High Limits Disability Insurance

Additional Protection for Doctors

PROBLEM: Many high-earning doctors don’t have enough disability income protection.

SOLUTION: MGIS High Limits Disability Insurance supplements other policies to provide high-earning doctors with true 70% income protection.

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 $20,000

>

Monthly benefits of up to $20,000 with a simplified issue 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.

Flexible underwriting

>
  • Enrollment of the plan through our single Multi-Life Declaration form (with no individual underwriting) – offering the fastest, most efficient way to enroll groups with 5 or more eligible doctors (minimum participation requirements apply)
  • Simplified Issue: through a short individual participant questionnaire

Quick application and enrollment process

>

Our process helps group practices and insurers achieve high participation. High touch and convenient online experience help individuals easily apply for coverage in all settings.

Coverage for mental nervous & drug and alcohol (MNDA disabilities)

>

Up to 24-month payout for disabilities caused by mental/nervous or drug/alcohol conditions.

Highlights

High Limits

MGIS High Limits Disability Insurance offers benefits up to $20,000/month with no individual underwriting for groups of five doctors or more.

Supplements Existing Disability Insurance

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

As with other MGIS disability insurance products, the MGIS high-limits disability insurance contract has been designed from the ground up to meet the specialized income-protection needs of doctors.

Recruit and Retain

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 doctors 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.

Flexible Underwriting

Our process helps group practices and insurers achieve high participation. A high-touch and convenient online experience helps individuals easily apply for coverage in all settings.
