If you re like most people, you may be seriously underinsured for the risk of disability even if you have an employer-paid disability plan.

BOE policies reimburse business owners for any expenses incurred while disabled by injury or illness. BOE benefits are based upon expenses, not income. This is especially helpful if your tax return does not adequately reflect your income levels. The risk of disability is surprisingly high. What will happen to your business if something happens to you? The chances of survival are much higher with BOE protection in place.

11. Military doctors: Protect Your Future Earning Potential Template If you re like many military doctors, you have an urgent need to protect your future earning potential. If you become unable to work due to illness or injury during your service, your disability benefit will be based on your current pay not your future earning potential as a civilian. For this reason, many physicians and surgeons of the U.S. Armed Forces supplement their military benefits with specialized high-limit disability insurance plans. These plans ensure that you will receive: Monthly benefits to insure two-thirds of income An additional lump sum benefit of up to ten times the annual income, to indemnify the loss of future earnings The peace of mind of superior income protection 12

Many new products are available including high limit DI options and supplemental critical illness benefits to help fill the gaps created by waiting periods and medical deductibles.
