For Physicians

What we typically help with

Physicians face a distinct planning profile — high income, often delayed earning years from training, and specific risks tied to the medical profession. Common areas where we add value:

• Disability income protection with appropriate own-occupation specialty-class definitions — the right coverage at appropriate income levels. Size the gap with our disability income gap calculator.
• Practice ownership planning, including buy-sell funding, partner protection, and key-person coverage where applicable. Estimate the need with our buy-sell funding calculator and key-person needs calculator.
• Coordinating insurance with student loan strategy, retirement account contributions, and tax-efficient accumulation.
• Long-term care planning at appropriate life stages, integrated with broader estate strategy. See potential costs with our long-term care cost estimator.
• Survivorship and family-protection structures for physicians with younger families and substantial earning years ahead. Estimate coverage with our life insurance needs calculator.

How engagements usually start

A first conversation focuses on understanding your situation:

• Career stage (residency, fellowship, early-attending, established, near-retirement) and how that shapes priorities.
• Existing coverage — group, individual, professional association — and where the real gaps are.
• Practice structure (employed, partner, owner) and the insurance implications of each.
• Existing advisors and how we would coordinate with your CPA, attorney, and fiduciary advisor.

Our process is multi-meeting. No product recommendations are made in a first conversation.
