The Importance of Guaranteed Issue (GSI) Coverage

No Medical
Exam Required

Coverage is offered without the need for a medical exam.
Pre-Existing Conditions May Be Covered
Pre-existing conditions may be covered under certain guaranteed issue programs, helping protect your income regardless of your medical history.

Permanently Discounted Rates

The rates offered through GSI plans will remain discounted for as long as you maintain your coverage.

Why Guaranteed Issue Coverage is So Valuable

Normally, obtaining individual disability coverage requires going through a complete medical underwriting process — allowing the insurance company to deny coverage based on any current or pre-existing medical condition.

Guaranteed issue allows doctors to secure the right to protect more of their future income, regardless of what may have happened on or off the job. It’s invaluable to any doctor with a health condition who might otherwise be prevented from protecting their income when they complete their training.
