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 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.
