Why it matters

Your income depends on being able to practice.

Most of what you earn comes from seeing patients. If an illness or injury keeps you from working, a disability policy can pay you a monthly benefit.

Questions

What optometrists ask first.

See all questions
I have disability coverage through work. Do I need my own?
Group coverage helps, but it often has lower limits and may end when you leave the job. An individual policy stays with you, and buying younger usually costs less.
Does it pay if I can't do eye exams but could do other work?
It depends on how your policy defines disability. Some policies pay when you can't work in your own occupation; others pay only when you can't work at all. Your agent shows you the definition in your policy before you buy.
Does this pay if I lose my job?
No. Disability insurance pays when an illness or injury keeps you from working. It does not pay for job loss.
What does coverage cost?
It depends on your age, health, income and the coverage you choose. Your agent shows you exact pricing after you send the form.
Do I answer health questions to get a quote?
No. The quote form asks about you and what you need, plus your date of birth and sex for rate quotes.
Who is this program for?
Optometrists, both associates and practice owners. Individual disability coverage protects your personal income. Owners can add overhead coverage as an option.
