Biggest Mistake

The biggest mistake people make when they shop for disability insurance is attempting to compare rates. No two disability policies are the same, and therefore there is no way to compare them apples to apples. Have a range of money you are willing to spend on the insurance, and then have the insurance company show you what they can offer in that price range. Not just the monthly benefit, but optional riders, and benefits built into the policies.

 

 

 

Shopping
More people each year are using the internet to obtain disability insurance coverage. There is more information accessible to the consumer than ever before, empowering you to make an educated decision. The strength of the products we sell is evident to the person who understands what they are buying. The simple price shopper will most likely end up with inferior coverage, and most likely realize their mistake at the worst possible moment. Disability insurance is not a product that you can compare by price, monthly benefits, elimination period, and riders. You have to read and understand the language of the riders, and the language of the definitions within the disability insurance policy. There is always a reason if the price for a policy is quite inexpensive, most likely because the definitions of the policy and riders are restrictive.

Beginning the Shopping Process
The process of shopping for disability insurance can be as easy, or as painful as you would like it to be. We will actually only quote people we believe belong with one of the major carriers we work with. If you request a disability insurance quote from us, and we don't think you are a good fit for coverage with one of the carriers we work with, then we will send you an e-mail with a link to another company we do think you should obtain coverage with. Some of the other companies we will recommend people to are:

bulletAssurity - For blue collar occupations.
bullet Fidelity Security - For people with serious medical history.
bullet Illinois Mutual - For some gray collar occupations.
bullet Mass Mutual - For government employees who are not M.D.'s, CPA's, Attorney's, or Engineers.
bullet Guardian Disability Insurance Brokerage - For people who only want quotes from Berkshire and Guardian..

Research & Evaluation
Take your time researching the different provisions within a long term disability income insurance policy. We will send you four automatic e-mail reminders with a link to your proposal and application. This is our way of reminding you about it, please don't consider it pushy. After the fourth one, you won't get any more, and we delete all of your private information from our database. We will not sell anything about you to any other company. Take time to read other web sites like About Disability Insurance, and study the main aspects of any quote you receive.

Occupations That Are A Definite Fit
We mentioned before we will only quote occupations that are a good fit for the disability insurance companies we work with. We make no money sending out quotes to people who are not good fits, and end up buying from the company that is a good fit. Some of the occupations that are an excellent match with our carriers are:

bulletPhysician / Surgeon / Anesthesiologist / Dentist / Radiologist
bulletEngineer / Architect / Attorney / Accountant
bulletSoftware Consultant / Computer Analyst / Web Designer
bulletExecutive / Manager / Sales People (income over $50,000)

If your occupation is not in this list, please don't think this means we don't want your business. This list is simply to provide an example of some of the occupations we write on a frequent basis.
