The Best Time to Buy Disability Insurance 

The best time to buy disability insurance is when you are young and healthy. Your eligibility to obtain disability insurance is heavily based on your current and past health. 

As a highly trained medical professional, your earning potential is closely tied to your specific skills. Without own-occupation coverage, you might find yourself in a situation where you’re unable to practice your specialty but are not eligible for benefits because you can still work in another field. That is why we partner with the below insurance companies who offer the best own-occupation coverage.
