Consider These Features

Aligned with other MGIS disability insurance

>

All MGIS insurance products were created with doctors specifically in mind.

MGIS High Limits Disability Insurance supplements existing individual and group disability insurance to provide up to 70% income replacement for high-earning doctors.

Disability Guard for DoctorsTM mirrors key features of individual disability insurance (IDI) while preserving the advantages of traditional group LTD coverages.

MGIS also offers short-term disability, group life, and accidental death and dismemberment insurance.

Up to 70% income replacement

>

Monthly benefits are subject to 70% of income and payable for up to 60 months.

Monthly benefits up to $80,000

>

Monthly benefits of up to $80,000 or lump sum benefits of up to $2,000,000 may be available if an applicant completes the full underwriting process.

Lump-sum benefits up to $2 million

>

Monthly benefits of up to $80,000 or lump sum benefits of up to $2,000,000 may be available if an applicant completes the full underwriting process.

Definition of disability = actual procedures (e.g., CPT, CDT)

>

The definition of disability for doctors should be narrow and specific. A broad and subjective definition leaves doctors vulnerable to being disqualified from receiving benefits.

MGIS defines disability based on the actual procedures each doctor regularly performed for twelve months before the onset of disability.

The MGIS claims team determines “actual procedures” by obtaining billable procedure codes from the policyholder, including CPT, CDT/ADA, modifiers, and other codes relevant to the individual claimant.

If the MGIS claims team determines that the disability prohibits the claimant from performing one or more of these actual procedures, and there is a requisite loss of income, the claimant will be considered disabled.

Healthcare employers must compete to employ doctors during the growing physician shortage. Savvy brokers can help healthcare employers recruit and retain doctors by understanding the importance of disability insurance. Offering the right type and amount of disability insurance can bolster recruiting and retention efforts, with physicians being three times more concerned about disability risk than professional liability risk. Brokers who help their clients achieve up to 70% income replacement will win in today’s competitive marketplace.
