What is Own Occupation?

This definition of disability allows for you to collect full benefits, with no offsets from other income, group coverage and/or government benefits.

Own Occupation offers the most protection for a medical professional. You will need to purchase this rider in order to have the ability to double dip between income and a disability benefit, if disabled.

STEP ONE: Print the Checklist

STEP TWO: Select the Best Definition for you

Step Three: Select the Carrier That offers You the Most Value
