illness or injury, and under the regular care of a physician and are not gainfully employed elsewhere. Partial disability benefit You may qualify for partial disability benefits if, immediately after a period of total disability for which you received benefits, you begin working again, under the supervision of a physician. The benefit is equal to the monthly total disability benefit reduced by: 50% of the net earnings from gainful employment, and any other amount payable to you that is listed in the Integration of Benefits provision. Waiver of premium You will not pay POE premiums if you are totally disabled for 90 days or more, have not reached 65 years of age and you are receiving total disability benefits. Integration of benefits When Professional Overhead expenses are covered under another insurance plan which provides similar coverage to the benefits provided by this benefit, Sun Life will pay only the proportional share of the eligible overhead expenses that are incurred.
