In the last couple of episodes, we’ve started to scratch the surface when it comes to the importance of disability insurance.

Navigating the world of disability insurance as a physician can be complex, especially when it comes to understanding how medical conditions impact coverage eligibility.

In this episode of Physician Cents, Larry Keller breaks down the most common medical issues that lead to disqualification or exclusion from coverage—and what you can do to protect yourself.

From understanding Guaranteed Standard Issue (GSI) plans to spotting red flags with agents, Larry shares invaluable insights to help you make informed decisions. Tune in to learn why this foundational aspect of financial planning is critical to getting right the first time.
