Professional Disability Insurance Denials: FAQs Answered
Q. What is Professional Disability Insurance?
Many professionals, such as doctors, lawyers, dentists, and self-employed business owners, purchase disability insurance privately rather than through their workplace. This type of disability insurance replaces income in case they cannot work due to ongoing illness or injury. Claims made under these policies typically undergo scrutiny, and early legal intervention in these cases is important.
Q. What Should I Consider Before Purchasing a Private Disability Insurance Policy?
Private disability insurance is usually more expensive than group insurance offered through an employer, but it often includes more comprehensive coverage. Many policies offer benefits if you cannot perform your usual occupation, known as "Own Occupation" insurance. Nevertheless, it's important to note that these policies may reduce benefits if you can work in a different occupation that pays a lower income.
Q. What Does Professional Disability Insurance Cover?
The extent of coverage is contingent upon the specific insurance product you choose and your current income. It's not possible to acquire insurance that surpasses your existing earnings. However, many private policies provide the flexibility to purchase additional coverage by considering updated income information.
Q. Are Professional Disability Insurance Denials Common?
Unfortunately, yes, professional disability insurance denials are common. Obtaining disability coverage often involves an extensive application. Providing accurate answers to all qualifying questions is essential. If there are any inaccuracies between your initial application and your subsequent disability claim, your policy could be cancelled on the basis of misrepresentation.
